[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh? I cooked thanksgiving dinner at 11. Why are you raising such helpless children?[/quote] It doesn't sound like OP's children are helpless. She's asking about doing it without supervision. That's not a test of cooking skills. That's a test of maturity. [b]Considering I had college roommates who freaked out when they caught something on fire in the dorms, I think it's a legitimate question about age[/b]. [/quote] This is actually even MORE reason to teach and coach your children about these things early. I had college roommates who were helpless with anything that had to do with maintaining a home on your own (obviously I don't mean a whole house, but those skills). Some wore it like a badge of honor, like that was all beneath them, but they just seemed like helpless children![/quote]
