and aren't your DH & DD both adults??? Why do they require you to give them constant care! Their arms aren't painted on. Set the standard now for how you want things to continue LOL I love this! They are both adults and DD will gladly do her own cooking. But if I’m cooking for him, she’ll ask if I can make enough for her..and then she’ll suggest I make it different or make something else entirely..LOL. I do say no, honestly, without hesitation and she just laughs and goes on her way. DH would just leave and go get food if he had to put any effort into making it himself. He wouldn’t be ugly, he’d just ask if he could pick something up for me, too. I don’t want him to do this, so I make it. I think my whine is more the idea of having both of them home during what is traditionally my time alone. They’re cramping my routine! Marcy

Anygrown ass adult who CAN microwave but just WON’T can just eat the stuff cold. I think you are part of the problem for enabling them I AM absolutely the problem. LOL After DH’s kidneys started failing and we were so confused with what he should and shouldn’t eat, I met with a renal nutritionist and started planning what he ate to the nth degree. We compromised on his breakfast and lunch which gave him some independence as well as the convenience of eating on the road when he was out working. He had a very strict list of what he could and couldn’t eat. I cooked supper most nights and some meals on the weekend. This was a big departure from our previous lifestyle of eating out on a whim, which gave him a feeling of being in control. As his numbers went down and his diet has gotten stricter and stricter, his convenience foods have pretty much been eliminated. Most of what he could eat was on the short list of his daily foods or required cooking of some sort. He cn’t have deli meats at all, so there went the sandwiches he used to make for himself. His weekly intake of peanut butter is reserved for when his sugar drops, so no PBJs. Just one restriction after another until he just gave up even trying to keep up. He will pretty much agreeably eat what I make him, once at least, if I just don’t ask him to think about it. I offered, he didn’t ask, to cook his breakfast and lunch when he started this new job. I thought that having a set place to eat and pretty much a set time to eat would make it easier and more convenient for him to eat home prepped meals. For the time he was going there to work, he was thrilled with his packed lunches and breakfasts. It’s just suddenly having him home, and DD as well, that’s thrown me for a loop. I think the idea of prepping him a lunch and putting it aside for him as if he was still leaving the house is a good one and will probably be what I do. He’ll like being able to eat when he’s ready, too. Marcy
