Picture this: you’re a mom of five beautiful daughters, and your girls have a lovely autistic friend, Jenny, who regularly comes over to play. You’ve included her in family outings, and her mom has reciprocated by taking your girls on outings too. Sounds like a great friendship, right?

The Great Chicken Tender Debacle
During the sleepover weekend, our protagonist mom took her daughters and their friend Jenny out for lunch. Jenny and one of the daughters, Daria, both ordered chicken tenders and fries. While Jenny was in the bathroom with the other girls, mom noticed that Jenny hadn’t eaten her last chicken tender. Assuming she didn’t want it, mom gave it to her youngest daughter, Emily. When Jenny returned and noticed her chicken was gone, she was upset because she was ‘saving it for last.’ Mom tried to give back the remaining piece, but Jenny refused due to ‘baby germs.’ Jenny’s mom later called our protagonist mom inconsiderate for not waiting to ask Jenny before giving away her food. The husband agrees with Jenny’s mom, but mom thinks she overreacted. What do you think? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this chicken tender drama…
