Dear FlyLady,

I have been a single mom of a DS (now 18) and DD (now 15) for 11 years and they have always given input for menus and basic cooking. Two years ago when I acquired a DB (then finance now husband) we talked about cooking chores. Depending on the kids class schedule they cook one to two nights per week, DH cooks two and I cook two. On Saturday morning menus are due to me and grocery lists as well.

Both have graduated from cooking box meals to looking through cookbooks and online sites to find new recipes and figuring out what’s on hand and what we need to buy. They also understand when I say the ingredients are outside the budget.

They remember things I have made in the past and forgotten about until they ask. Helps teach planning, budgeting, and nutrition.
