ladybugvv,
I just wanted to say that I understand where you are coming from - People are much too quick to judge when you give your child a pancake or waffle . Telling you "let him make it himself", may not be the best answer. The fact is that he is only 14 and you ARE his mother and there is a mothering instict (I believe) to make & provide food for your child. And in this life we get busy with work, appointments, errands etc and if your a single parent your doing it yourself - so I can't blame you for wanting to take the time to make your son breakfast on the weekends! I am sorry that he's not very receptive to the low carb life. But perhaps you could sit with him and explain to him why it is important for you to eat this way. Maybe by understanding the benefits it's having on your life, he'll be more open to the idea. That way you haven't addressed it as his problem but rather your problem, then he won't feel under attack. I'm hoping for a good outcome for you & your son.
Saturn
