[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my daughter can make herself a sandwich or pour a bowl of cereal, but that's not what I'd consider a proper meal. She’s a kid so she doesn’t know how to make full meals. He's the parent and should be taking responsibility for feeding her. When she's with me, I make actual breakfasts—eggs, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, bacon, etc.—not just tell her to fend for herself. My daughter likes hot meals, so I can’t send pre-made meals.

Eggs, pancakes, etc. should be easy things for her to learn how to make herself. [/quote]
Yes, my 16 yr old can make pancakes from scratch, but the thing is, it's time consuming.  So, she only makes it on the weekends when she has nothing going on.

I don't know what time school is for OP's DD, but my  DD had to be at the stop by 7:10am.  She's not going to wake up earlier to make pancakes.

Scrambled eggs, however, are quick.  Add a piece of toast.

I think what Op is complaining about is that her ex is not waking up earlier to do this for her, whereas OP does do it.

I get that Op wants these things done for her 16 yr old, but honestly, the 16 yr old should be able to do some of that for herself.

FWIW, my DD has issue eating breakfast that early.  Her stomach isn't awake yet. I have the same problem, but I wfh, and eat my oatmeal at 8:30am. Sometimes she just  eats a piece of fruit because that's all her stomach can take at that hour.[/quote]
