We have that one relative in thefamilywho spoils us rotten and showers us with love. For example, in my case, it was my grandmom. She could never say no when I asked her for sweets in my childhood—and mind you, she was a tough cookie.

The couple made a salad with their 12-year-old nephew and also had fun eating pizza bagels, enjoying a movie till the kid fell asleep

When the poster’s sister came over and found out about what they had eaten for dinner, she completely lost her mind and called it a “garbage snack”
She even insulted her brother, saying he was not a parent and it clearly showed, and she still acts coldly toward him
She threw a fit, calling it a “garbage snack,” then got even more angry when she found out it was their dinner. Well, OP tried to calm her down and explained that many people had salad and bagels for dinner, but she would have none of it. In fact, she even insulted him, saying, “You’re not a parent and it shows.” Although hisbrother-in-lawapologized for it, she is still cold toward him.

Researchstates that 9% of the US population, or 28.8 million Americans, will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. The poster commented that his sister indeed had an eating disorder after many people pointed it out. He also expressed that it was “under control,” according to her, but he could see that it wasn’t, especially after she gained weight post-pregnancy.
Folks claimed that she was passing it on to her child, closely monitoring everything that he ate, and throwing a fit. It has also beenobservedthat eating disorders are highly heritable and tend to run in families, so what the Redditors commented might be true.
According toEndeavor Health, “Children on restrictive diets, particularly those that restrict calories, feel excluded and may be at increased risk for eating disorders or problems with body image. Conclusively, restrictive diets can be harmful to children’s health and mental well-being.”
People online mentioned that the mom controlling what she eats is different, but monitoring every little thing that a 12-year-old eats is definitely not a good sign. Besides, Redditors said that the child needed such food once in a while if he always ate healthily. OP also commented that he was practically hogging it down, probably because he rarely got to eat it.
Some people even spoke about how mean the sister acted after her brother pulled such a generous gesture for her. They said that instead of being grateful for a child-free hotel stay, she was berating the poster over something completely unnecessary, and her statements to him were highly offensive.
Netizens backed the poster and didn’t hesitate to say that his sister might give her kid an eating disorder if she controls everything he eats
