Kitchen

[Puppy Lips]

I only have boys as well as the OP.  But I am a daughter, and I can tell  you that I cook just barely better than my mother.  She HATED to cook and was helpless in the kitchen.  I don't think her mother let her do anything when she was growing up.  When she was older, she told me that cooking made her feel like a servant/slave.  My family ate out quite often, and by the time I was in High School (I am the youngest) we were eating out almost every night.  They continued to eat out every night for the rest of their lives.  My Dad would have loved a home cooked meal once in awhile, but my Mom did not want anyone messing up her kitchen, because she would then have to clean it up.  I could have put my kids through college with what they spent in restaurants.  Now I do better than that, but I really don't enjoy cooking and can only make a few things with confidence.  But all three of my boys do quite well with cooking, so that is a good thing.

@ECBG  I love to cook! My DD is a good cook, but she doesn't like to cook. She cooks because she has to. I don't blame her, because her hubs is a PICK! It has to be lean with no mayo, no mustard, no ranch, etc. Hates condiments. Two of her kids are good about eating anything, but one is also a pick. My DIL likes to cook slightly more than my DD, but with 5 children between 4 and 14, she has to concentrate on quantity. My youngest son recently bought his own place and is now cooking everything he eats in order to make sure it's healthy for him. He asks me a lot of questions... @RespectLife  I here you about the holiday meals. Sure would like to pass that torch!

My oldest DD lives on her own.  She cooks for herself almost everyday but nothing she learned from me.  I cooked while she was growing up and I am a good cook but she was never interested in learning from me.  Youngest DD still lives at home and loves to cook.  Again nothing she learned from me.  She likes trying her own recipes.

My daughter bakes more than I ever did but she does cook, no kids so cooking is not a major thing.  I always said that I did not cookl until I got married and had a family of our own, you can't go out every night I had to learn how to provide. My DIL does not cook a!ot only because my son is stay at home caregiver working from home.
