This Man Wants to Know if He’s Wrong for Making His 9-Year-Old Son Make His Own Food

Call me crazy, but 9-years-old seems pretty young to be pretty young for making your own food…

Am I right or am I right…?

I think I’m right…

But let’s get all the info before we start throwing accusations around, okay?

Take a look at what happened and we hope to hear from you in the comments.

AITA for making my son make his own food?

“My son 9M is insanely picky. He won’t eat almost everything. This started when he was around five.

He would come home from kindergarten with untouched lunches except for his yogurt and applesauce. We took him to the pediatrician, who said we needed to consult with a dietician. While we were waiting for approval from our insurance we tried different things to get our son to eat.

Eventually we figured that he will eat stuff like mashed potatoes and soup, anything he doesn’t have to chew. So we just started accommodating that. We tried to make balanced meals, mixing soft vegetables into his mashed potatoes and such.

We figured he would grow out of this, but he never did. I got sick of making separate meals or eating pureed food every night. I started bringing my son into the kitchen with me and teaching him to use a blender and other kitchen tools.

Now, my son makes his own food almost every night I cook. My wife still makes separate meals for him. She says I am an AH for making him make his own food. I supervise him and help him with whatever he needs. I think he needs to know how to make his own stuff, because there is no way people are going to accommodate this throughout his life. We’ve been fighting about it more lately.

AITA?”
