Of course you can. The fool obviously forgot to eat the celery sticks and blue cheese dip.

Problem solved.

Spot on - parents who have failed the primary objective of parenting (raising your children to become productive, self-sufficient adults) lecturing others on how to do it. Riiiiight.

That would make a great commercial. Wish you could send it to them.

You can survive on ramen noodles and iced tea! What’s wrong with chicken wings? No vitamins?

More "nuggets" of wisdom:
"We'll start easy. Here's a box of chicken nuggets, go for it," Zarzour said recalling a classic case of confused cooking. "And of course he's yelling out: 'What's a cookie sheet?' I mean, how did I not remember to teach him what a cookie sheet was?" (!!!) Another exchange she recalled had her son, while following a recipe, asking: "What's a tsps?"
"What do you mean tsps?"
"It's spelled TSP."
"Teaspoon, honey."
When you fail
this badly, you should write a book.

You mean you can't? Sure you can! Just not low carb beer.

Exactly. I’ll betcha these are the same moms who picked their kids up every day at the bus stop three blocks from the house, and who sent them out to ride a training wheel bike after first armoring them in helmet, elbow and knee pads.

I take it none of you have tried to teach a teenage boy how to cook? They won’t listen and think they already know how if they can turn on the stove. My son can cook the basics, tuna, eggs, and spaghetti. Luckily, he lives with two other guys who are good cooks. I’m hoping they will teach him a few things.

A couple down the street from me have a boy who must be at least 16 yo because I have seen him driving with his mom in the car yet he is not allowed to cross the street by himself.

A son with scurvy because he thought he could survive on chicken wings and beer ..... Huh??! If he'd had my chicken wings with kimchi, that never would have happened but someone too dumb to realise that beer is not a vegetable wouldn't understand that. LMAO!
