Stealing food from our plates, I bought my stepmom her own burger ‍♀️

Living with a nutritionist stepmom who constantly lectures us about healthy eating, my siblings and I decided to buy some junk food for ourselves. However, our stepmom keeps picking off our plates and lecturing us about our unhealthy eating habits. Fed up with her behavior, I decided to buy her a burger of her own to eat. When she came to pick off our plates again, I handed her the wrapped burger and told her it was all hers. She was angry and called me disrespectful, but my siblings and I think she needed to learn to respect our boundaries. Do you think I was in the wrong for buying her a burger of her own?
