Mom’s teachings questioned: YTA…

“YTA. It was a dinner party. If you had a stomach ache or knew you wouldn’t try any food, you shouldn’t have gone.

Saying you don’t just eat “anyone’s cooking” is just plain rude. She’s not just “anyone,” she’s family, and she’s cooked FOR YOU. You were ungrateful. And learn how to move food around on your plate so it looks like you’ve eaten more than the tiny taste, if you actually don’t like it.” ️
