[quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is your husband, he’s modeled being a jerk to your kids, and now you’re getting it from all sides. They’re all old enough for a serious conversation about how the comments make you feel and to start cooking for the family when they express displeasure. Also try to give positive reinforcement if you do get compliments. My kids are the same ages but are really good about complimenting and thanking for food, but DH and I both model that for them with each other (we both cook). The few times they were rude at younger ages the non-cooking parent quickly called the out on it. Over the summer they each were in charge of dinner one night a week, often Hello Fresh. If you can get them to cook then have a conversation with them after about they would have felt if they did all that work and you told them it was gross maybe they’d get it? Sounds like your husband is the root cause though.[/quote]
