"Soup on the stove, cutlets in the fridge!"- Family members often hear instructions from their mothers when they are going to step outside the threshold of their home. When we are going to leave for a short time, we tend to organize a culinary marathon. But in advance to provide their home, the first, second and compote is not always possible. Suddenly called to work, extended a business trip ... Yes, even if a free window at the hairdresser appeared! The reasons may be different, but as they say, the war is war, and lunch - according to the schedule. Then a heavy burden of feeding falls on the courageous shoulders of a mustached nanny. And what do they do?Photo: GettyImages

Not all the food that is in the fridge

Anechka was three years old when her mother –a housewife with a lot of experience – had to unexpectedly leave home for the whole day. It was a matter of female honor to save a friend from depression after a divorce. Father Arthur, who disappeared at work for days, was left alone with his daughter. The last time, when the father played the role of a nanny for the first time, the girl was barely six months old. The baby was fed with a mixture that the parent mixed according to the instructions. But now, hearing “Daddy, eat!”, Arthur rushed to the refrigerator. Unloading a bunch of containers, pots, jars and frying pans on the table, the parent asked: “Would you like borscht? And mashed potatoes with chicken? Maybe sausages?” They agreed on the first. They heated it up, seasoned it with sour cream. “Eat,” the father handed Anna a sandwich with pate. The girl ate with appetite. And she gobbled up the borscht. In the evening, the mother returned home. “Where did my face mask go?” – asked Marina, looking at the half-empty can of “pate”. It turns out that the product was prepared by a cosmetologist and told to keep it in the refrigerator – the mask was based on potatoes. Nothing serious, it seems, but the parents were still worried – what if they poisoned the child? Everything turned out well. But now they don’t keep anything in the refrigerator except food.

The first, the second and compote

When Olga and Konstantin had Ksyusha,the head of the family proved himself to be a very responsible parent. The wife recalls how, as soon as their daughter was brought home from the hospital, the newly-minted dad sat down solemnly by the sleeping baby's crib. When his wife asked him what he was doing, the man answered in surprise: "What do you mean? I'm going to be on duty. You can't take your eyes off her at night." Konstantin's responsible approach to parental responsibilities has not disappeared even after many years. Therefore, when Olga needed to leave for a few days on business, she left her 10-year-old daughter with her dad with peace of mind. The mother had no doubt that her husband would cope. She turned out to be absolutely right. "Of course, I prepared food in advance. But you can't cook for the whole time, you need something fresh. So Kostya stood at the stove. He cooked soups, made cutlets, cut up salads... Ksyusha was fed according to all the rules: first course, second course and compote," Olga said.Photo: GettyImages

Diet of dreams

Nikolai often stayed with his daughter whenMom was away for work. On such days, one of the grandmothers would come to help the young dad. They fed the child according to science, except for the BZHU and calorie content. But one day, Miroslava's father had to stay alone with his daughter for ten whole hours... A disheveled, but incredibly happy child met his mother at the door. The little girl's face was smeared with chocolate. The remains of Kinder eggs were scattered everywhere: judging by the number of candy wrappers, there were at least ten of them. Plates were lined up on the table: with soup, with pasta and sausage, with a cutlet, with salad... "She didn't eat anything," dad Kolya began to justify himself in response to the silent question in his wife's eyes. It turned out that all attempts to feed the child "normal" food had failed. Then dad and daughter went to the store. The girl happily gobbled up the Kinder egg and ice cream that he had bought for her. And she realized that dad can be twisted around her finger. During the day of Peace, she took her parent shopping seven times, and each time the basket contained chocolate eggs, marmalade, lollipops, and ice cream. “Mommy, can I stay with daddy tomorrow too?” the sly girl muttered as she went to bed. I wonder if Mom agreed.

About - Responsibility

At work, Yana occupies a rather serious andresponsible position. Even while on maternity leave, the young mother had to run into the office, so tiny Valeria was accustomed to her father's company from the cradle. But Lera stayed with her father for a long time for the first time when she was already seven years old. "My daughter is allergic to some foods, so Stepan understands the degree of responsibility and will never give the child a forbidden treat, no matter how much she asks," said Yana. The parent carefully studied his daughter's permitted diet and put on an apron. Soup with vegetable broth, beef with mashed potatoes as a side dish, a vitamin salad ... Stepan turned out to be an excellent cook. The daughter was delighted, and so was her mother. It seems that Stepan will now have to stand at the stove more often.Photo: GettyImages

Wolves are full. And sheep?

Leave your men, husband Sergei andFive-year-old Vanyushka, Arina had to suddenly. Her mother fell seriously ill, they had to go, and the journey was not short - several hundred kilometers. No matter how you look at it, it would take several days. The supplies of prepared food were enough for a couple of days. And they needed to somehow live for two more days until mom returned. The dinner issue was solved simply - they ordered pizza. But you can't live on fast food for two whole days! Mom will find out - she will kill ... The men went to the store for provisions. They brought several heavy bags. They started cooking. The men's menu included navy-style macaroni, chicken noodles and charlotte. All the dishes were a success. The wolves are full. But ... Having returned home, the hostess froze on the threshold. The place where the kitchen used to be turned into a massacre - there is no other way to describe it. Dirty plates, pots, spoons, frying pans are everywhere ... The stove is covered in burnt sauce. There are even some suspicious pieces on the walls! "Mommy has arrived!" Vanechka rushed to greet her. "And we left you some pie."

Forgot…

Veronica planned to celebrate her 30th birthday within a big way. The young mother was planning to spend the whole day before the celebration in a beauty salon so that by the evening she would shine, knocking the guests off their feet. At 11 am, the birthday girl kissed one-year-old Saveliy on the cheek, left his dad with some last words of advice and drove off to the salon. A wonderful day awaited her – a haircut, coloring, manicure, pedicure… Around five in the evening, her mobile rang. “Nika, are you coming soon? He’s been screaming for two hours, I don’t know what to do,” – panic was clearly heard in her husband’s voice. “Have you fed him? What did he eat?” – Nika was already calculating the options on how to quickly finish everything and rush home to save the family. But an awkward pause hung in the phone. “You had to feed him, right?” – the father himself realized how stupid his question sounded. But he really had completely forgotten to feed his son. It hadn’t even occurred to him.
