[quote=Anonymous]The issue is not her cooking skills.  The issue is that her dad is a d@ck.  
Most of us with teens, especially teen athletes, make arrangements to cook for their needs, not for our middle aged needs.  So for instance I’ll make a pasta dish with meat and veg and the teens get more meat and pasta and I’ll get more veg.  But I’m not going to put a plate of roasted veg and fish in front of teen athletes and pretend that’s a complete meal for them.  And some people just don’t like fish.  It’s rude, bordering on emotionally abusive, to repeatedly cook fish for a teen that you know hates fish.  Yes, she can make a sandwich but what does it say about him and his feelings for her that this is his approach?  She’s a very busy teen athlete who probably doesn’t get enough sleep and probably doesn’t have enough time to do her homework and whose parents just got a divorce and she’s probably a little upset about that, and this is what the dad does to make her life easier?  
I am team mom here because dad is going out of his way to be a d@ck or is so self-centered that he can’t even see that maybe he should be thinking more about how to make her life a little easier at this stressful moment in her life.
