[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Delegate. Is there a significant other? They need to be in charge of dinner at least two or three nights a week. Are the kids 7 or older? Each one who is needs to cook one night a week.

Also, some families plan the weeks' dinners together, so everyone has input and understands it might not be their choice one night but it will be another night. [/quote]

7 seems really early to be cooking and in charge of dinner. Helping, yes, my kids have done that since they were 3, but actually cooking and in charge of dinner?[/quote]

My kids were doing a lot of cooking by 7, but supervising a 7 year making dinner “by themselves” is just as much work and takes twice as long as cooking myself.    It’s not a solution to OP’s problem of being burnt out from too much cooking [/quote]

True, but eventually it will pay off. We spent many hours cooking with our kids when they were little (it would have been much faster without them) but now they are fully competent on their own in the kitchen and love cooking (youngest is 9). It’s also good quality time with your kids. I grew up with a mom who cooked alone in the kitchen and I would have much rather hung out with her cooking then instead of watching tv and waiting for dinner to be ready.[/quote]
