Your context when mentioning you found it on the floor strongly implied that DD
put it there. As to not knowing how it got there, why not ask your kittens...oh
wait, maybe you could ask DD, but as I said, you really don't want to know that
she did it, do you?

So, instead of actually asking DD if she did it, you went out and spent money,
which you have previously mentioned is a concern for you, on a possibly
unnecessary item?

Which in no way is the same thing as having DD take *SOME* responsibility for
both her disease/illness and diet

The "so" seems totally redundant

I'm not talking about her medical stuff, I'm talking about the stuff she puts in
her mouth, which hopefully is food

They would be commonly emancipated if they could prove they are responsible.
Since you seem unlike to provide an environment that encourages DD to be
responsible, she will enter legal adulthood totally unprepared to take care of
herself.

She's old enough to take care of herself now, it's just that you don't want her
to take care of herself.

Oh, so at age 13 you were able to feed and clothe yourself, but DD isn't?

What has the law got to do with taking responsibility for her body and herself?

I'd be insulted, but in my experience, such lame insults from defective mothers
means nothing except that you are angry with yourself
