Evil Mother :->
When my darling works late I take the opportunity to not cook a full meal from scratch. For example, last night was our church's pig roast fundraiser. I got two meals to go but by the time I finished for the night it was too late to eat them. So I was going to serve them for dinner tonight and make something else for the kids.
Fast forward to tonight. Darling is working til midnight. So instead of eating at 4:30 as usual, I waited until 6 when the kids were good and hungry. Then I made us sit down at the kitchen table and eat an orange before I would give them any other food. Then I sent them away and heated the pig roast dinners. I gave them each a small portion of roast pork with gravy, pineapple bake and carrots. Then I called them back and made them eat that before I would cook anything else. Now that they've finished that I will make what they want - Ramen soup and popcorn chicken. Poor husband would never have had the patience to sit through this method, plus he is hungry when he walks in the door from work. And he would not have been as amused as I was with the look on Ed's face when he ate the pineapple bake!
None the less, the kids found out that they don't HATE roast pork and we didn't have to involve dad in the tasting process.
