[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is visiting and has an elaborate meal planned as usual. I'm sick and I really just want carry-out, get the kids to bed, and sleep. I know I should be grateful to have someone spearheading dinner, but I desperately don't want to chop anything, wash pots and pans, etc. She's an amazing cook, makes everything from scratch, no corners cut, but after a long day at work, I just don't want lots of cooking and cleanup. If I mention that I'd rather make a more involved recipe on a weekend, she says "why, it's so easy." [/quote] Set it up for her to cook X nights when she visits. PLan it out when you are getting carry out and when she is cooking. On the nights when she does cook, have the kids help her chop and wash pans- under her supervision so they can have more time with grandma and learn how to cook her delicious meals. [/quote]
