FF, get with the kids and plan the meals for a couple of days. Tell H you are overloaded and if he has amy suggestions for simple meals. Make a meals for everyone, no special meals for the children or H. Stick to it. I would not make food for children or H outside of reg. meal times
If I could be Mrs. FF for a couple of days I would make CHILI CON CARNE, spaghetti, scallop potatoes and ham, or the equivilent Finnish dish. In general something that can be reheated and eaten. That way H can stay in bed and miss out on family time if he chooses.
Special meals, people going to bed and getting up at different times, sounds like you have a mini-hotel going there FF. How many employees does it take to run your enterprise?
Rember, I worked in a group home for 14-19 yr old boys, for 7 years. I was on shift by myself and the home had up to 7 boys (most of them ungreatful lazy asses) at a time. After meal time the chain and lock went on the fridge till it was time to make the next meal. Basicall the same way it was in the US Army. Chow time posted on the outside of the mess hall wall. No exceptions!
To those missing a meal there was this question "Soldier, you got air? The rest can wait."
Sgt. OG Lou. Mess Hall "incharge" 5AM to 8PM FF, you can be more diplomatic than I was. I do not want to make trouble for you. I was only going to be Mrs. FF for 3 or 4 days then bail.
