[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a vegetarian and DS and DW aren't. No need to cook two dinners. Veggie crumbles for ground beef in sauce, veggie burger in place of hamburger, haloumi cheese to grill when family grills meat (or grilled extra firm tofu). It is absolutely zero trouble or drama. Expecting a 10YO to cook is silly.[/quote] 10 and 13 are great ages for kids to learn to cook, regardless of whether they eat the same food as their family. I wouldn't expect a kid that age to cook every night, but if a child is asserting her maturity by making an ethical decision like this, she's old enough to participate in the solution. Scrambling her own age, grilling her own piece of cheese or veggie burger, etc . . . is hardly a difficult task. Similarly, if the adult in charge makes a vegetarian meal, and the OP's son really wants meat, he's old enough to prepare something too.[/quote]
