Plus I made the green bean casserole with the Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup, made from FRESH green beans, I stood there and hand cut.
I thought everyone makes green bean casserole with fresh beans???? I thought it was a given. I work full time plus tutor on the side and work extra job three nights a week (due to not getting raise since 2009)and have ton of hobbies and I am not even any kind of creative cook, just very average and only ever made it with fresh beans. They aren’t hard to cut if you have a sharp knife. Do other people use can beans? It wouldn’t be the same texture. I am so confused with this thread.

Do other families only have homecooked meals if one person is a “stay home”? Most families I know eat homemade meals and they all work. You make it sound that working women and men wouldn’t cook from scratch. It’s not the case.
