[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 step up and do other chores around the house. Load the dishwasher, take out the trash, sweep, whatever.

Is there anything that your teen wants? Something that you can facilitate? I would use a reward system to get her to take responsibility for herself, though this is tricky because some kids love being babied and really resist doing anything for themselves. It sounds like your DD is like this. [/quote]
