[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for you! 
I'm always amazed at men who believe cooking is either a woman's job or just plain refuse to do it when so many of the great chefs are men and commercial kitchens tend to be male-dominated. 
I love watching the kids version of master chef because for the most part kids are doing a lot of the work themselves (I am convinced they get some assistance).

Have you watched Chopped Kids? I'm sure they get assistance too, but it's much more realistic than kids Master Chef. The kids are more genuine, too. My 6yo loves watching it, and I'm hoping teaches him he can prepare meals for himself, too.

Op, so many moms are in your shoes. I think you should dial it back and come up with a routine and rules for chores and cooking, and include yourself too. You can't just disengage completely from your family. 
You'll end up like my friend who loses her mind once or twice a year because her family doesn't help out enough. She's a crazy raving lunatic for a couple days, her kids start doing more, she calms down, but things slowly go back to the way they were before. No rules or routine or solid expectations. [/quote]
