[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tell my kids to figure it out themselves. Eat whatever they want that's healthy. By age 6 they could put together something simple. Maybe they needed me to cut something or pour boiling water out. [/quote]
The thought of 6 year olds making their own dinner is sad to me. Really any kid under like 12. Geez.[/quote]

My 5 year old does this occasionally. Or makes his own lunch on the weekend. Usually a tortilla with nut butter and toppings like fruit, granola, etc. I don’t find it sad… [/quote]

I agree it is sad.  It is great they can do it, but sad that a parent is not willing to create a family dinner.  I despise cooking.  Hate it but still manage to throw something togethor.  [/quote]

At 5 and 7 my kids made dinner one night a week for the family. They loved it! They both cook all the time now as teens. I hate cooking my kids and husband love to cook. Why not have them do it? One of my teens experiments now doing gluten free crepes and other things. Start them young. They can do it and enjoy it.[/quote]
