But I would probably not cook a totally different meal every night but offer an alternative such as peanut butter sandwich or pasta that didn't require cooking or what the adults are having maybe without a fancy sauce. That being said, I do think it is important to try to get kids to eat as nutritionally sound as possible and that means the adults setting a good example and trying to have the kid eat at least one vegetable with every meal. But in gaobest's house, it seems that all three of them are eating totally different meals so no biggie I guess.
Is anyone using the shakes?
I find cooking three meals for three different household members ridiculous, but I'm not doing it, and stopped cooking Thanksgiving dinner for family because of the demands of cooking additional menu items for one or two people.

There's a difference between not leaving a child unattended by the stove and doing the cooking yourself.
