I had the idea for TaskRabbit one night when my husband and I were getting ready for dinner.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me.
TaskRabbit is really my first baby. So balancing the second child is something I've tackled, but I'm really passionate about what I do, and then I'm passionate about coming home and putting my baby to bed.
I had a paper round and every night I would put the dinner on before Mum came home from work. I was capable because I had to be.
To see my wife getting inspired from my notes and thoughts, going in the direction I wanted, and have her surprise me with wonderful choices was a real treat.
As I was growing up, all meals, including breakfast, were family occasions, and you all sat down to eat together - and you had to finish everything as well.
We sat together as a family for dinner at night. And my mother had a job. My dad had a job. But there was always a meal on the table at 6:00, you know.
On Saturday afternoons when all the things are done in the house and there's no real work to be done, I play Bach and Chopin and turn it up real loudly and get a good bottle of chardonnay and sit out on my deck and look out at the garden.
When I was growing up, my mother worked, and in the evenings, the whole family would sit around the dinner table and recount the day.
I like to do 'Garfield Mondays': lasagna and napping in a box.
On Sunday night, my husband makes a five-course family dinner.
