Boyfriend Refuses to Share Food with Neighbor’s Kid ️

We’ve all been taught to share, but when it comes to food, some people draw the line. A woman shared a story about her boyfriend refusing to share his plate of leftover Chinese food with their neighbor’s 5-year-old kid who was visiting. The woman was heartbroken and told her boyfriend that he should either send the kid home or only eat what he’s willing to share. The boyfriend, however, believes he should be able to do whatever he wants in his own home. Is it fair to expect him to share or should he be able to enjoy his lunch in peace? ‍♀️

To Share or Not to Share?

This woman is torn after her boyfriend refused to share his leftover Chinese food with their neighbor’s 5-year-old kid who was visiting. She believes he should either send the child home or only eat what he’s willing to share. The boyfriend, on the other hand, feels he should be able to do whatever he wants in his own home and that feeding the neighbor’s child isn’t their responsibility. With the child coming from a rough home and the woman working at a food bank, she’s extra sensitive to food-related issues. Let’s see what people think about this lunchtime predicament…
