[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non-cooks get so upset when people who love to cook actually cook for their kids... it's like cooking for your kids offends them or questions the way they raise their kids so they have to act like it's an act of terrible parenting.

[b]And the people who want their kids to pay or pay 1/2 like WTF. [/b]

:shock: [/quote]

Crazy, that a parent would expect a kid to pay or pay half for an unnecessary, luxury item. The horror!  :shock: Do you seriously just buy your kids whatever they want without question??[/quote]

I don't consider food a luxury item. It's a request for a particular type of food. [/quote]

You do you. I think that’s spoiling your kids. I don’t just grant my kid a “request” for expensive food. [/quote]

Well I don't deny my kids healthy food simply because it is more expensive. [/quote]

How nice to be in an economic class where you don't have to say 'no' to your kids.  I'm solid middle class but just because my kid want something 'healthy' doesn't mean I buy it.   My kids prefer raspberries but I buy strawberries because they're a better value.[/quote]

Are strawberries always a better value? We buy big bags of frozen berries all year as well as fresh when in season. My kids prefer blueberries and sometimes, in season, they are cheaper than strawberries.

But bananas are cheapest of all and if saving money is what matters most, you’d be saving a lot more just feeding your kids bananas and not any berries of any kind.

That said, are you really saving THAT much on strawberries vs. raspberries? Enough that it’s worth you kids looking back and saying “Mom was so cheap that she never let us have raspberries because they were 50 cents more per lb.”[/quote]

Yeah that PP doesn't sound very lovable. I doubt her kids will look back fondly on their childhoods with her....[/quote]

Or a teen could, I don’t know, get a job if they want expensive stuff [/quote]

What jobs can teens get in this economy? We see adults bagging groceries, walking dogs, and knocking on doors to mow lawns.[/quote]

Bagging groceries, walking dogs, tutoring, mowing lawns, etc. Parents make that excuse for their kids a lot. They have to call around. Grocery stores are hiring. [/quote]

They are hiring adults.[/quote]

They are hiring teens. [/quote]
