Some people are sensitive. And some people are insensitive.

In this story, the two worlds collide.

Let’s see what all the fussing and fighting is about.

AITAH for crying because my dad tried to help make breakfast?

Some context: I 21F still live with my parents and have always been a clean person.

Recently I’ve been having a lot of stomach issues that I admit has made me a lot more cautious with the way I cook food.

Stomach issues are no fun. Hopefully her family respects it?

I like to wash all my cooking utensils clean before I use them because in our house sometimes the pots and pans aren’t completely clean from the dishwasher etc., whereas my parents kind of pride themselves on being able to eat most things and be completely fine.

Nope, they’ve got iron stomachs.

This morning I was trying to make breakfast and my dad came in and started trying to help me.

I told him that I was ok and didn’t need any help but he insisted and started using unwashed pans and also the plastic chopping board used to cut raw meat on for my vegetables.

Ew. Not safe for consumption. What’s OP to do?

I was getting a bit frustrated and said again I didn’t want any help and I wanted to use my own clean utensils.

He got very annoyed and said things like, “Oh for Pete’s sake this is ridiculous!” “Yeah whatever you know best,” in a sarcastic way and, “You cost me a fortune in washing up liquid.”

Um… do the dishes, Dad.

I used about 1 tsp of washing liquid which I thought was normal.

After that I got really upset and started crying because I just wanted to make breakfast in peace but instead got yelled at.

My mum came in and said, “He’s probably just worried about you,” but worried about what?

Is it strange that I like to use clean utensils?

Definitely not strange. Now I’m worried.

My dad denied yelling at me and got annoyed that I was crying after that, which is why I’m writing here because maybe I was overreacting?

And maybe it’s weird to clean everything before using it?

If I could get some outside perspective that would be great, thank you.

My outside perspective: she just wants to keep it clean.

Let’s see what the comments think.

Somebody says, seek help.

Another person says, seek medical attention.

Another vote for, see a doctor?

Another person says, look at cause and effect here?

Another user is like… vomit emoji?

Using dirty utensils?

Cut it out.
