[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my daughter can make herself a sandwich or pour a bowl of cereal, but that's not what I'd consider a proper meal. [b]She’s a kid so she doesn’t know how to make full meals.[/b][i][u] He's the parent and should be taking responsibility for feeding her. When she's with me, I make actual breakfasts—eggs, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, bacon, etc.—not just tell her to fend for herself. My daughter likes hot meals, so I can’t send pre-made meals.

This right here is your problem OP. You have vastly underestimated her capabilities. Children far younger than her are perfectly capable of making a full meal.  If you haven't taught her how to do that yet, that's on you.  How do you think she's going to learn these skills for when seh leaves the house in a few short years?

My son is nearly the same age - he spent a lot of time in COVID taking online cooking classes and watching youtube videos and now he's legitimately a better cook that me.

Kudos to your husband for helping your child grow into a capable adult.[/quote]
