Letting my kids cook?

Question:

I got burned badly as a child, I was 9 years old, I was reaching over to turn the grill off and my dress caught fire. I am going to psychology and after talking about it my burn is really sore. I am now 43 so I do know it is psychological. I also never eat anything I cook as I get so anxious I can't face it.
I find it hard to let my kids cook and the psycholgist feels this is wrong. My kids are 12 and 18 years old. What I want to know is if others feel I am being unfair to my kids by not letting them cook?

Answers:
hi there, no you are not being unfair, you are just being overprotective, let them cook, if it makes you feel better tell them to use the back rings on the cooker, that way if they do lean forward as you did, the front rings are not hot. i can understand why you are so protective around the children with this being a bad experience with yourself, but do let them cook with your supervision until you feel better letting them cook by themselves.
i hope this helps

I learned how to cook things by 12 already. When your 18 year old moves out, she/he will need to cook for him/herself. It's easier to learn in a supportive environment like the home.
