Okay so this isn't exactly a DIY project but heard some people talking about elaborate cooking plans on here. Tbh? Costco pizza, some sides from home, backyard picnic, zero stress. Kids don't care.
Weekend saved. You're welcome lol
Costco pizza slaps and honestly more dads need to hear this. The pressure to make elaborate meals on weekends is so dumb. Kids are happy, you're not exhausted, everyone wins.
Costco pizza is the secret weapon. It's good, it's cheap, kids genuinely love it, zero effort. This is actual wisdom not just a "hack"
This is the energy all parenting should have. Not every moment needs to be optimized or Pinterest-worthy. Pizza night works and everyone's happy.
The anti-fuss weekend dinner actually does hit different though. Less stress cooking = more presence with kids = better weekend. You're onto something here.
real talk this is the most valuable post on this entire forum lol. Saved me during a particularly chaotic week. Pizza, some fruit, backyard time, done. Why are we all out here trying to be Gordon Ramsay on saturdays

People on here really do get wound up about weekend meals when their kids would be just as happy with pizza and chips lol. Your take is correct.
The backyard picnic part is the key though. Same meal but outside = feels special without doing anything. Kids don't care about the food as much as the vibe.
