[quote=Anonymous]When my kids were around that age I went on a strike. Then we implemented a schedule. Everyone had to cook one meal a week. Meals had to have a protein and a vegetable, and could not be a frozen meal. Sunday - 15 year old made brunch every week. Usually pancakes, eggs, and a breakfast meat Monday - 17 year old would cook. He varied his meals the most Tuesday - I would cook Wednesday - 13 year old (pescatarian) would cook. We usually had a salad of some sort with a faux steak or blackbean burgers. Other times a rice dish, as the rice cooker was easy for her to use Thursday - leftovers Friday - we ordered pizza/sushi or tacos Saturday - my husband would usually grill That was the general schedule. It may have moved a little, but it worked around practices and jobs, and gave me a break. It also taught the kids a ton. [/quote]
