In general, people of my country like to cook/prepare their three times meals, main food, everyday or in some cases they are just bound to do it! Okay, whatever it is, I can say, they love their home made food. Then, how about working people, specially working women?
Here cooking responsibility mostly goes to females whether she stays at home , I mean home managers or working women, no mercy!
Well, it is also true generally working women have at least one staff at their homes otherwise how it is possible to cook at least three times everyday. But, all working women can not effort it, you may understand!
Till now, it is uncommon to see, working people are eating outside regularly on their way back to homes. Instead many of them like to get their home made food with them in their work places for lunch. And, of course, they have breakfast and dinner at homes.
people like to eat out occasionally whether it is in a bit costly restaurant or so called fast food. Though, having food in restaurants or having store bought food has become popular than before. But, most of the people specially general or so called middle class people are not in that group.
So, I would like to ask you what is the scenery of your country? do you like to have home made cooked food or frequently you dine out?

Thanks, Tanya.
Rose, nice to hear from you. Really is ready made food or store bought food worse there too?
Dear, tanya,I did not tell that my man does not help me...hihi...he is always helpful....even sometimes he cook for us,makes tea but not every day. And, I also do cooking rarely...we have one who cooks for us every day. But,it is not usual scenery,till now we do believe housekeeping is for females...but I can say situation is changing.now some men give their hands in household works.
As for your question, it's difficult to generalise here. It depends on everyone's lifestyle so I'll just answer my case; we live four at home but rarely or never we have lunch all together on the weekdays since every one has his/her own schedule, that was something unthinkable in my grandparents' times because it was sort of sacred to join all the family to have lunch :D
As for dinners I'm normally the person in charge to make them and they usually are light and not very formal. Many weekends we don't have dinner at home since we like going out for 'tapas' in the evening (that's still sacred hehe) or have lunch in any restaurant, I don't love it but it's also part of my job.
It deserves a mention too that meals here are later than in the rest of the countries or at least all the ones I've visited either Europe or the rest of the world but, as we say here, 'Spain's different ' :D
Thanks, dear Muskan. happy to know that now you can buy your lunch and dinner. it is really necessary when we are busy. If I think about a short distance around me, I can buy but most of the so called restaurant will not be a good choice due to cleanness that's why I will not buy and if I want standard food, I have to pay more. So, it is true, we have problem buying daily meal and that is why we have to cook at home. Thanks again!
Hi Bet,
I noticed same thing even I was doing same when I was working. I noticed reason is in old days there were really few restaurants and they were not cheap to go everyday. People went there on special occasions. But now I can easily find a cheap take away place which does not provide me a very special gourmet food but a simple lunch type pack and most important in a cheap price. So why to spend time in buying grocery and chopping vegetables if you are tired already. I don't eat much out now as I am just studying but during peak days like exams I eat a uni campus cause they have good take away places at good price.
Ohhh....I wish if I could start such a business....lol no way, dear, but for this reason most of the parents ( usually they are moms) have to get up a bit early and make the breakfast and snacks for their kids. Honestly, here having food outside is not that much healthy too. That is why we like to eat home made food. though kids eat fast food frequently from well known store but it is not healthy too, you know. So, we are bound to deal with it everyday. but of course I am happy to know that you are in a better condition.
well... why not to start such business :p here every school has canteen and huge dining room where kids eat... ofc we pay for it but it isnt as expensive as at the restaurant... it is sad you must deal with sth like this at least i can see m lucky and shouldn't take it for granted...
