Last night marked the first night of my boys making a whole dinner for the family. My two boys are 9 yrs. old and almost 11 years old. We recently implemented that they get one night a week to work together and make the whole meal by themselves. It's actually become a neat, new thing for them! They get to choose whatever they want to make and have to tell me before I go grocery shopping. In return, we can't complain and we do the dishes. If you saw my kitchen last night, you would know I got the short end of this deal! Why do we do it? It's my attempt to help them learn kitchen/cooking life skills and make my future daughter-in-law happy. Just another way to raise boys into responsible men. Yes ladies, you may want to submit applications on your daughter's behalf now ;) What was on last night's menu? Pancakes, eggs, and turkey bacon...cooked to perfection! Good job boys!
My parents did this with me and my sister, and I am so thankful! When my husband and I got married, everyone ribbed him about those 'first year' dinners when a wife is learning to cook, and he said "Nope. Her meatloaf is what made me decide I had to marry her." So yes, they will make some girls very happy someday! Its totally worth it :)
