If you spend any time at all on the internet these days, you're familiar with the " Am I The Asshole " subreddit, where people describe how they handled a situation and ask others if they were an asshole. Recently, a parent went viral after sharing an argument they had with their family about their teenage daughter's food consumption. After sharing the story, the parent clarified in the comments that everyone there had already eaten and there was plenty of food left for a third helping — and folks were surprisingly torn over the situation.
User Sea_Estate8909 thought the parent was in the right. They said, "Your sister has some anger issues, and you were right to leave. I probably would have left the second that she said something to my kid.
I would get some distance and let her cool off. Maybe she was just having a crazy bad day or something." Others like u/IntrovertedGiraffe were surprised that anyone wouldn't graciously host their own family members for dinner.
"Definitely not the asshole - my mom loves to host (and, in her words, 'cook for an army).' To her, having people go back for seconds and thirds, even fourths or more, is the ultimate compliment. We had my cousins’ teenagers visit for a few weeks, and she was so happy when they would get up from the table to fill another plate.
I caught her smile on video at one point and sent it to my cousin as proof that having her sons here was not an imposition whatsoever because it made my mom so happy. My guess is that you.
