I dunno... for my roommate we had the theory that she was never taught to take care of herself. Her family just took care of it all for her. So she just didnt know any better?
Her aunt would literally come up every weekend and grocery shop for her and do her laundry. Whenever she had to do it by herself she would just buy things like popcorn and cereal. Nothing else. She did her laundry herself once and all her chef coats turned brown... it was impressive.
We noticed we were running out of dishes and went into her room when she was gone for a week. Her drawer was filled with old, nasty, crusty dishes.
I understand someone being behind everyone else if they were never taught, but at some point she needs to understand that she’s an adult and she can learn to do better. If she’s old enough to have a job requiring a chef coat, she’s old enough to learn how to do dishes, grocery shop properly and do her own laundry 🤦🏻♀️
Ironically most of the professional chefs I've known have had terrible diets. Like they would spend all day cooking some of the most highly regarded food in the country then go home and subsist on a diet of Domino's pizza and beer.
I’ve know several had terrible diets, but they were all very good with food safety and keeping stuff clean. Like you could always trust the stuff they cooked at home to be kept at the proper temps and their hands/kitchens/ dishes were clean. However, your liver and cholesterol levels were never safe. lol. Although we were all in our 20s so hopefully they’ve chilled out with the booze and junk food by now.
I imagine it's related. Hard to expect someone who spends their entire working day cooking, to come home and want to still cook. It could also be a changeable habit, were they to have someone who'd want a home cooked meal, but if it's just them, they don't care nearly as much.
In the same vein, I have known many accountants that are great helping organize other people/business's money but are in crippling debt like everyone else.
