[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are these kids? I was sick of hearing the complaints from my 15 and 17 yo and dropped the rope.  My meals were healthy but what they really meant is I didn’t have meals that they wanted on any given night that fhrh felt like eating.

I gave each the password to the grocery delivery that I use and told them to order as they want and cook for themselves if they didn’t want to eat the meals their dad or I make.  I also offered to go any grocery store they wanted once a week and let them shop for anything they wanted.

My 17 yo often orders groceries online.  He will ask when I’m about to put in an order and ask if he can add items. It’s working well.  My 15 yo will ask to go in person to a store every other week or so to pick out things.

We both work full time and are not their personal chefs. How old is your kid? [/quote]

Age isn’t the issue. Dc cooked when they were younger. It’s time - zero during the week- and pickiness - sports related.[/quote]
