Ok, I wasn't a soccer mom per sey but I raised 4 kids while getting an
education that involved daily long commutes, while running a family
business and guess what, I managed to put home cooked meals on the table
for my family every night. My kids were involved in sports and other
extra curricular activities yet that meal was always on the table every
night and I managed to get to my kids' activities too. Many a day I
started at 5 am and didn't hit the pillow until 1 or 2 am later only to
repeat the pattern the next day. I know how to survive on 4 or 5 hrs.
sleep. You do what you have to do and you know what if you didn't want
to do it DON"T HAVE KIDS. So don't tell me these parents all of a
sudden have it so bad they can't make home cooked meals. As far as Ms P
goes, I'm out of the conversation.

I'm sorry to differ in opinion with you Michael. They would spend to do
their cooking *outside* their homes away from their families? I'd call
that stupid any day. Oh and check out the menu offered, not really all
that nutritious either.
