[quote=Anonymous]I make food that tastes good and my kids eat it.  There are some "weird" things that I grew up on and enjoy but the kids don't like them so I don't make it.  Things like tongue and liver I just order at restaurants now.

But if I'm making salmon or rack of lamb, yeah, my kids eat the meal.  I don't mind cooking but who wants to wash and clean up multiple meals multiple times per week.  In my house, I'm head chef, head dishwasher, and chief evening learning specialist.  There's a lot going on at night.

My kids are 6 and 9.  Their friends know if they are staying for dinner, they get what is offered.  I always have on the table cut up raw veggies.  One of my kids will only eat raw vegetables.  That doesn't bother me.  If I'm making steamed broccoli for dinner, I just put a bunch of raw on her plate.

I have friends that can't/won't cook.  They often call me up and ask what's for dinner.  I'm known as the house you go to when you want to feed your kid a real meal.

Least you think all is well in my house, I do permit the kids to have soft drinks with dinner.[/quote]
