only if it is all cut and washed before she puts it together and really that's 95% of the work so no time saved. also she can't be left alone for long, so really it isn't a big convenience when she grabs something from the fridge or uses a butter knife to butter bread (not trusting her with anything sharper, she'll wind up minus a finger and then not freaking tell us for an hour or something like that)
appointments (including massive amounts of medical and developmental stuff for said autistic kid... like four times a week when you count swimming for the disabled and her autistic girls group) extracurriculars, picking people up and dropping them off, everyone has at least one evening social or competitive function a week that is for them and they really shouldn't have to give up, and twice a week to see elderly relatives and arrrrrgh.
And we've only got one car and can barely afford that so a lot of stuff gets done by public transport.
Four people, two major disabilities, three minor disabilities, three educational institutions, four jobs, twelve hobbies/sports, fuck cooking dinner half the time, you nuke something (maybe leftovers, or a box meal) or you pick up something on your way to or from somewhere.
I think the ppl who are so zealous about everyone homecooking are so fucking clueless it makes my teeth hurt.
