I swear to god. LOL. Brendan is picky picky picky. I mean PICKY. The kids definitely enjoy Chris's cooking more than mine. He LOVES to cook, went to school for it and has been doing a lot of our cooking for a while. (The entire year of my discontent) and now I cook all the time...and I'm kinda sick of it. whine whine whine...I know. OH MY GOD, He JUST asked me to get him something to eat. I swear to god. LOL.

However, Brendan ill only eat pancakes from scratch, and I am not willing to clean up eggs + flour + baking powder and milk off my entire kitchen. AND he's the pickiest eater EVER. Right now he can cook, grilled cheese & Kraft dinner (ew). He can also make butter noodle but it's too much work..so he refusing...oh and pizza he can that too. And mostly I make him do it...BUT god. And if I ask him to bring me a drink...OH MY GOD! It's like slave labour! Noah tries to plunge now and it's disaster add a mop and your looking for trouble. And the toilet was actively over flowing...it really didn't any encouragement from him. You are CRAZY if you think I am willingly giving Noah a plunger and toilet full of poop and toilet paper. NUTS. LOL. Jon, awsome idea.

And my kids only eat whenever I'm not cooking. If I cook a meal? "I'm not hungry." "That's NASTY." "I don't like ice cream." As soon as my butt hits the sofa? "When are we eating?" Whatever.

I have a tween. They are hungry too. The best thing to do? Teach them to cook. Pancakes. It works wonderfully. As for the bathroom? Hand them the plunger. When they slop it all over? Hand them the mop. Its very painful at first, but they are more careful the next time. Screaming/yelling factor = 8.9 Oh, and the juice thing. What the heck is up with that? Somehow the nearest adult is the fetcher of stuff and the holder of stuff. Yeah. I just do the very long cold stare, until they go "Whaaaat?". Sigh. Oh yes. I have a tween. They are hungry too.
