[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you deal with this as a full time working mom? Everyone looks to you for dinner. No one ever likes what you make. You don’t have room in your brain to decide on dinner every single night. Tonight I was so distracted with work issues, didn’t have time to make a decent dinner, burned the broccoli and overcooked the pasta. Everyone looking at me pretending to like it. Major fail. I wish we could afford a personal chef. Someone take this off my plate! [/quote]

I hate to tell you that it only gets worse and I wish I had a magic bullet.

I think you decide what works for you and pretty much tell your family they are going along. Or offer a couple of choices that you can live with and have them vote and agree. I'm talking about everything from meal planning to cooking to shopping to cleaning up.

I also think kids over 10 should be in charge of one meal with the other parent supervising. As they get older they are fully in charge of a meal a week. My 18 year cooks for us at least once a week.

As to people not liking it, too bad. They are free to take over the task. Otherwise they can find something else to eat and clean up after themselves as well.[/quote]
