[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this kid were living in a 2-parent household with other siblings and did not like the family meal that was prepared for everyone and was told to find something else to eat, that would make sense.

It sounds like this is one kid, going to spend time with dad half of the time, so there are two people in the house for dinner. And he routinely makes food she will not eat and then tells her to go make a sandwich. He has to prepare the meal that HE wants, regardless of whether the kid is going to have to go make a sandwich? So he's eating alone and then she's eating alone? This is such a bizarre way to treat your child during your custodial time.

I'm a single mom with one teen DD at home. When she's with me, we have dinners that we both like and we sit down and eat together. It's not hard. I can get my favorite sushi (which she doesn't like) when she's with her dad. [/quote]
Men typically don't care about their kid's needs or wants.  To them, parenting is just bare minimum effort.  As long as the kid gets fed (there's food in the house, she just chooses not to eat it) and clothed and housed,  that's the extent of their parenting.  They don't care if the food caters to them, or that the house is clean, or that the clothing is clean, or fits properly or is appropriate for the season.

FWIW, we cook fish at least once per week. We try to change up the protein.  As a matter of fact, we are having fish tonight.  17 yr old DD doesn't really like this fish but she'll eat it because that's how we raised her - to eat what you are given.  [/quote]

That first bit is such awful bullsh*t. How can you come to this site with such garbage?[/quote]
I don't think it is.  Look at posts on this forum, and other parenting/relationship forums, and you'll see this exact thing.[/quote]
