Moms and dads fighting over how much food to give their kiddos seems to be a pretty common parenting theme these days.
And this couple is really going at it!
The mom in the equation took to Reddit to ask reader if they think she’s doing anything wrong.
Check out her story and see what you think.
AITA for not allowing my kids a snack after dinner?
“I (28f) and my husband (32m) have 3 beautiful boys together aged 8, 7, and 4. Almost every evening we sit together at the table as a family and enjoy dinner.
There are rules, kiddos!
We have a strict rule that if you don’t finish your plate, you don’t get a snack later or dessert. If our kids are full before their plate is gone, we let them leave the table but save their plate in case they ask for a snack later.
This really hasn’t been an issue until recently and specifically tonight where my husband and I got into a fight in front of the kids disagreeing if they could have a snack or not after dinner.
Yikes…
Recently my husband has been not allowing the kids to have a snack after dinner even if they finish their plate. I’ve been arguing back saying “they finished, they’re allowed a snack.”
Tonight our 7 year old asked for a snack after dinner and my husband flipped saying “don’t ask again you’re not having any more food tonight.”
Dude, chill out.
I told him he was being unreasonable and snuck my 7 year old down to have a clementine and a banana. My husband thinks I’m the ******* for undermining his decision that the kids won’t have snacks but I think he’s being unreasonable and if we have the means to fed our kids dinner and snacks after why wouldn’t we?
AITA?”
Here’s what Reddit users had to say.
