Yeddi, sometimes it feels like most parents cook "the evening meal from scratch" - like the SAHM thread i read this afternoon. I can't get her to eat, even if i DO make a meal from scratch, which is extremely rare at the moment anyhoo. So to give her a sandwich (most nights it's supermarket mini quiche, ravioli with pasta sauce from a jar, cold roast chicken with salad), when most mums are giving "meal from scratch" - yes, i am feeling very guilty and wanting. i know about the benefits of making from scratch (to avoid chemical nasties from the supermarket boxes/frozen stuff). i'm so worn down from cooking for her for last three years, and the constant "i don't want that".
