I know, I know. You all told me so.

I went to the gym this morning and got home right before noon. SD is eating ice cream when I walk in and says she just ate mac n cheese. Great. I walked the dogs and ate leftovers when I got back.

I ended up taking a nap and I woke up to SD texting me saying "when are we going to have breakfast? My mom is coming at 5 and I'm starving." This was at almost 3pm.

#1- we have plenty of food for her to PREPARE HERSELF. That is too much so I tell her that we have food for her to eat. #2- "my dad is getting me Einstein's because you were sleeping." This is a 12 year old kid. She can't make cereal, bacon and eggs, or waffles? That's breakfast!

Annoyed, I tell her that I hope her dad gets home soon because he is still working and usually doesn't get home before 5. Good luck, SD! What happened to kids being independent and not needing an adult to feed them? TWELVE year olds at that!

Edit- just threw something away and she ate a WHOLE pint of vanilla ice cream and jumbo kit kat bar. She is soooo hungry but can't prepare real food? Cry me a river. AND her parents (DH and BM) say she needs to lose weight but don't forfeit the pizza dinners and sugary cereals. Last night, SD picked canned green beans as the side for our chicken pasta. DH tells her "you don't have to eat the green beans." I say "yes she does! She picked them out!" 

Update- DH isn't home and BM is due in 30 minutes. How much do you want to bet SD tells mommy how horrible we are (I am) for not making her breakfast and expecting her to eat something else that we have or make eggs herself? She is allowed to use the stove and knows how to use it safely.
