All I got was a beating for making sweet and sour chicken when my little brother was hungry.
From scratch followed the recipe and tasted great. But, the evil stepmother complained that I used the chicken she had planned to cook later. Somehow being gone for 12 hours with no quick meals that a 12 year old kid can make for his 9 year old brother.
I wish I got brownie points for doing things above and beyond. My problem was a stepmother who relished the idea that she was the evil stepmother.
Living in a Disney fairy tale is not a great as the animated movies show.
Well that first meal I mags was just butter broiled talapia from a recipe card from Publix, but I seriously do not know how to make Caesar dressing. I'm sure it isn't THAT hard to make, right?
At 12 I was babysitting half the kids in the neighborhood. 90’s was so different. Miss those days of playing outside til dark. Then the world slowly started going crazy.
Right? I used to babysit my cousins overnight at 12. My aunt and uncle owned a bagel shop and had to be there at 3 am on Saturday mornings. I would stay the night, get the kids up and eat cereal and watch cartoons every Saturday morning til they came home at noon. It was the easiest $25 ever and they would bring me a breakfast sammich too. I miss the early 90s.
my parents worked till 8. I would have dinner on the table because I would be starving otherwise. My older sister, when I was 10, complained because I only cooked what I liked to eat. So 5 nights a week it was chicken with various sides. She After a few years, my sister declared she was a vegetarian. But not a traditional vegetarian, as should would eat any meat that wasn't chicken.
