[quote=Anonymous]I have a 13 yo now. Not our problem yet. A couple of years ago I was talking with a friend whose youngest is a year older than my oldest. (So he’s 14 now). She has two older. She said one big difference is you go from single cooking To cooking for two Still cooking for two when they’re babies and toddlers (add a tiny extra quantity or side dish etc) Later cooking for a family (this is where your mind is at now). They finally eat! Then… teen years. You could be cooking for 2 again OR you could be cooking for 12. “What are friends doing today?” “Oh you’re all coming over here? Pizza and I’ll make a big batch of cookies.” OR “You’re going to Larla’s? Ok, just me and dad again. Oh he’s going out with a buddy today. Just me!” So, despite having made it to years of family cooking, you will be asked last minute not to make anything OR to entertain 8 friends. So now with my 13, I’m not there either, but don’t hold it against your kid. Social life calls![/quote]
