If you're a single parent, it can be a challenge, to say the least, to get anything done in the kitchen. When you have a bunch of kids hopped up on sugar who are running about, things can be trying. Whatever time of the day it may be, there's probably a reason why your kids can't quiet down. So how are you supposed to manage to throw a meal together when you're being pulled in five different directions at the same time? Well, have you considered that involving them could actually be a possibility? That's right, cooking with kids can actually bring a bit of sanity to the proceedings. It can actually teach your kids a thing or two about what it is that you do for them.
Of course, you won't be able to get your kids to bend to your will and put out a perfectly edible meal the first couple of hundred times. It may take a few tries, and you may end up having to throw away a few meals. You'll probably be on your hands and knees rubbing difficult stains off the floor for more hours than you can would care to keep track of. But your diamonds in the rough will soon learn how it's done. Cooking with kids can be fun. Eventually.
Kitchen designers usually tend to discriminate against the needs of parents cooking with kids. It's up to you to do something to let them actually reach anything. A stepstool or a small step ladder that's really stable can be just the thing.
