[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cook dinner and they don’t always eat it but I don’t make something different.

Often they eat my dinner and something else since they need more calories.

Sometimes I make them dinner that is higher in calories and more their “type of good” and I only eat a salad or bowl of soup or cottage cheese because I’m not that hungry or can’t eat that much fat or carbs.

I think it’s insane to expect everybody to eat the same thing every dinner.[/quote]

Families have been eating the same thing for dinner for millennia. I had to explain to my kids that dinner won’t be their favorite every night. You may prefer something else, but...we’ll have that another night. My oldest son would eat a hunk of red meat for dinner every day if he had his way. My youngest would eat hot dogs daily. We aren’t doing that, but I do cook good (sometimes great food) on a daily basis. And that also means I am teaching the to be appreciative of the cook.  THAT is a life skill, too.

OP - you need marital counseling. This isn’t about food.[/quote]
