[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 334100, member: 4264"] Well done! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My difficult child loves food. Good food. He'll eat junk like any teen, but give him a prime rib dinner, or homemade soup etc any day. Yet, he refuses to cook. Or learn to cook. When asked if he'd like to cook with me to learn some skills, his answer every time is to laugh and to say that if he gets desperate enough for real food when he's on his own, he can read, therefore recipes on the internet will result in cooking no problem. (snicker snicker) This is the same teenager who only learned to do laundry a few months back when I flat our refused. Once everything was dirty that he owned, he finally did as I suggested: asked me how to use the machines, measure soap, etc. I have since then refused to a single time, wash any items belonging to him. He's shrunk pricey sweaters, had some problems with dye in new clothes ruining a load or two. But now he asks if he isn't sure, and he knows I won't do it. Sadly, it doesn't work for cooking!!! He insists that he'll live on Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Mr.Noodles (Top Ramen in the USA), cereal, peanut butter sandwiches, bologna, microwaved wieners and burgers on a George Forman grill. Wow. Now there is a fantastic meal plan ;) I think its fantastic that you have found a motivation for your son. I have the sneaking feeling that over time, you might see a bit more help around meal time, and a bit more respect. He'll be missing Mama's Cooking!!! PS. Whats for dinner? I'm starving! [/QUOTE]
