I have 3 DSs aged 21, 19 and 15. DS21 has just gone back to college having been unable to find a job that suits (he has ADD and is a little Autistic - if I can say that?); DS19 is between jobs + due to start new one as a warehouse operative next week (48hrs pw of hard physical labour); DS15 is in his GCSE year and a keen athlete.
Trouble is that I have lost the will to cook for them any more. We buy what seems to me sensible food - burgers, chicken, steaks, but if I ask what they want they don't know or say they aren't hungry. Then DS15 will come down saying he's starving + cooks pasta or bacon butties for himself at 9 o'clock with school in the morning. He'll come in from training when he really ought to eat + won't decide on anything until far too late to cook/eat anything nutritious.
DH is the same and will decide he wants food at 10 having eaten biscuits all evening.
I now eat when I'm hungry and don't bother cooking.
Am I doing anything wrong + should I do something to change meal times?
