It's a small win, but I finally made something for dinner last night that both kids liked!
That's it, you've peaked for the week!
I'd say the month actually. Also almost guaranteed they won't like it the next time I cook the same dish.
Cook it again this week, just to establish it on the menu. Or to alienate a child forever.
Multikid satisfaction is no small feat, especially if they're close enough to contrary each other
We always had red meat vs. chicken conflict. Unfortunately my mother and sister both preferred red meat, so I was usually the loser.
It also meant I got labelled as fussy, wheras it turns out just had different tastes - my sister is actually the fussy one, possibly because she was always served things she liked and never had to challenge her preferences at all. Once we were adults it became clear that I only have a couple of things I won't eat and constantly try new things, whereas my sister had a massive list of things she avoids (including anything new!)
