it's all in what works for your family

I don't believe that children that have parents that work outside of the house are at a disadvantage... I also don't believe that children that have a parent that stays at home somehow benifit.

I am not a great cook, heck, I'm not even a good cook, but I realized early on that I could bake or saute chicken nugget-like finger food that was much healthier than deep-fried, prepackaged or fast food ones.
We'll make up a batch of the sauteed boneless chicken strips today, because school starts this week and they still like to take them for lunch.
There are no food battles at our table, but you'll only find one meal served. This summer has been great because my oldest son and daughter have planned and cooked most dinners. My son thinks he wants to be a chef when he grows up, and I'm willing to let him practice on us as often as he wants.
My children are 9, 12, and 14, they consult the menu and order for themselves, though dh and I will offer input and ask the waitstaff questions for them. They try everything they order and we often share other dishes ordered. They are not forced to try everything on the menu.
I wish there was an Ethiopian restaurant within a 60 miles of here, I'd love to take the kids to one.
we solve that by simply taking them to restaurants where we KNOW for a fact that they will have something on the menu that the kids will like (no, not necessarily from the kids menu).
Dh and I are generally not adventurous with food -- restaurants would include steak houses, italian, chinese, japanese and seafood.
different strokes.
