We are having pulled pork and rice with vegetables in it.

They liked it two weeks ago, but I wouldn't be confident they'll all like it today Grin

By the time he's 15 the youngest will be 5. If it's still a problem (safety wise, I don't care about mess I can close the door on) then he'll not get money or will lose his mobile). I really am mean... I tend to be quite relaxed about most stuff then immovable on certain things!

Food update.... No-one moaned (although a large amount of ketchup was seen on the DCs plates)Shock
I think it was because DD had just come back from seeing her boyfriend and DS had just been speaking to the girl he likes on the phoneWink

Mine have to keep their room reasonably tidy and put their own washing in the wash etc. They do their own beds etc and have done since about age 10. If room is grim (it would be without my intervention!) they are not allowed friends round or pocket money. I refuse to let them get it in a real tip as it is embarrassing when people come round and can get grim with half eaten food, dirty knickers etc.

GROOVEYCHICK · 15/04/2013 13:46
