Many times despite working full time. Best cure for grumpy kids is to help Mom bake something fun. (helped when Mom was grumpy too) Many of my kids' friends and their parents are lost in the kitchen while mine are totally comfortable following recipes and/or making meals and grocery shopping. My kids are health conscience and are choosing foods and meals that are better for them. I also taught them the economics (your time vs cost) of making from scratch, buying a package, ready-made or eating out. These are life skills.
