[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 693253, member: 1963"] I don't think this is so much about CB's cooking skills or lack thereof. I think this is a power struggle and another way of attacking CB's self-esteem. They aren't going to like ANYTHING she cooks. They want fast food. I agree with the Poster who suggested that CB simply stop cooking for them. Stop shopping for them as well, other than basic healthy ingredients. They are both old enough to begin cooking for themselves. For the daughter, who is old enough to go out on her own (or into a group home) it is important that she learn to cook. Have a jar of peanut butter, some jelly, and some bread on hand. If you want to be nice, have some tuna and mayo as well. I was an extremely picky eater (Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)). My mother and father did not make special meals for me. There was always PBJ and tuna and if I didn't like dinner, I was welcome to make a sandwich. (It was many years as an adult before i could stomach PB or tuna.) [/QUOTE]
