"Mark, how would you like to order pepperoni pizza for dinner?"
"Ummmm...I think I would like salmon, asparagus and garlic bread."
Uh, yeah. Let me just whip that right up for you, since it's 4:15 and I have none of those ingredients in my house. Instead, we have a refrigerator full of "Dad's at sea" food. Not necessarily unhealthy, but definitely foods of convenience and speed.
So, does it make me a good mother that I've obviously served my child healthy meals and that he requests food other than mac & cheese?
Or does it make me a bad mother that I didn't feed my child the dinner full of vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids and balanced nutrition that he asked for, but instead gave him this...
Or maybe it says more about my child's need to be in control than my mothering. I wonder where he gets that!
Sadly, there's no one here to eat the peppers with Tim at sea...

Hahaha! Good mother. That's HILARIOUS that he wanted the other stuff though!
ReplyDeleteYou know if you would have made Salmon he would have asked for pizza...
ReplyDeleteI don't know where he gets those control tendencies...
ReplyDeleteI love those peppers! But amen on the "at-sea" food dilemna. Cooking real food while hubby is away usually requires a guest or something. Otherwise, there are too many leftovers.
