[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your spouse needs to stop focusing on what others are doing.  First, it is counterproductive and second, whatever he is imagining probably isn't true.

Everyone is tired with that many kids and activities.  There are many days it feels as busy with two teens as it was with two toddlers.  Just a different kind of busy.

But, I agree with others, you are not helping matters with 3 meals and all the driving.  You can make one meal.  Ex.  Fajitas. Put out both corn and flour tortillas if someone can't have gluten.  Someone is vegetarian, then you put out chicken and sautéed mushrooms. Then you put out rice, beans, avocado, tomato, cheese, etc. and let everyone build their own.  Next time, it's some sort of bowl with rice, beef, mushrooms, carrots, onions, and sauce.  Your picky eater can have rice and beef.  And, so on.

The 9th grader should be doing their own laundry and 6th grade is time to learn.

If you aren't using a chore chart, start.  [/quote]

So you are cooking ride, sauté mushrooms, sauté chicken/beef, dicing tomato’s, onions, and carrots. I assume you mean shredded cheese and canned beans — but even simple fajita has a lot of ingredients and prep?![/quote]

Np. Who said fajitas are simple? It's not complicated, like cooking three dishes would be, but it still involves multiple ingredients. That's most cooking.

A burger with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes has five ingredients, and most people still add sides, which increases the ingredient count. Unless you're cooking out of a box, I don't see how you would drastically reduce the number of ingredients.

Don't get me wrong, though, if you need to cook out of a box, by all means.[/quote]
