[quote=Anonymous]I got so mad at DC and DH looking at me like hungry little birds multiple times a day and then pouting at dinnertime that I had a screaming breakdown and said “I’m not doing this alone anymore, we all eat, we can all plan.”

We sit down every Sunday and DC writes down every meal that week from Sunday dinner through Friday dinner. Then DC checks the school lunch calendar and writes those meals. Her and DH are responsible for looking at school lunches and figuring out what dinners complement them and the amount of time we have each night. I go through ingredients and recipes and they check the cupboards and fridge for what we are missing and DC writes the grocery list as they go. Our trash pickup is Monday so we also sort through old produce, moldy bread, etc. then.

I do 95% of the cooking, and DH finally felt enough embarrassment at these Sunday planning sessions (when that fact become obvious) to agree to do the big Sunday grocery run and most night’s worth of whatever dishes I haven’t done while cooking. DC no longer whines about boring or repetitive dinners and has actually come up with good ideas along the way.[/quote]
