[quote=Anonymous]I think it is more of a sibling rivalry thing than anything, and I don’t think any household provides “as much as one wants” of more expensive items like steaks, out of season berries or whatever. Especially considering teen boy appetites. I will say this sounds really exhausting for the cook. Can you do a hearty vegetarian meal sometimes (like meatless baked ziti + salad + garlic bread, vegetarian chili or whatever)- and then the next night do a meat centered meal (steak + potatoes + veg etc) & ask the vegetarian kid to prep his own quick protein item to substitute for the steak? Or reheat an veg protein item made in bulk? To reduce having to cook so many different things? I’d find it stressful to trying to please everyone each night. I’m more concerned about you. 🤣 The kids sound fine and I would not entertain these complaints given you have plenty of other healthy leftovers & items to snack on. [/quote]
