[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 17, a junior in high school, so very busy. I make her breakfast every morning—sometimes hot, sometimes cold. If it's cold, I still get everything ready for her: toast the bread, spread the butter, pour the cereal, etc. Yes, she's an only child.

For lunch, sometimes she just wants a snack, so I put that together for her. Other days she wants a hot lunch, and I make it and have it ready when she leaves. She eats dinner with the family, and I make sure she's fed every night. I also don't purposely make foods I know she doesn't like.

If she's hungry during the day, I'll get a snack ready for her, and I usually have one waiting when she gets home. I also pack extra things for her when needed. I don't see any problem with this. She's a child, and I'm her mother. Taking care of her doesn't mean she "needs to grow up." She doesn't. And before anyone assumes I'm a SAHM, I'm not—though there's absolutely nothing wrong with being one.

People truly need to stop judging.[/quote]

You seem to have confused "taking care of her" with coddling her absurdly and ensuring she's high maintenance.  This would be absurd even for a SAHM, and no, your daughter isn't so busy she can't do this herself.  Laughable. [/quote]

Nope. I’m not coddling her Oe ensuring she’s “high maintenance”. I’m being a parent to a kid.[/quote]

Seems pretty clear that you don’t understand what your job description entails. [/quote]
