[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 370219, member: 1991"] Farmwife, now is the time (if you're not already doing it) to say to him, "You will be moving out one day in the not too distant future, I need you to take over sharing various daily living tasks so I can make sure that you will be able to do them alone when you are solely responsible for yourself. Besides - think how much your future girlfriend or wife will love it, if you are a gourmet cook and know how to mend your own clothes and do your own washing. Women love it when a guy can cook the occasional meal and can do other domestic tasks. It also saves a lot of money and tastes better, to cook a meal from scratch." A good meal to teach him, because it can be done in stages, is lasagne. Because he's a teen male, make it a HUGE lasagne. I make a 2.5 Kg lasagne in the baking dish. PM me if you want the recipe. Also, if it's available yet in the US - look for the Nintendo DS Cooking Guide. It's been a marvellous tool for both my boys learning to cook. We gave difficult child 1 a copy as a wedding present. And yeah, about the sewing machine - HANDS OFF THE HUSQVARNA! Marg [/QUOTE]
