  • I would agree that far too many take the “easy” path of just buying premade foods, but I take issue with the last comment:

    I dont remember this being difficult, even poor and working full time. Its all about the parents’ priorities.

    “Poor” can often mean more than one full time job for a single person. The framing you’re putting on this suggests that any parent has this kind of time, and it just isn’t true. Its also especially worth mentioning that a person’s income can change wildly at any time - someone doing well enough to be the stay at home parent while the other works could suddenly become a single parent. A single parent that would need to work multiple jobs just to afford to keep living in their home.

    And I say this as a parent lucky enough to work from home, and my partner being able to dedicate full time to parenting before going back to part time work.

    Yes, we made all of their food at home. Even baking the bread they eat during the week. Not everyone is lucky enough to make that happen, especially now.














  • Actually given that, if you have a weekly with AI as part of it, tagging [AIT] will allow people to filter it out.

    Its pretty ancillary to the newsletter itself so its not really required, but just to mention… if it were tagged, any low effort comments like “slop” or similar would then be removed. I don’t really see that on your posts in general though, so more a thought for later should it become a problem.
