What I really dislike about my parents’ home cooked meals is, inevitably they haven’t eaten anything/anything other than a few carbs for most of the day previously and get started late, which means they’re cranky at each other and me. Like… I actually had a chicken salad sandwich earlier and drew some, and even with that buffering me I’m on edge expecting to be snapped at.

@Leucrotta That's upsetting to hear 😥 Home-cooked meals are meant to express love to those who are being served. I also believe home is meant to be a safe haven from the rest of the outside world. I'm sorry you have to deal with such tension and I hope sometime soon you'll be able to feel at ease.
