[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. She’s a kid so she doesn’t know how to make full meals. 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 kind of parenting is the actual problem. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with making a hot breakfast some mornings but you have created the expectation that you’re running a restaurant and she is not capable. Real life is not like this. A 16 yo is absolutely capable of making all of these things for herself. My son knew how to prepare that entire menu in middle school. He and my other kids were able to make a healthy entree with a veggie by HS. I’m actually a SAHP and I often cook but I felt it was an essential life skill. [/quote]
