[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say I went on a strike; I'd say when my picky one was a sophomore or junior in HS, I burned out and gave up and started ordering take-out. My picky one is now in college and I still rarely cook. It's like I'm permanently burned out on cooking. I will say I tried for YEARS but I also have the DH who is picky, and would do stupid things like when dinner was on the table, he'd run off to leave a voicemail or check his email. I was never able to break that habit, so the family meals together broke down once my kids became teens. They had his poor role modeling and when you are also trying to corral your spouse, they are not only a hindrance, but also, equally timportantly, they are not a help (so, for example, not helping get the kids to the table) Sorry for the tangent. Just want to say that my kids turned out all right! The only downside is it's $$, but psychologically it's probably saved my mental health so I see it as an investment.[/quote]
