[QUOTE="wldinnh, post: 48503, member: 3763"] I agree on the "I'm not a restaurant" comment! I tell my daughter that all the time when she tells me she doesn't like what's for dinner so what can I make her instead. (My answer is "this is not a restaurant, it's either what I've made or go get yourself a bowl of cheerios.") However, you could give him options on what to help you make for dinner one or two nights a week. My difficult child helps make the whole dinner on Friday nights and helps with one part of the dinner on other nights. I give her a couple of choices on what we could make for Fridays(things I know that are easy for her to help with) and then let her decide which one we'll be making. The other nights I might tell her she's in charge of vegetables and tell her to look in the fridge and freezer and pick one out. Of course, with her Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) issues, if it's a bad day, just asking her to make a choice of vegetables becomes a nightmare because she's so anxious about making the "wrong" choice! Some nights I can't win no matter what I try.... [/QUOTE]
