This might have to be a weekly event now.
Survival Lunch
Nina thought of a new way to eat lunch. It's called Survival Lunch. Everyone has to get their own food while mom sits there and peacefully surveys the scene. Hmm, I think I like this idea. All worked well for the older kids who are quite self-sufficient. I ended up having to feed the little ones - go figure. All in all, less work for mom, more work for the kids. They all liked eating their choice of food, but they didn't care for washing all of their own dishes :)

When mom is busy at our house -- the kids make their buddy's lunches before they make their own. (we HAD an even 3 big kids and 3 little kids before A came along!) It works fairly well, as long as I remind the big kids to only offer 2 main choices.
ReplyDeleteYes, I took control of the little kids' lunches to prevent totally chaos and pigging out :)

sounds like a great idea. I wonder if it works for husbands also? Mom
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I used to talk about how old the kids needed to be to survive without us. (He's a little morbid!)
ReplyDeleteMom,
ReplyDeleteNo, Dad just wouldn't eat :)

Jen,
ReplyDeleteWell, in Ethiopia it's about 5 years old :( I think it would be a little older here.
