[quote=Anonymous]I think maybe you have to keep in mind that even though your 17-year-old is doing an associate degree and has a job, she's still 17, and needs more hand holding than an adult. My strategy is to plan meals in advance, not when it's already late and someone worked long hours and is hungry. I do think it makes sense to be more intentional about teaching your daughter (and son, if he doesn't know) what to do in the kitchen. As for carryout, in our family everyone is invited out to dinner, anyone who wishes not to join suggests an alternative plan (I'll make ramen or I'll get takeout from Chipotle, etc.). If they specifically wanted me to pick up something on way home, I'd be OK with that, if it was a reasonable request.[/quote]
