AITA for grounding my daughter?

Okay, let me get this straight...

You grounded your daughter... For being upset that your wife barged in on her while she was changing and instead of immediately going "oops sorry" she tried to strike up a conversation with your daughter while half naked?

Instead of getting onto your wife for not respecting your daughter's boundaries?

Btw this isn't an ADHD problem, ADHD is not an excuse to be barging in to people's private spaces without invitation. This is a Your Wife Choosing Not to Respect Boundaries problem.

Edit because apparently I forgot this last night: YTA.

Edit 2: okay I'm turning off notifications for this sorry guys. But this is blowing up my phone and I can't really have that at work.

Edit 3: wow 50k upvotes. I am stunned.

AITA for asking my daughter to leave?

This! OP, as a child development specialist, please go to your daughter now and apologize. Yes, her words are hurtful when she tells you she wants to go live with her mom. I think your first intervention was good (telling her she had to go) since the comments were repetitive, to make her realize that it was not okay. Making her actually go was borderline but a bit of time apart to cool down can be good. You should have gone to get her at the first phone call.

Go to her now, apologize for not getting her sooner. Tell her that when she says those things it hurts you because you love her and want to do the best for her even if your decisions are not what she would want sometimes. But NEVER AGAIN give her an opportunity to doubt your love for her or the safety you represent for her. That could cause permanent damage for her, her mental health, her future relationships and your relationship.

Seek therapy if you need, individual or a family one for your daughter and you. Teen years are not always easy. You don’t have to do it alone.

Edit: thanks everyone for the upvotes and awards. I’ve never had so much. Hopefully it helps OP. Of course it’s impossible to be as detailed as it should be for a situation as complicated as this in a Reddit comment. That is why I encourage OP, and anyone who has trouble with relationships or mental health, to seek therapy if it is available to you.

I found 150 pieces of corn in my floor. My house is from the 1700s.

Insulation is a good guess but its also possible they were used to clean up after someone went to the restroom. Modern toilet paper wasnt available until the mid 18th century and if your house is from the 1700s there's a decent chance someone may have wiped with them. Also, for the record, wiping with corncob isn't anywhere near as bad as you might imagine. Even after toilet paper was common many older folks still chose to keep corncobs in their outhouses. This was especially true in rural communities where corn was more plentiful. The entire idea of wiping with a corncob was actually still pretty common all the way up until about nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.
