Why the frick do I bother cooking homemade food...

...when it is now sitting on their plates going cold because they won't eat it. I guarantee if I'd served up fishfingers or pizza they would have wolfed it down.

I hear ya sista!

same here

sometimes I wonder why I bother putting it on a plate when I could just cook it and throw it straight in the dustbin....

Lol - I could have written the OP.

Know the feeling well - sometimes I could smack the smug cookery book writers over the head with their smug books, and then punish them more by making them spend a week with ds1 at mealtimes. The other day I bought shreddies instead of cheerios to give myself something different to sweep off the floor......
