My teen daughter ate two cans of tuna today for lunch and I’ve told her before that two cans is excessive. She can have one can and something else...yogurt, bread, fruit, salad. Literally anything else (or multiple things) but not a second can.She is acting like I am depriving her of food. I never tell her she can’t eat. The whole house is full of food that she is welcome to eat but it’s more about it being gluttonous and expensive. I don’t buy the cheap tuna. This stuff is like $3.50/can so 2 cans is $7 and that’s more than I budget on each member of our family for lunch. Usually I can get two sandwiches out of a can but she doesn’t want the bread.How can I get through to her that this isn’t about me not feeding her but more so about me maintaining my budget and also about her not needing that much tuna in one sitting. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3iXacav
