This Prompt Saved My Sanity (and Maybe My Marriage)
Because one more “what’s for dinner?” might’ve been my villain origin story
Some days I feel like a pretty good parent.
Other days, my kid eats six mini marshmallows for breakfast while I pretend that counts as "white food group."
This week, I decided to stop Googling “how to parent better” and just asked AI. And honestly? It kinda came through.

🧠 Prompt Story: The Dinner Plan That Stopped the Spiral
So it was Tuesday. Or maybe Wednesday. Honestly, no one knows anymore.
The kids were cranky. My partner asked what we were doing for dinner in the exact tone that makes me want to walk into the sea. We had food in the fridge… but no brain cells to figure out what to do with it.
Instead of crying (again), I opened ChatGPT and typed:
“Make a 5-day dinner plan for a family of 4 using chicken, pasta, tortillas, rice, and frozen veggies. Keep it toddler-friendly and under 30 minutes.”
In 10 seconds, I had a plan. Not a gourmet plan, but a nobody cries and everyone eats plan. Which honestly? Is the dream.
