[quote=Anonymous]My 13yo makes her own breakfast and lunch (has for several years), and since she’s been doing DL at home this fall, has been cooking dinner for the whole family 2 or 3 nights a week. Your wife is definitely coddling your daughter. That’s her prerogative, but you don’t have to actively join in. If your wife genuinely enjoyed cooking for her child and felt it was an important part of her nurturing relationship, etc etc etc, that’s one thing. But she clearly doesn’t enjoy it much if she’s complaining about you not doing your part. But you might start gently involving your daughter in the times you do cook things she likes, without framing it as punishment or a negative thing. Start making food a shared, positive experience rather than a point of contention. [/quote]
