Momservation: <\/strong>Sometimes it\u2019s a shame kids need to be fed regularly.<\/p>\n

\u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s summer. It\u2019s a good thing you\u2019re taking the kids to a pool with a lifeguard because the only thing that has your attention is The Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy<\/a>. Finding out what Anastasia and Christian are going to try next just seems so much more important than feeding your family.<\/p>\n

What better time to teach your children independence and foraging skills than now? So here\u2019s a helpful guide to help you achieve this goal:<\/p>\n

A Dozen Ways to Put Off Making Dinner<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Have the kids invite themselves to someone else\u2019s house for dinner.<\/li>\n
  2. Say it\u2019s Live Like a European Day where lunch is considered the main meal of the day.<\/li>\n
  3. Fiesta Night \u2013 Leftover Taco Bell mild and hot sauce packets with Doritos!<\/li>\n
  4. Frozen Surprise Night \u2013 pick an unlabeled, unidentifiable frozen foil brick or iced-over Tupperware to pop in microwave and see what you get!<\/li>\n
  5. Gift Card Night with Daddy \u2013 make a meal and an adventure of clearing the balance on those Subway, Baskin Robbins, Chipotle, Jamba Juice and Baja Fresh cards!<\/li>\n
  6. Mini Pizza Night \u2013 Saltines, left over ketchup and parmesan cheese packets = yummy fun!<\/li>\n
  7. Otter Pop Night \u2013 no limit Otter Pops!<\/li>\n
  8. Continental Breakfast for dinner \u2013 a fancy way of saying cereal and toast!<\/li>\n
  9. Clean Out the Fridge Night \u2013 how hungry are you?!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    10. Double Dog Dare You Night (also known as Fear Factor Night) \u2013 throw it all in the blender and see who has the guts to eat it.<\/p>\n

    11. Convince the kids they already ate by continuing to say, \u201cDidn\u2019t we already eat? I\u2019m pretty sure we already ate.\u201d<\/p>\n

    12. The Crowd Pleaser \u2013 Pizza Night\u2026again!<\/p>\n

    Make sure to use exclamation points to sell it \u2013 it\u2019s all in the delivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
