LOLWAT.

As in you made a cake?












what

Hell no, I didnt bake a cake! I dont have to cook. I usually just have someone do it for me. Matter of fact, Im going to see if the Nan is done cooking now.

ok i think what people are trying to ask is did you bake a cake? or your child.

Second...you cant even cook for your own child?

I can cook, but Im lucky I dont have to. I taught my nine year old to make simple dishes for himself. I stopped cooking when I went back to work. Its so much more convenient to be able to come home and play with my kids, do homework, and not have to worry about anything else but laundry and cleaning.

Do you work like...24/7 or something? When my mom went back to work she still cooked our family a meal so we could all be together.
A parent shouldn't use work as an excuse all the time.

Also...if you went back to work then how are you finding time here? Also you must not be playing with them too often if your on here.

Im a Realtor. I am on doing some work (I have to book a flight and hotel). My kids are done with homework, and they are eating. I will get off and give baths, and they will have their normal book reading, and off to bed. After that, I will get back on finish my work, and play around on the internet some more. I work from 7-3. I take my kids to school and pick them up. I have 4 kids. My oldest daughter has recitals, and my sons have sports. Im entitled to "me" time.
My husband is military, so my kids are used to not seeing him much, and so am I, (hence the divorce underway). I make sure my kids have quality time with me as much as possible. If that means I have to hire someone to do some things for me, I will. Laundry and cleaning is done at night after they are in bed.
Im not excusing anything. I just dont have the time, and dont want to cook. Especially with our busy schedule.
Im going to end it at that because now, we are WAY off topic.



Sorry CB posters. The fact that I made my baby was true, but it was a joke. It wasnt supposed to turn into what it is. Im not going to beat it anymore. Its dead.

in a way it kinda proves a point of mine.
You do indeed have a busy schedule and have 4 kids. I really dont get why you are on a place like cB then...

Honestly, why does it matter if she doesn't cook or doesn't like to cook? Of all the things that make a mother a good mother, cooking doesn't top the list. Sure, this probably wasn't the best place for her to bring up the fact that her child's birthday is rounding the corner, but I highly doubt she brought it up so that you could try to make her feel guilty about something that no one cares about (her cooking, not her children). I'm sure you'd rather have your mom pick you up from school and go to your recitals than be at home cooking.

i just think it helps with family get-togtheryness?

Just made some double chocolate chip cookies with pecans in them
