Looking out so that your kitchen is not turned upside down?

Actually, they aren't doing too badly. A bit messy, but they do clear up as they go, and I'm sure they will clear up properly when they are done. The floor needs some cleaning, but I think a wet wipe will be fine. The cinnamon rolls are done and they look good! Now they are doing the usual teenage thing - taking photos!

Actually, I'm working hard! I was given a freelance project to do which is taking longer than I expected, and I need to finish it in 2 weeks as I have another one waiting. I am happy to have people wanting me to work, and since I'm just re-starting my freelance work, I don't want to say \"no\" yet. But it's making me feel a bit of pressure!

Pressure produces result
When the task is completed, the ME time is real sweet

so nice of you slmkhoo to invite the girls to use your kitchen. me scolded dd last weekend when she tried to help me with the banana pancake mixture..bad me, feel bad after cooled down. she just wanted to help me. I was in kitchen trying to rush for the breakfast and upon realising dd inside the room trying to use my laptop and printer..so rushed in to help her and she fast hand fast leg went into the kitchen and did the mixture.by the time I went in, she told me just need to crack an egg into the batter.

I'm not that nice - I didn't \"invite\" them, just \"allowed\" them! And one was a guy. My daughter was going to bake anyway, so when she said she'd like to invite a couple of friends, I said \"ok\". But they are already in JC2, so it's not the same as having a bunch of Pr school kids doing stuff in the kitchen. At that age, the most I would have allowed was probably decorating cookies! They weren't as efficient or as neat as I would have been, but they have to start somewhere. They certainly generated a lot more washing up that I would have, but they did all the clean-up themselves. They will learn!

It's good to allow your own kids to help in the kitchen - where else will they learn? My older girl has no interest and I have had to insist that she learn some basics. My younger one is more interested and I can see that she has picked up a few skills along the way at home and in school. She's not very proficient, but has enough basics to survive and improve when the need arises.

my daughter does a great job with the air fryer...but not cooking raw food though. son changes water twice when he cooks instant noodles. good for this lazy mum :evil:
