what should I cook

My family literally lives off instant noodles and i’m so donee with it. Ive been trying for the past few months to start cooking real food and they all whine and my nan gives them noodles instead bc she hates listening to the whining.

My nan is out tonight so i am going to make something else but I need to make something easy that they might actually eat

We ate whatever mom or grandma cooked unless it made you sick (i had food allergies) or we didn't eat

@pdockal tried that and they just dont eat or they help themselves to something else

@hannahJ

If they're helping themselves then stop cooking for them and cook what you want

@pdockal i’m going to stop buying the crap they help themselves to and tell my nan to stop. I can’t not cook for them especially the youngest ones. I really want to instil healthier habits than my mum has given them

@hannahJ

Are the young ones helping themselves ?????

hannahJ · F

@pdockal Yeah. They wouldnt eat what I made so i said no dinner then. While later 7 and 9 year old were eating tortilla chips in bed

@hannahJ

They don't respect boundaries
That would never happen in my home
Especially food in bed (unless sick)

@pdockal I know. Trying to change it but its hard when i have someone actively working to undermine me

@hannahJ
