JOTR EPS 28 - Sorry Grandma… Women Are Happier When They Don’t Cook.

🔥 Are Women Happier When They Don’t Cook? The Jenns Get SAVAGE.

In this unfiltered episode of Jenns on the Real, we’re breaking down the truth nobody wants to admit:
Women are happier when they’re NOT cooking, NOT stressing, and NOT being the default chef of the household.

The Jenns dive deep into why so many women feel pressured to take on traditional “kitchen roles” while juggling careers, kids, and life — and what actually happens when they stop. Spoiler: happiness skyrockets.

💬 We get into:
– Why cooking became an expectation for women
– How emotional labor hides behind “just make dinner”
– The relationship shift when women stop doing all the cooking
– The guilt society puts on women who don’t want to cook
– The freedom, peace, and JOY that comes when she stops being the household chef

This episode is bold, savage, and probably going to hurt some feelings — but it WILL start a conversation.

Podcast Summary:
The video, "Jensen on the Real" episode 29, discusses the topic of whether women are happier in their relationships when they do not have to cook. The speaker, along with a person named Jen, agrees with the idea that not cooking makes women happier. They attribute this to the pressure associated with the task.

Key points from the discussion:
Pressure to Cook The speaker explains that the pressure starts when a child is born, as the mother feels obligated to feed the child. This pressure continues as the children get older, asking, "What is there to eat?" and "Mom, I'm hungry". Additionally, there's pressure when prepared food is not liked by others, leading to forcing them to eat.
The speaker’s experience with cooking The speaker recalls cooking a lot in her first marriage, including daily cooking and meal prepping. In her current relationship with her husband, Marcel, they would share the cooking. The speaker currently uses a healthy food meal delivery service, even now. The speaker and Jen agree that ordering takeout is often expensive and the quality of the food is questionable.
The History of Cooking The hosts discuss how the responsibility of cooking may have historically fallen to women because men would go hunting and bring back the animal. They speculate that since women were not hunting, cooking became their task.
Help from Spouses The hosts acknowledge that many partners, including their own, help with cooking. Marcel, the speaker's husband, cooks sometimes, and David helps the other host a lot. The speaker notes that men often like to eat the most, which drives them to cook a bigger or different meal.
Other Tasks The speaker and Jen agree that having a cleaning lady also makes women happy because they don't have to clean. The speaker says that women have a lot of pressure, especially when married with kids, as the responsibility for the children often falls to the mother.
Conclusion The speaker concludes that not having to cook makes women happier and encourages men to help their spouses to ensure a "happy wife, happy life".
The last part of the video is an off-topic conversation about finding and collecting change, the value of old coins, and the liability issues that prevent restaurants from giving away leftover food to the homeless.
