It isn’t that you don’t have time it is you don’t have a block of time. Want to make a loaf of bread? Cool. Spend at minimum 6 hours where you have to do stuff for random 15 minute intervals. Kinda hard to schedule that around work and kids. Want to make some jam with your bread? There is a solid hour plus cleanup for another 30 minutes.
Now you will say get a breadmaker. Ok wonderful I now have one more appliance in my home one more thing to think about. One more thing to find a place for.
Kids have to take a bath at a certain time, brush their teeth at a certain time, do their homework at a certain time, dishes have to be done at a certain time. Basically I am a project manager and that doesn’t include 4 hours randomly where I can sneak in some French Cuisine. And I have it easy! I know people who have more kids, less money, or are single parents.
I am firmly in the camp of make it yourself. Cooking is an art and skill. You will save money and it’s better for your health. I am also very much aware that the little bit I can do is a luxury my wealth level lets me do and don’t judge anyone who can’t.
