Skids ask me all day what we are having for dinner starting while I'm making breakfast. EVEN after I answer them, them will ask again 20minutes later. Everytime I cook, SS8 will say he's hungry. Um, you can see I'm cooking right. Food on the stove? I don't get it either. It's not like they have ever missed a meal.

My DH does this! It drives me nuts! I'm like "Can we just enjoy the meal we're eating now before we start planning the next one?" Jeez.

My son did this, but not food, experiences...If we were at an amusement park, he would ask what was next. Has always done it. Now at 19, I am used to it, drives everyone else nuts, but I think his mind works faster than others.

I did this a little to my Mom about dinners only, and I am not a child of divorce. I just REALLY REALLY like food and my Mom is an awesome cook, and I enjoyed thinking about the awesome meal that was ahead of me.

But asking about Breakfast is a little odd.

I get the same question often. Answer is always the same: Fried snot, baked boogers and boiled cabbage. Does your skid have access to healthy and tasty meals when not with you? I wonder if it's a valid concern they have about what, if anything, will be next. And it could come across as a bit mean if you don't reply to them at all if they ask. Call a quick family meeting and let the entire family know that meals are always prepared and served and not to worry about it as you will provide. If they continue to ask at the table, tell them you're already addressed their concerns about future meals in the family meeting. If you'd like to know what we're having, please come into the kitchen to ask when it's cooking. One day at a time.

pickled pigs feet. that's what we are having.
}:) that's actually dh's go-to answer!

we usually make a joke about it instead of getting too worked up. i've learned that's a fairly standard kid question, so u've got a long road ahead of you...

if they pester you about it after cracking a joke, just repeat your answer every time until they go "aaarrggg, nevermind." you gotta be more stubborn about it then they are

LOL!! My boys used to do this to me all the time too.. note "used"! I'd tell them "hot shit on toast" or "wind pie" or some other stupid remark. They got the hint eventually and stopped asking.. maybe you could try it on your skid }:)

I just say, poison. His kids will always ask what I'm making or 'what's in this' with their faces all crinkled up in disgust. My response is always, poison. My son laughs but I know the bf doesn't like it when I answer this way. But I think a lil more respect should be taught by their father so why should I change my answer?! Picky eaters, they try to be but I'm a good cook so I know it'll be edible.
Poison, is my answer. lol

I don't cook for the skids. The ONLY time I am part of meal preparation for skids is when DH and I make a dinner for all of us TOGETHER. But COOK for the skids? Buy them donuts?? I'll cook for my flying monkeys first.

I would say,"All depends on what you plan on making." Conversation over
