[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For years, we fed the kids first (generally leftovers), put them to bed, and then cooked and had a nice, relaxing dinner. It was glorious, and I highly recommend it.  When they got into a school schedule (they were 4 and 5) we started doing family dinners. We did eat breakfast and lunch together on the weekends.

I know many, many people that have done it that way.[/quote]

This is sad. You cooked fresh for yourself and gave your kids leftovers?[/quote]

:roll:

You must have a really good life if these are the kinds of things that make you sad. Be thankful.

We(my family and pretty much all my extended family) cook huge batches of food on the weekends. We eat the leftovers throughout the week.

Yes there is a weird aversion to leftovers and a lot of people equate them with being cheap or poor, which is weird to me. Our leftovers are the food we carefully prepared in our home? With good ingredients. Why would that be inferior?

I’d much rather give my child leftovers than Mac and cheese from a box, frozen nuggets, or any of the other processed foods many people prepare “fresh” for their kids.[/quote]
