Mom implements new dinner rule after husband's rude behavior 😠
A mom on Reddit shared how her husband was insisting that their son (13) washes his own dishes after cooking for the family. The mom disagreed and felt that since the son was cooking for the family, he shouldn't be responsible for washing dishes as well. The husband tried to justify his behavior and even suggested that their son needs to learn how hard life can be.
The mom then implemented a new rule where everyone has to be a part of dinner in order to eat it. Her son cooks while she washes the dishes so that they can both eat. Her husband was not happy with the rule and left the house to eat elsewhere. The mom asks Reddit if she's the a**hole. While some agree with her, others think she's being too harsh. Read on for the comments and reactions to this family drama.
