Dinner Time Drama
Surviving the Summer Meal Struggle When Your Kids Think You’re a MasterChef Contestant
It’s summer vacation, which means two things:
Your kids believe food magically appears when summoned.
Idli, dosa, poori, chapathi, and sambar have suddenly become "too boring" for their refined holiday palates.
The Evolution of a Parent’s YouTube Search History:
🔎 "Quick summer recipes" → Hopeful. 🔎 "Easy kid-friendly dinners" → Slight panic. 🔎 "How to make restaurant-style meals at home" → Regret setting food standards too high. 🔎 "Will children eat food if I rebrand it?" → Desperation. 🔎 "How long can humans survive on Maggi alone?" → Acceptance.
Summer break turns your kitchen into a battlefield of rejected meals, endless snack requests, and the constant need to "make something exciting!" They don’t just want food—they want a dining experience.
