What would happen when .....

its not hard to cook, she just needs to start off with basic dishes and adapt and work her way up. encourage her to try and cook something once a week so she starts to get the hang of it.

i also happen to disagree with the idea that she doesnt need to learn and cooking isnt important. in an ideal world it wouldnt matter if she can cook or not but in the real world she will probably be expected to atleast cook here and there. my best friend’s sister got married last yr and she has never ever cooked at home. she had a love marriage and her IL’s were always very nice to her and she had no worries about cooking because the MIL usually cooked the evening meal. but then her MIL ended up seriously ill in hospital and ofcourse it fell to the DIL to cook and the only thing she could come up with was omlettes and plain boiled rice. her hubby and FIL never said anything about her lack of cooking skills but she was embarrassed enough about it to go back home on the weekends and learn how to cook from her mother.

the point is ur daugther will hav to cook one day or another so just encourage her to learn a few things at home to make it easier for herself in the future

Not only that but it’s a good skill to have, to be able to cook/take care of home. No matter how educated/well paid she is, she will have to take part in running her household…etc. Not only that but even if her hubby is super understanding, eventually they would get tired of eating out and want a simple home cooked meal. Or like the poster said, what if unforeseen events come up, it helps to be able to make a few meals.
