I have to watch them since the other adults in the house prefer to
see their grandchildren and their dog, not really
take care or
entertain of them, so that becomes my responsibility.
The 11-year-old apparently got braces this week or next, so I'm glad she is the lover of rice and dry cereal. The six-year-old boy is the problem as it seems he is just PBJ, apples, and tacos, which he did say I made better than his parents. I think it is because the beef was properly seasoned and not a sodium bomb taco packet. He cried three weeks ago at Sunday dinner as he "missed his teacher" when having lasagna. Days later he wanted to go back to pre-school because of said teacher.
Those kids also don't like lasagna, just spaghetti, and meatballs or frozen/Little Caesars pizza which my brother and sis-in-law buy on Fridays. I also had to buy the candy for their Easter baskets because I knew my parents really don't look at calendars anymore. It has been going fast, so I may have to restock.
