[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pay your kids to cook dinner…so many dinner  recipes/prepared foods a 13 year old could prepare/heat up:

One-pan chicken/potatoes/roasted vegetables 
Chicken in a pot with Rao’s marinara over spaghetti 
Smashburgers in a skillet
Meatloaf
Frozen panko-crusted shrimp
Bagged salad kits[/quote]

Couldn’t disagree with you more on bribing children not to eat junk food for dinner! [/quote]

Op said to pay her children to cook, not to bribe them to not eat junk. [/quote]

Still disagree and honestly am shocked anyone would think this makes sense let alone is a good idea! Kids should cook because they need to eat, not because mommy is paying them. [/quote]

I don’t pay my kids for chores, we have had a solid routine for years, but plenty of people do and as far as I can tell it doesn’t mess any kids up to be paid for chores. It’s just like giving them an allowance to help take out the trash and feed the dog. The op has been in a hard place in life with her spouse working late and the family being in a junk food rut. It’ll be hard to get the teens out of addictive junk food; so if they need a little incentive. I applaud her for wanting to make a change. I just spent a week with extended family and they exist on junk food and it’s really bad. I would be thrilled if they wanted to make some changes. [/quote]
