Accidentally became a short order cook

I made spaghetti for dinner. My older kid wants it with no sauce. Younger one wants only sauce no noodles. My wife wants hers with a ton of garlic. So now I'm standing here making four different pasta dishes and wondering when exactly I agreed to this life.

The no sauce spaghetti kid is just asserting dominance at this point. Mine did the same thing for like six months. Now he eats it normal. Hang in there.

Honestly just serve them the same thing and let them pick it apart. My kids realized real quick that sauce can be spooned off or added. Saves you from going insane.

This is legitimately the dad experience. I've started making two batches now because my older one has decided he only likes buttered noodles. The younger one mixes it all together which somehow makes it worse.

You're not a short order cook, you're a short order Dad now. There's a badge for this and everything. Welcome to the club where nobody orders the same thing twice.
