It’s hard to feel bad for someone who refuses to share yet expects everyone else to share with them.
One woman ran into that after her 10-year-old nephew refused to give her daughter even a small piece of one of his Crumbl cookies.
Still wanting something sweet, her daughter later asked if she could make some homemade cookies, so she made just enough for the two of them.
Of course, the nephew wanted some too, even though he had already eaten all six of his own cookies earlier.
So, when she didn’t immediately hand one over, he pouted and told his mom he hadn’t gotten any.
Read on to see what his mom said.
AITAH for making my daughter cookies but not my nephew?
Yesterday, my sister bought my nephew (10) 6 large Crumbl cookies. And for those who don’t know, one large cookie is about 800 calories and is equal to 4 servings.
While he was hanging out, playing games with my daughter (15), she asked him for a piece of one, and he refused.
My daughter isn’t a huge fan of Crumbl cookies because they’re too sweet (we split one once, and it took her 3 days to finish her half), so she really only wanted a tiny piece because it was really colorful.
My nephew proceeded to eat all 6 cookies within the hour (I found out after the fact).
As he was pouting, her sister came downstairs.
Later, while I was cooking dinner, my daughter asked if I could make her cookies for dessert, so I made 6 Toll House cookies (3 for her, 3 for me).
After dinner, we grabbed our cookies, and of course my nephew wanted some. I reminded him he’d already had 6 Crumbl cookies, and of course he pouted, saying that was way earlier.
Feeling guilty, I gave him half of one of my cookies.
His mom came downstairs, saw him pouting at the table, and asked him what was wrong.
He told her that I didn’t give him any cookies, and of course my sister threw a tantrum, complaining about it being unfair and me showing favoritism.
The truth is that she would teach any child that same lesson.
Now she’s up, stomping around the house, downstairs banging pots and pans, complaining about what happened last night.
My nephew is 215 lbs. and is a very selfish eater. I love him like my own, and if the tables were turned, I’d teach my daughter the same lesson if she didn’t share when she had more than enough.
On the other hand, my daughter is 105 lbs., so many times she’ll have just enough for herself and still split her food with him, usually giving him the bigger portion. So for him to flat-out deny her, it didn’t sit well with me.
AITA?
Wow! Not to be mean, but that boy didn’t need even a taste of that cookie.
Let’s see how the readers over at Reddit feel about this.
It does sound pretty crazy.
This reader is fixated on the kid’s weight.
The kid sounds extremely selfish.

That sounds about right.
What’s most shocking here is that his mom apparently let a 10-year-old eat six giant Crumbl cookies in one sitting.
She should be more concerned about that than whether he got another cookie after dinner.
Then, on top of that, he wouldn’t share even a small piece with his cousin, but still expected everyone else to share with him.
His mom really needs to address her son’s habits and entitlement instead of getting mad at everyone else.
