This is right in the “people who buy pre-cut vegetables or jarred garlic are lazy” category. Ableds stop judging everyone and refusing to consider different levels of physical ability.
(Also who gives a fuck if someone is lazy? Mind your own fucking business.)

one of my neighbors once said ‘oh that’s the house that gets stuff delivered a lot’ so the next time I saw them out I made sure to mention that I was chronically ill and I order so I can actually do stuff around the house without using all of my available energy. their reaction was enough 😌

I can only manage to cook "easy" meals on good health days, and basically not cook otherwise. Shaming doesn't help
The reality is I have far less free time than I did working 10+ hours a day, and I do far less cooking and general saving money activities because of my disability 😩
I am lucky and have a really flexible salaried job, but if I'm working less one week because I'm not doing well, that "free time" isn't going into anything else productive, it sank into the pit lol it's gone
Doing that "small" job caused a 4 day pain flare and I didn't even fully fix it before I had to stop and call a plumber anyway 🤷♀️ just not worth it
I prefer to pre-pay the ADHD tax, because then I'll actually benefit.
- working enough to have food $
- shopping/ordering
- putting groceries away
- the mental burden of figuring out what to eat
- actually cooking
- taking out trash, recycling, compost
- storing leftovers
- cleaning out the fridge
etc
Yeah I don’t get why people are so concerned about what’s going on in kitchens they’re not eating in.
Then my MCAS ramped up to the point where my body can’t tolerate pre-cut because it grows more histamine.
Literally can’t do fresh food anymore unless I have a caregiver to prep & cook it.
Ableds have no idea.
now my life is made possible by automation, machines and delivery
ableds are damn lucky if they never have to figure out how to streamline and minimize the effort required to maintain daily existence down to the bare minimum
