What parents would give up to get food on the table in under 10 minutes
This story version has been formatted as an on-air script for broadcast outlets. See the original research story here.
NEARLY TWO IN THREE (62%) PARENTS WOULD GIVE UP THEIR FAVORITE THINGS FOR A WEEK TO GET DINNER ON THE TABLE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES.
THAT’S ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY OF 2,000 PARENTS WITH SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN CONDUCTED BY ONEPOLL ON BEHALF OF ECKRICH.
RESULTS SHOW PARENTS WOULD GIVE UP THEIR FAVORITE MUSIC (62%), TV SHOW OR MOVIE (55%) OR MOST-LOVED OUTFIT (45%) IN EXCHANGE FOR FASTER MEAL PREP.
THAT MAY BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT SIX IN 10 (61%) ADMIT THEY’RE SIMPLY NOT VERY GOOD COOKS.
MANY SAY THE SCHOOL YEAR IS STRESSFUL AS EVER, FROM HAVING TO MAKE MEALS FOR THEIR KIDS (54%), TO HELP WITH HOMEWORK (51%) AND GETTING THEM TO BED ON TIME (51%).
WITH THEIR TIME BEING SPREAD SO THIN, IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT PARENTS OFTEN GET FRUSTRATED BY THE TIME IT TAKES TO PREPARE INGREDIENTS (54%) AND COOK THEIR KIDS’ MEALS (44%).
