I don't know how my mother did it for so long. Go to work at 7 get home at 4 (blue collar physical job at that), then cook dinner for 5 people night after night for like 20 years straight. My father was useless in the kitchen so it was just her.

As I went on my own I actually found that the more difficult thing is continually planning the meals for the week without repeating the same things over and over. By the time she got to her 50s she was clearly burned out.
