DD treated me awful

I have had a row with my 19yr old DD tonight. I am a single parent to 3 DDs, 23, 19 and 11( different dad) work hard and do everything for my girls
My 11yr old had her height weight yr6 check and I had a call to say she is underweight. She eats well, snacks etc, I mainly give her healthy foods and dinners but she has crisps, chocolate too.

My 19yr old has questioned her weight before saying im not feeding her enough, I think I am. All of my girls have been really small, my adult DDs are now muscular and work out.
She always communicates through message and said tonight about the school saying she is underweight and kept messaging me.
I confronted her and shes kicked off big time, screaming and shouting at me, swearing at me which we dont do and then finally told me im a bad mother.

I am so hurt, she was literally laughing in my face saying I cant do anything cos she pays rent but she has no respect for me. Im sick of her attitude, shes treated her BF like this many times, screams, shouts and then cries which she did tonight. I feel awful that I confronted her but I am Mum...

Of course you can do something, she's over 18 so you can tell her to leave your house if she's rude and disrespectful. You're under no legal obligation to house her - she's an adult.

“do everything for my girls”

^ this is your problem right here.

It is not a kindness to do everything for your children. It is a huge hinderence in their independence, confidence, resilience, self belief, self esteem etc.
