To let my sons cook for themselves tonight...

[lilybetsy]

They are almost 18, 14 and 11. There is plenty of food in the fridge. I'm knackered and not hungry. It's fine isn't it....

Of course!

Why wouldn’t you? The 2 older ones should be able to cook some meals and the 11 year old can help.

yeah. one is the same age as a lot of people living alone in uni halls making their own food everyday, If he cannot cook for himself yet I would be a bit worried personally.

Good. I think it's important for them to be able to cook for themselves too, but to be honest, tonight I just can't be arsed ! ...

Why not? The two older ones should be cooking once each at least a week. They don't want to? Such a shame there is no cooking fairy then. Here it's agreed a week in advance who is cooking, and they need to decide what based mainly on goods already available.
