Cooking...

I know, I know. You all are probably thinking to yourself, cooking, really. But yes, as you following me you will see that I will tend to write about something that has occurred in my life. So yes, cooking. Ok so my oldest son, who just turned 12, has decided that he wants to cook. My first thought was ahhhh, no. LOL. You’re probably thinking, why not?

I want to give a little back story on why I automatically said no. I am the third oldest child and oldest girl out of 7 kids born to a single mom. At the age of 8 I had to cook food for myself and my younger sister (at that time she was only one younger than me). My mom was always gone and I had no choice. I swear if you were to ask anyone that knew me when I was younger, I always said the same thing, when I get older I’m eating out all the time and when I have kids they are going to be stuck with can food and noodles. (don’t worry I can and actually do cook real food). LOL. I don’t know if starting out so young it what made me hate cooking or not but that’s my story and I'm sticking with it. Anyway, I’ve always thought that cooking is too much of a responsibility for a kid and it's just one step to rushing them into growing up. But is my son to young? I mean 12 is better than 8 right?

So my question today is 12 to young for cooking?

To young for.....

As a mom of 4 boys, my main concern is what are they to young for. In today's society, our children are growing up faster and its harder to limit what they see, do and know. As a parent I try and hope to succeed in keeping my child a child as long as possible. I hope that with this blog I can help you and you can help me to discover and think about, what are our kids to young for.
