I understand your frustration. I have 3 children 14, 12, and 8. I cook separately for myself. I don't mind making them a separate dish, but I don't go crazy. In my opinion, if the 12 year old is going to complain then s/he is old enough to help out with the meal prep.
We do compromise when we go out to eat. Either we go where I can eat or my husband will take the kids to their favorite places. I take advantage of the quiet time and relax at home!
For example, at my house, we share all the side dishes, but they won't eat fish. So, they'll have pasta as their main dish and I eat it in addition to the fish. It's not easy, and you can't make everyone happy, but I'm the one who suffers and they understand that.
