What food can you only eat when the kids are out?

Today I am having fried mushrooms on toast because DD wanted a 2nd pancake for breakfast (usually I have it), they are complaining about the smell. Usually I have to wait until they’ve gone to school. Just wondering if anyone else has the same…..?

Why do you have to wait?

My DS hates the smell and complains, loudly

@Carrotpuree Agree with pp, if they don’t like the smell, they can go up to their room. It’s my house, I pay for the food. I can eat what I want.

My kids have decided not to eat treif - we don’t keep kosher at all but they have decided not to eat pork/shellfish etc.
So I tend not to eat that in front of them. It makes me feel guilty and like I should be doing the same!
Both were out last night and I had a delicious chorizo and prawn salad!

Too bad. They can take themselves elsewhere.

I'm autistic and I absolutely detested the smell of garlic as a child(I adore garlic now) but even then it never occurred to me to tell my family not to eat garlic bread. I just sat elsewhere while they did.

Absolutely nothing - any complaints about smell would be ignored otherwise where does it stop! Dc have to learn to live with minor things like this or adulthood will be hard!

My DS has sensory issues, I can bend a little to support them. I
just thought it would be an entertaining question to ask.

I thought you were talking about food they would want - the best crisps and biscuits! Mine object to marmite 🤷‍♀️

The good biscuits and crisps
