One teen thought he was doing something nice when he took his 3-year-old nephew out for breakfast—but instead of sticking to McDonald’s like his sister asked, he decided to switch it up and go to a different breakfast joint.

His sister didn’t think the breakfast swap was harmless. Now, he’s wondering if he was really in the wrong, or if the boy’s mom overreacted.

Read on for the story.

AITA For taking my nephew out for breakfast

I (17 M) woke up one morning and seen my nephew (3 M) all by himself walking around the house.

He normally does this in the morning since my sister Quin (23 F) sleeps in.

I do the routine, putting on TV and getting him a juice before my routine like a shower.

He sounds like a great uncle.

Furthering on Quin wakes I ask to take him to McDonald’s for breakfast.

She, cranky as always, agrees reluctantly she only asked I would take him to Daycare afterwards.

Driving down the road I felt like McDonald’s was too boring and just basic since every time I wanted to go out with him I’d take him there.

Change of plans!

So without much thought of warning Quin of the change of plans I pull into a Waffle House.

Eating and talking, or what we could since my nephew is only three and gets fascinated by light fixtures having bugs in them.

My phone starts to blow up randomly, text messages, phone calls all wondering why I had taken him to Waffle House instead of McDonald’s like I had said.

He’s not sure why she’s upset.

In the end I felt like me and my nephew going out was supposed to be a time between us.

As long as I made sure he was safe, fed, and brought to day care, who cares where we go.

Quin threw a fit just because I went somewhere else.

AITA?

Reddit leaned NTA, saying he made a harmless change and his sister massively overreacted.

This person said this would be a non-issue if phones weren’t around.

This person said he did absolutely nothing wrong.

And this person said sure, he could’ve given the parents a heads-up to avoid drama, but the nephew was fed, safe, and on time.

A quick breakfast swap shouldn’t cause a family feud.
