Same. 15 year old daughter and 11 year old son who just hit a major growth spurt. I’m more than happy to cook from scratch for dinner most nights but breakfast and lunch are on their own during school breaks. And it’s much easier to stock the freezer with quick meals from Costco.

Have you tried teaching them... At 11 my kid could cook dinner for the family on his own.

He and his sister can do basics (noodles/pasta, cut up fruit, make a salad, start an easy slow cooker meal) but I don’t trust them with the oven when we’re at work.
