Does this still stress you now?

New research reveals that the most time-consuming back-to-school task for parents isn't the school run, but planning family meals. According to a survey by Mindful Chef, parents spend the equivalent of 15 working days annually deciding what to cook, adding to the stress of the new school term.

I sometimes find it difficult to decide what we’re going to eat for the week.
Should somebody tell these poor parents that this stress doesn’t get any easier?

I do that too.
Maybe the next call on schools should not be to teach cooking per se, but to teach the art of meal planning for a week and maybe extra classes to help existing parents.
