This week’s system is for every family where dinner technically happens every night, but one person is still carrying the planning, grocery list, preferences, leftovers, timing, and 5 p.m. decision fatigue in their head. We will cover how to turn dinner from a nightly negotiation into a monthly map, why theme nights reduce mental load, and the script that turns “help with dinner” into real shared ownership before everyone get hangry and weird.
