[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,
Thank you for the responses. It's good to hear and and think about. I guess I should have wrote a little more. First, before I was able to ask her what she wanted from somewhere else,( even if it was fastfood,) thats when she said that. Also, one of the main reasons we didnt text her to find out what she wants was because she hates the food from this particular place. Never wants anything from there, which is fine.
We have an abundance of food in our house, but she doesnt like to make anything for herself. Which Ive asked her if we could cook some easy meals together so she would know how.
She won't really eat leftovers, but quick little meals is what we always have in the pantry or fridge.
I have communicated to both kids that we won't be able to always bring carryout out for them, especially if we ask them to go and they just want to stay home on their phones. Thought this could encourage a little family time.
I just thought it was a little rude and sometimes I don't know anymore[/quote]

I was on your side before your additional explanation. Now I am even MORE on your side. It's on her if she refuses to learn how to prepare food for herself or too lazy to bother. I have an 18 year old with that same attitude. My 16 year old will make herself mac n cheese, or rice and kielbasa, or a grilled cheese or something. She's very very picky with a very limited palette; so, yeah, this horrible parent gave up on providing 3 full meals for every member of the family a long time ago. Glad this discussion didn't come up when my kids were in middle school because folks would be calling protective services on me for having them pack their own school lunches.

For those so concerned about a positive family relationship, taking the pressure away from just me to make everybody happy for 21 meals a week was a big step in that direction.  If mama ain't happy.....[/quote]
