[quote=Anonymous]I agree that the eating dinner together thing is a family expectation. Tell her that you and her dad are setting an expectation that you eat together. I’m assuming there is no eating disorder here. Have the TV off. Talk at dinner about family memories or stories, but none that might embarrass her. You can tell her that you know she is growing up and spreading her wings, and you need this time before she is gone with her. Compliment her when you can, and let her hear you compliment her to others, in as natural a way as you can. If you can eat outside together for dinner, try that. Just take your plates outside. I’m sorry this is hard for you, but you’re still her mom, and be as accepting and open as you can, and hang in there. [/quote]
