A man has faced backlash from his sister's family after he refused to let her two daughters cook their own food at a Christmas celebration, despite the fact they are very picky eaters.
In the past, the man has been annoyed at his sister during family dinners as she will bring a separate Tupperware box full of pasta and chicken for her girls to eat, and will get in his way while trying to cook it for them.
Taking to Reddit, the man explained that for this year's Christmas celebration family dinner, he banned his sister from the kitchen and gave the daughters a dreaded ultimatum.
In the post, the man explained: "We have our Christmas with mum's side the first weekend of December. I hosted, usually my sister and I switch off host duties.
"My sister has two daughters who are incredibly picky eaters at 18 and 15- years- old. My sister would come to family parties with a box of pasta and a bag of frozen chicken tenders that she will make for her daughters."
The man has decided to take action this year, as he plans to stop his sister getting in the way in the kitchen - but she's not happy.
He said: "This year I told my wife we will not be letting my sister in the kitchen this year and the girls will have the choice of eating what I prepared or not eating.
"My sister accused me of being a cynic and getting joy from watching the girls be uncomfortable. I told her they are old enough to eat like adults.
"I do a fillet roast, BBQ ribs, cheesy potatoes, stuffed artichoke, breaded cauliflower, ratatouille, and a salad. Certainly some of these must be foods that an 18 and 15- year -old should be able to eat."
However, on the day the girls just sat at the table eating bread and saying how disgusting the other food looked but his sister told him he deserved this from them.
In response to the post, many were quick to support the man, as one person wrote: "They are 18 and 15, not little kids. They can be picky, you don't have to accommodate that. It's very annoying to have someone come into the kitchen and taking up space when you’re cooking a big meal."
While another wrote: "This is not about allergies or veganism. It's about near-adults acting like whiny toddlers and their mother catering to it for some reason."
