[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a teenager this is too much.

You need to have a heart to heart with your wife. Say you do not agree with making separate meals for the teen. If wife wants to baby the teen that’s on her. You think it’s bad parenting and you’re not going to enable or participate in this. Say you acknowledge that you can’t stop wife from doing it. [/quote]

I don't have a choice but participate in it. If I don't, it's "I do more work than you (her job requires longer hours), you need to step up and do your fair share."....which I agree with...I just don't think creating more work in the name of spoiling a kid is a good way to do my fair share.[/quote]

Then why not have your teen do chores with you while your wife is working her longer hours? Or you and teen make dinner together so it is ready when your wife is done with work? Of course your teen may hate it, but since you are mad at your wife for not enforcing your ideas on how much work your teen should do, I am sure you are ready to step up and enforce the chores you expect your daughter to do, right? I'm pretty sure that if you start making your teen do the laundry or mow the lawn or what not while your wife is working (not while she is off the clock and relaxing - don't give your daughter the opportunity to guilt her mom) you wife will not object.[/quote]
