[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't cook anything but dinner for kids who are teenagers, unless it's a special occasion. They can figure it out themselves. [/quote] For real. WTH, parents. You shouldn't be making lunch for a teenager. [/quote] So rude! My kids are busting their butts dealing with all this craziness and I can’t be bothered to make lunch for the children I decide to have???? I get a lot of you are working and really need them to help, but you do not have to flame those of us who can do this to help our kids out right now. I am a SAHM with way less on my plate than others, so guess what- I make teens lunch, it’s my job. It also helps them eat as soon as lunch starts and have a few minutes for a real break. My kids do other chores around the house after their school day, so it’s not that I let them get away with not contributing. [/quote] It has nothing to do with whether you're a SAHM or not. You should be teaching your teens to be independent. Prepare them for life. [/quote] NP. I 100% agree with you, but at the same time I am watching my previously happy and engaged 17-year-old become increasingly depressed and despairing about his senior year up in flames and I am seeking to support him in any way I can, including by trying to make sure he is getting good healthy food, good solid sleep, and decent exercise every day, because it is important for mental health. So right now I am less interested in his preparation for life and more interested in what's happening today. I'm glad to hear other parents don't have to be concerned about this, but this is a reality for some of us.[/quote]
