    Can’t stop missing the younger years

    @proangel I feel you. My daughter is 14 also but she's been individuating since she was around 11. But, it's been getting better. Now when she goes to bed I say "I looove you" down the stairs and she says, "Eww" or something to that effect. But, I take it to mean, I love you, too. :) I...

    What do you expect and experience with your teens eating habits?

    @scottwilson My 15 year old makes herself scrambled eggs and rice regularly. She'll make herself mac and cheese. She'll heat up pre-made lasagna. She'll bake cookies and brownies. She makes herself ramen and canned soup. Once in a great while she'll put together a fruit salad. She also...

    Freshman and bad grades

    @sandgroper101 It makes sense not to send him on the band trip since he doesn't know the songs. He should drop out of band if he's not interested in it.

    AITA - Dinner time

    @convictionofgod My 15 year old will OFTEN turn her nose up at what I'm cooking now. I tell her that she can make herself pasta or eggs. Basically, she's on her own if she doesn't want to eat what I'm cooking. Occasionally, if it's convenient I can make her something at the same time. She...

    Is our daughter (11F) eating enough?

    @katrina2017 And if you go with intuitive eating, no foods or good or bad. They're just food.
