[quote=Anonymous]DC are 9 and 11, definitely old enough to offer opinions and help to a degree. I generally let them each pick a meal, within reason during the week when I meal plan/grocery shop. They will look through the flyers, see what's on sale (I totally plan around sales/bargains!) and know to request based on that. This week one asked for spaghetti and one requested sloppy joe's, both of which made it onto the list. During the week, meals are usually quicker or done in the crock pot, but they can set the table, pour milk, etc. On the weekends if they ask, I'll take their help when I'm browning meat, making a salad, etc, but I don't MAKE them help---and honestly it's easier w/o their help sometimes, LOL! How much participation to you get/ask for/demand from your kids?[/quote]
