[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say, I think she has a point. As a SAHM, it is your job to be on top of ensuring sports clothes are clean, meal prep and tidying etc.[/quote]

As a parent, whether WOHM or SAHM, it's also part of her job to raise her kids to be respectful, self sufficient (age appropriate), of good moral character, which OP appears to be trying to do.  OP admitted she forgot about the back to back games (face it, we all forget something), but having a kid take her plate to the kitchen or dishwasher is not out of the norm, even for a kid of a sahm.  We have taught our kids to do this since they were 5, including making their own beds, and I have been all 3: wohm, sahm and wahm.   They also have other chores (kids are 10 and 7).

Also, at 13, the kid is old enough to keep her own schedule and make sure she has what she needs for the next day.  She could've reminded her mom, and sure, nothing wrong with sahm washing the clothes. But, at 13, she can still do things for herself and manage her own things.  SAHM doesn't mean doing *everything* for a teenager. That would be called babying your teen, and probably turning them into helpless, spoiled brats, which sounds like OP is trying hard not to do.[/quote]
