My biggest challenge right now is recovering from Covid and a husband who believes that the tomato sauce in spaghetti sauce or on top of pizza counts as enough veg. He's doing most of the cooking for dinners lately so I'm doing my best to ensure breakfast and lunch are packed full and then will add a salad or cut up veggies for my dinner as a "hint hint" to him about the veggies. ;)

It is VERY frustrating though because I've been working on him for YEARS!!!! Eva (my 15 year old) has learned and will plate half veggies leaving next to none for her dad. When he does cook veggies we have to steam up extra because he thinks a serving is what "he" would eat. Since I haven't been feeling well (no energy) I have just tried to be grateful for the meal he's prepared and too lazy to make anything additional. And if I'm brutally honest - it feels like a good excuse right now to just eat poorly for a little while.

Who else struggles when spouses or other members in their family that will take lead on meals? Any tips???
