Shouldn’t a child the age of Douglas

Be able to help in the kitchen even cutting vegetables with a knife? Brooke is sooo wrong


In the kitchen, with a cutting board and a paring knife, sure. Not in the living room, no cutting board, standing up, with a Buck knife. I feel like we could do a Sesame Street learning moment with this scenario.


Really? So, the lack of a cutting board makes it dangerous? I feel like this is a Sesame Street teaching moment that people cut, prepare and eat fruits and vegetables with whatever knife they feel comfortable using and have at the ready, and they actually do it in more rooms than the kitchen. And kids learn and cut and eat right alongside their parents, and no one calls cps because mommy or daddy is using a knife in front of junior.

I have to admit. I never once as a child was allowed to cut fruit or vegetables with a knife, anywhere but in the kitchen, on a cutting board, definitely not while I was holding the fruit in midair with one hand, cutting with the other, while standing in the living room.. And yes, the lack of a cutting board does make it dangerous if you are a little kid. And I cannot imagine letting any child use any knife, they find comfortable. LOL. Should they take dad's vintage Samurai Sword off the wall and use it, if they feel like that is what they want to use? LOL.

And again, yes the lack of a cutting board makes any cutting dangerous. That is one of the things chef's are taught, along with colored coded cutting boards to make sure there is no cross contamination.
