Nakia Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 So, I had a wretched day. While waiting on my youngest to finish dance class, I got a call from Patrick. He told me he would take care of dinner. I figured it was going to be something from a drive-thru, and I was totally fine with that after the day I had. I got home, and he had fixed Hamburger Helper and... tater tots. And I ate it. And so did my kids. And we liked it. So that's how my husband defines "taking care of dinner." The first chance he got, he ran right out and got that crap (that I ate happily). :lol: It's funny because I found out today what would happen if I kicked the bucket. My kids would be eating like the Duggars. Should I go ahead and add a kilt picture? :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I am not head cook and bottle washer around here. My kids eat like hobbits. They get up and eat cereal while I cook breakfast. Today was eggs, croissants (err..I just heated those up) and chocolate banana smoothies. At around 11 they had sandwiches and carrots. At one they had ramen. At three they had cheese, crackers and fruit. At six I made dinner (burgers and mac and cheese, as I said before). Most of them had a snack before bed.

LBS Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 All this true stuff: Dad is a hero when he opens a can and heats the contents, and puts peanut butter on a cracker. Yes, it has happened here. A little redeeming thought: it is likely your child will face these foods at some point in his future, and #1 it will not be forbidden fruit, so he'll not crave it/buy it/consume it in great quanties (I've got a picture in my mind of a thousand boxes of 'Helper in the pantry) and #2 if he faces a batch of tater tots at a friend's house he won't make a fool of himself eating them all and #3 if he faces a plate of hamburger helper at a friend's house, he'll know what it is and not embarrass himself. Good manners thang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

********* Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I am thankful. I have an amazing husband. No doubt about that! That's sweet. If my dh said he was 'taking care of dinner', it would NEVER in a MILLION years mean that he was cooking. Ever. And it CERTAINLY would not mean he was cooking something as 'complicated' as hamburger helper and tater tots. I think the MOST we would get would be cereal and toast. He would just pick something up. Which is GREAT, don't get me wrong. But it's sweet that your dh actually cooked something. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in GA Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I just had to say this was a very clever post and great title, ha ha! And if my husband "helps out with dinner," he would pour bowls of cold cereal, put frozen waffles in the toaster, or possibly go all-out and make a few eggs. And I just realized that now tater tots make me think of Glee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
