Today, I told my daughter that she wasn't allowed to eat in her room, so she sat at the table and glared at me for 10 minutes while she ate. She's 15. FML

I never had to eat with my family during routine meals... I'm now long past being a teen, and I still do not understand why some families insist upon watching and listening one another chew on things... (For interaction, there are other, much better times. I personally was taught it is not polite to chew and talk.)

Or perhaps she simply does not like being stared at by another person who is chewing.

I mean most of the time I would have to eat my room because my parents would watch a movie that wasn't appropriate for me and wouldn't let me out

What the hell? What kids eat in their room? Eat at the damn table as a family. And if she glared at you, something is wrong. She should have the expectation that she dines with the family, or at least eats at the table. Also, if she glared at you, she deserved to have her food taken away from her. I simply cannot believe the comments here supporting this brat's "right" to eat alone in her room.

I'm going to say...she still lives with her parent or parents, whatever your situation. Your house, your rules. She can get over it.

And that works right up until the kid gets sick of the parents being micromanaging helicopter parents, and get the hell out of dodge the first chance they get. Believe it or don't, but there's evidence that treating teenagers like they're still little kids not only stunts their growth, but damages the parent-offspring relationship. Maybe some kids need more observation, but unless the daughter is a complete slob or has an eating disorder, there's no reason she should have to eat every meal and snack at a kitchen table while being stared at by one of her parents.

I... am so confused by this whole comment. Eating with someone else is not treating them like a child. If anything, you're telling them, "Look this is an expectation we have of you, get used to it." And how on EARTH do you eat that you sit there and stare at someone while they/you are eating? Do you not go out to eat with friends and family?

You are acting like an asshole for no reason and then you got triggered by "mildly annoyed" reaction of your child.
