Toddler’s TANTRUM Over Forbidden Snack Cake Divides Families!

Snack time drama alert! As a mom of four, I thought I had it all figured out with my clever snack box system. Each kid gets their own box, decorated to their liking, filled with equal amounts of tasty treats. It seemed like the perfect way to teach them about fairness and self-regulation. But when our friends’ kids came over for a playdate, things took a turn for the worse! One little tantrum later, and I’m left wondering: am I the a-hole for not forcing my kids to share their precious snacks? Let’s dive into this sticky situation!

So, here’s the deal: my 8-year-old didn’t want to share her favorite snack cakes with our friends’ 3-year-old, and all h–l broke loose! The toddler threw a tantrum, and my friend’s spouse accused me of setting my kids up for future food issues and hoarding problems. They even suggested I leave some “good stuff” out for other kids to enjoy! But I stood my ground, saying my kids know how to share, but I don’t force them to share FOOD. Now, I’m left wondering if I’m the a-hole in this snack-time saga. ‍♀️ Let’s see what the internet has to say about this tasty drama!
