What if op babysitting for free 💀
I suggest ALL of your kids find another babysitter and you can just enjoy your grandkids at your will.
Not the bad guy at all. Kids don't decide when is dinnertime. Sounds like they will all be entitled kids thanks to their parents.
@gailrodgers3079 They should learn to hear to their hunger and eat because of it and not to a certain time this is the healthier eating habbit. It would be different, if he would have given them another snack, like bread with something, because you shouldn't force children to eat something they absolutely don't want to eat, this will only cause an eating disorder
@@cary9479Op said the kid could eat a fruit OR a snack. There are many different types of snacks and I'm sure no kid out there dislikes all of them. If the kid just accepted eating a snack then sure OP would've made him a sandwich or something.
👏 👏 👏 Best Comment 👏 👏 👏.
I bet you don't get paid either.
Yeah eating a snack fills you lol I have eaten snacks when I was hungry and filled me well enough
NTA. Thats absolutely stupid that they are so entitled to think that you should feed their kids whenever they say they are hungry when they arent even paying you
Your right but your logic is wrong
Wait I thought you meant the kids😂
i found the replies to the original things, turns out the son has an eating disorder and autism, and fruit is a huge sensory issue for him
@@strych9inesdid she know that in the story? also im not arguing w u but just as a reply in general the parents should still discipline the child and teach him to not be entitled even if he has autism. the grandparent should know about the autism and eating disorder. as for the ed/sensory problem if she knew about it she couldve made the kid something to eat especially before dinner
@@sleepiegirlI think she should have offered him a different snack. I don’t really think he was entitled, just hangry and coming from an autistic person unsafe foods can make us throw up
Nta those kids are entitled as all heck.
😈😋
The children are being fed. They have a set meal time and that needs to be respected. They were offered a snack and refused it so yeah the only sane person here is OP @ivel1os
@ivel1os who the heck haves dinner at 4 pm and if the lil kid was hungry that means he didn't had his lunch which should be on school or the mother
@ivel1osshe didn't deny him food, she just gave him an option he didn't want. Your argument reeks of bad faith and entitlement
@ivel1osyeah except she offered fruit and if you’re gonna bitch and not want fruit then igs you’ll starve till dinner
Dinner time is at 6..like you said eat a snack..if he really was that hungry he would've eaten the snack..the fact that the adult kids are complaining means they need to find a new sitter 🤷🏾♀️
Maybe the snak wasn't enough or he would have to eat enough fruit for a whole meal which would mean he would be full and couldn't eat dinner or someone people (like my mother) can't/don't want to eat sweet things when there hungry
@@ik-hou-van-jou4900 do you not know what a snack is?! They weren't meant to eat enough to be full off fruit. They had to eat a small snack and wait not even a full 2 hours to eat am actual meal. 🙄
@@user-wn4jl7xq5p EXACTLY..that's why it's called a snack and not a meal 👌🏾
@@ik-hou-van-jou4900yeah, but a snack isn’t supposed to make you full. That would be a meal then, if the kid ate until they were full. It’s supposed to hold you over.
And if you’re saying “maybe that isn’t enough,” the kid didn’t even try to make a snack for themself. Which btw, when you’re 12, you can fully make your own snacks at that age, on your own.
@@ik-hou-van-jou4900 the point of the snack is to curb his appetite until dinner is ready..it's not supposed to make him full 🤦🏾♀️
Sounds like your kids can pay for their babysitters and you can take your grandkids at your prerogative. Also, good on you for teaching your grandkids to eat healthy foods. ❤
TBF, even as a babysitter I would be "no were eating at 6, have a snack". I mean even eating at 6 seems super early for me, in my country we eat at 7 sometimes, most of the time at 8. And as a kid, if I was hungry at 4 or 5 there was a little meal to wait, but if it's not dinner time, it's not dinner time XD
I would have never dreamed of demanding dinner from my grand parents 😅
👏 👏 👏
@@krankarvolund7771 it’s more about not having family drama and conflict. If they want someone to follow their rules, specifically, they can pay someone to do that.
As long as no one is in danger, Grandmothers do how they will, and parents can either put up with it for the free Baby Sitting!! , or they can pay for their own babysitters.
For reference, I am a former babysitter, and a current parent.
The Audacity of your grandson to fix his mouth to tell you to fix dinner now after you told him to have a snack and then your daughter girl i would never babysitt for those ungratefuls.
Listen to the wording of this again he said no because that wasn't enough there is something else here that because he's a kid he didn't say and she didn't ask it sounds like the kid probably skipped lunch for whatever reason and as a caregiver it is her job to get down to the bottom of why there were times where I almost passed out because of behavior like this because fruit did not have the protein that I needed they even gave me fruit snacks and ice cream but I still ask for proper food and was told no this is dangerous kids don't have the words to explain what's going on with their bodies because let's change the situation just so slightly where it's the same situation but handled differently kid comes in says I'm hungry please make dinner early grandmother says here I have fruit eat this the kid then says I need more protein the kid in this being old enough to understand his body being this same kid in a few years he felt he needed nutrition that was going to come from dinner that was not in fruit what is a kid who doesn't understand what nutrition is just know oh when I feel like this fruit doesn't help dinner helps so I need dinner and my grandmother is telling me to do something that will not help I need to talk to my mom about that I know because I was there and my nephew was there and my sister was there all of us have been in these situations and not have the words to tell people why and they don't care enough to ask if you don't care enough to figure out why fruit is not good right now then you don't need a babysit anyone because this could very easily be a hypoglycemic kid who realized what makes his body feel good but again does not have the words to tell them that's what's going on
@@annabellebestia332this kid is 12, he’s more than old enough to understand to eat some fruit until dinner is ready, also to disrespect his grandparent like that just shows his parents didn’t raise him well
@@annabellebestia332He is 12. 12 is old enough to say "Hey granny, I've skipped lunch, could you please cook something for me?"
Some children are even able to make their own food at that age already, or maybe a simple sandwhich.
And punctuation marks and paragraphs are your friends btw, your wall of text was quite hard to read 😉
@@annabellebestia332 nah grandkid that lied and OPs kids are ungrateful monsters. If it was medical the fruit would have still been enough to hold them over until dinner. OP didn't starve them or put them in any danger. You just want OP to be the bad person when they clearly aren't.
@@changbinstreadmill^
Jeez if I told my grandma "no" and "make me dinner now" I would have seen stars and she would wait till my parents got home and I would have visited those stars again lol
Yeah lol
Exactly. We absolutely did NOT talk to elders…much less GRANDPARENTS like that. My 6 year old nephew even knows better than to talk to us like that.
Exactly! How dare that entitled brat speak to his grandmother that way!! I would NEVER and neither would my children to my Mom. Just disrespectful af!
@@bethlanious4092 My nephew has his own shelf in my fridge and pantry as well as his own room in my house and he knows he doesn’t have to ask to go get anything from his room or shelves but he STILL asks and if there’s someone here he doesn’t know very well, he even acts awkward…like he’s afraid to interrupt or be a bother…even though he’s clear on the rules. If it’s on one of his shelves or in his room, he doesn’t have to ask because it is his.
Yeah! I have foster grandbabies. They say hungry I tell them fruit or sandwiches they know where it is. Unless they are to little to fix it but even the 6 yo can make a sandwich. Want a drink? Milk or water or juice or caffeine free tea. They have a cupboard with their own dishes and utensils. Time to cook dinner I am teaching them to cook. It's a skill people of all ages should learn beyond burning ramen in a microwave. Especially with food prices so high.
As my mother says “If you’re not hungry enough to eat an apple, you’re not hungry”
My grandmother used to say that.
@@jessf.9759 It’s mostly true. As a child though I would go through periods where I would just decide I would only eat a specific thing… of course I wouldn’t tell anyone what it was and instead would just say I wasn’t hungry when offered anything else. Because we’re a big family and the person making food changed from meal to meal they didn’t realize that I hadn’t been eating until I finally caved and started crying for dinner at 11pm because I hadn’t eaten in 3 days. (They immediately apologized and made me food)
Same!
@laylaflora3212Same
@laylaflora3212well that's different
If man’s that hungry, he should just eat the fruit. And if he’s still hungry after and asks for dinner to be earlier, then it’s fair game.
*Child.
But I agree asking afterwards is something you can do. That being said, depending on how the OP was preparing dinner, sometimes you can’t make things faster.
@@Suited_Natpretty sure we all know he’s a child. We watched the short
I don’t know the kid’s case, and it very may well have just been entitlement - but it’s also possible that the kid is like me and *physically can’t eat* most fruits.
It’s not reasonable to expect someone babysitting your kids to reorganize their entire schedule around said kids’ whims. It is ENTIRELY reasonable to expect them to have multiple snack options available if your kid has food / texture sensitivities, and OP has not given any evidence for or against that possibility. Yes, fruit is healthy. No, not everyone finds it tasty - some people can’t even put it in their mouths without gagging.
@@Munchkin.Of.Pern09 Yeah, I was thinking that could be a possibility too. OP is a grandparent apparently, so I would hope they’d have some familiarity toward the kid’s allergies and dislikes. But maybe they don’t or maybe they don’t care. Either way there’s a lot to assume in this story.
@@Munchkin.Of.Pern09 yeah but at the same time if someone is babysitting your kids you should tell them what the kid can and can't eat no matter their reasoning of not eating it. I have a crapton of food allergies and my mom would always tell anyone I was staying with about my allergies until I was able to do so myself.
He’s 12 if he wants food he can make it himself I’ve been making my own dinners since I was 11 on occasion and since I was 13-14 almost everyday surely he can make some toast or smth
exactly, have toast with butter or something...
Well I'm sorry that you're parents thought it was a good idea to have you start making your own dinner at that age
@@CaitlinIrwin-cd2hh don’t be in my opinion everyone should start learning to cook when there young so it just come naturally later in life me starting to cook at 11 and fkn up quite a bit taught me what to do and what not to do and now in my opinion I’m pretty good at cooking so it was a good idea on my mums part to allow me to cook at a younger age
Your kids are raising entitled brats. That's gonna backfire on them one day.
It already has.
I was thinking the same way. It's the beginning stages of a criminal.
Someone said in the original post it's mentioned that the kid is autistic with an eating disorder and fruit is a sensory issue, speaking as an autistic person unsafe foods can make us puke, please be understanding
Raise your kids or you'll be raising your grandkids!
What is it with parents these days? No rules, what the kid says goes? We got a snack if we wanted it before a meal. My kids did too.
Grandma is parenting the kid while the daughter is appeasing the kid so she doesn't have to parent him. Parenting is hard. Giving in is easy.
I know right? Like who raised these parents?
In the original post it's mentioned that the kid is autistic with an eating disorder and fruit is a sensory issue
NTA he was being a brat and I suspect he bosses his parents around all the time and they give in to him which is why he demands things the way he does. If he is truly hungry he would have eaten a snack. I don’t think waiting the two hours till 6 its considered starvation lol
Someone said in the original post it's mentioned that the kid is autistic and fruit is a sensory issue
@@youre764 it's still not starving him. Two hours to wait is fine unless he has actual medical issues like hypoglycemia or something.
@@lspthrattan they said he was especially hungry so maybe he missed out on lunch or something
NTA nobody should be ordering you to cook on command, let alone a kid. He’s old enough to make himself something anyway!
I will say, fruit is not a very filling snack and teens need a lot of food. However, a 12 year old is old enough to make themself a sandwich. I'm on grandma's side for sure
Additionally if he eats the snack and still complains that he's starving, thats one thing, but if he won't even eat that he can't really be hungry enough to justify speaking to his grandma like that
Kids parents can send snacks with the kid. When he eats it is up to him. Caregiver cooks meals on well known schedulr.
He's 12? I missed that part..Oh Hell No!
Mom can start packing a "lunch" AKA after school snack, supper ect. for lil Timmy
Nta. Growing up it was , dinner is ready when it’s ready. If you’re hungry before, get a snack and wait. Now that I’m an adult and cooking for myself, I can’t imagine telling someone “I’m hungry now so change your plans for me”. The kid is 12 so he knows better but was not raised to be better
If the kid isn’t hungry enough to grab a healthy snack then they aren’t actually hungry.
Nope. If they can't deal with you offering healthy snacks then they can go find another babysitter. These parents need to stop just giving into children's demands. The child was not starving. And a matter of a couple hours will not hurt them.
So, they rejected free babysitting over a piece of fruit. Fast forward 10 years and they're wondering why their "little angel" is screaming at them and tearing up the house because they didn't get their way. 😂
The kid had autism and a sensory issue with fruit
@@KenberlyJones So? That doesn't mean you give in to his demand to make him dinner when he wants it. You give him a different healthy snack.
Absolutely not a bad guy! U were 100 percent correct!
My reply, if you don’t like how I take care of your children, then look after them yourself, or you can hire someone to care for them. Since I’m not getting paid, I will cook dinner when I’m ready and if your child can’t have a snack, well you get your ass home and feed them yourself. You deluded people. Snacks are a way of getting through to meal time, you don’t like how I care for the children, fine. Goodbye.
I suggest using this or something similar to get your point across that you don’t have to be doing any of that, and you will make dinner when you’re ready, snacks have always been a solid option for children, to have before lunch or dinner. Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
Darn it, had to re-read the entire comment with an Australian accent
@kerrynicholls6683 haha I agree Im from the philippines and my mom has a saying. (Gonna say it in tagalog then english) " ayaw mo ang luto ko o pagkain na binibigay sayo tumingala ka sa langit" / "you dont like what i'm cooking or food i'm giving you, look to the sky." My mom will not cater to you if you dont eat what is given to you. You dont like it, starve. Or she will piont you to the kitchen "ayaw mo pagkain ko, magluto ka ng sarili mong ulam kung may masunog ka kakainin mo parin yon"/ you dont want my food, go cook for yourself. If you burn you WILL eat it"
And people wonder why teachers are quitting.
What crappy parents... I feel bad for OP for raising such idiots, but if you don't raise your kids properly, you have to raise your grandkids...
I mean, he raised thos ungrateful sons/daughters and they still turned out awful 😂
@@profchaos91 It sounds like she didn't raise her kids, it sounds like she let her kids run amuck and she's letting her grandkids do the same. 😂
Tbf that's not always the case, sometimes u can do everything right but they still end up being bad people
@@mang0_cat444Exactly. Parents don't control every aspect of their kids' personalities. It's almost as if kids are people and not robots... lol
@@cuculain78 yea I def think it can be both things
A twelve year old child can fix himself some food.
If you're not hungry enough to eat fruit, you're not that hungry. Plain and simple.
Bullshit
This is complete bullshit, even my grandparents did know that and because of this gave us bread with butter and fruits
You are a bullshit@@cary9479
In the original post it's mentioned that the kid is autistic with an eating disorder and fruit is a sensory issue. Unsafe foods can make autistic people throw up
NTA, my gramma would say "get some food yourself if you're so damn hungry" (sorry for cussing)
So, some kids go through growth spurts which causes them to be a bit more hingry at odd hours. Same as teens. So it was reasonable to for him to ask for food. However, kids dont often know when they are hungry or full. So hinger is just hunger. Its not like you completely refused, you offered an alternative where then they got picky. Fruit was a very good suggestion. There are other ideas such as small celery sticks with peanut butter. The peanut butter might help curb that hunger for a bit.
“You feed my kid!”
Like is that fruit a joke to you? I don’t like a lot of fruits but if I was “starving” I know I’d eat it
I can kinda get not wanting fruit, but I also would be willing to eat a snack in general...cheese n crackers? toast? egg? Ya gotta know how to cook and egg by 12..
The audacity of that child. Like I swear. When I was 12, hell, even at 11, I’d make dinners for myself because my mother would come home late due to work.
The kid is capable of making a snack for himself, and if he skipped lunch, he should’ve been able to communicate that.
The kid saying “make me dinner now” makes me so pissed too. Like the disrespect, especially to your grandma. No way in hell would I let that fly. Like this kid will grow up to be a shit who can’t do anything for himself with his mother enabling him.
Op, NTA. If your other kids are not making you the babysitter, enjoy the extra time for yourself.
Like I’m honestly astounded at the rudeness of the child. Op, as a young adult myself, growing up, my parents have been divorced for around 15-16 years. And when I’d go to my mom’s house, I’d cook food for myself (usually just things in pots like soups, pasta and mac’n cheese,) because my mom would get home late, and wouldn’t be able to cook for me.
And my mom worked her ass off to get to where she is, so as a young adult, I don’t mind that I did that, and same when I was a child. I’d make soup for my mom when she was sick. And I’m no fucking great cook, but the point stands that a 12 year old is 100% self sufficient enough to make or get themselves a snack.
He was not starved, from what you said. It would be different if you had no other snacks lying around, but fruits are a snack that 100% will hold a person over until dinner.
Either way, NTA.
Bro, if my future kids ever did that to my mom, I don't know what I'd do. Nothing extreme or corporal, but still
And that’s when you say “If you don’t like how I babysit, you find a new person to watch your kids NOW. I won’t be back next week”. PERIOD.
OP needs to see that for the blessing it is.
guess they're kissing their babysitting gig goodbye
"To eat some fruits if they're hungry?"
**the background**
Eating dinner at 6 is very late. My mum always made sure we had dinner ready when we came back from school at 4, and maybe a light snack after that. Eating so late isn’t healthy.
Parents should supply a lunch bag. That is what I would do.
If a child is hungry or thirsty and you offer them food or a drink and they decline? They aren’t genuinely hungry or thirsty. They just want what they want.
you're the grandma yet they treat you like a maid. NTA
I agree with the grandparents. You raised the parents so you kinda know a little more than you daughter.
EAT FRUIT OR STARVE TILL 6PM. END OF STORY
This doesn't make any sense, children where raised really wrong in our history, because they didn't know better and grandparents are often in the age where there wasn't that much information about how you should raise a child and what they really need. To have dinner to specific times is proven to not be the right way, butto change it to when they are hungry.
@Puppylyn23 If you teach the children to stop when they aren't hungry anymore, this won't be a problem, thos is exactly the problem, that often childten don't learn to hear on their hunger, so that they know when they need food and when to stop and this comes from a food specialist, that I know. And snacjs can be great, if this are things the children like and if you don't force children to eat fruits and vegetables, they will eat it voluntary
@Puppylyn23 This is exactly why it is wrong, because they don't learn to feel their hunger, so they don't know when to eat and when to stop, you shouldn't teach them to eat after a schedule, but to feel ehen they are hungry and need to eat and when not and they stop to feel it, when they have to eat after a schedule and makes it more likely that they then will eat more than they would have needed and it makes appetite attacks much more likely. You should have the food ready when they are hungry, but start to cook, so they learn to wait, but also to feel their hunger and to work with it, snacks are for when you have a little appetite and not for when you are hungry even less snacks that you don't like. What you wrote is svientificly proven to be wrong, it will help to not write what you think is right, but what is scientific proven to be right. Why can my grandparents do it, but not you. What you wrote is only true if you don't teach them to stop when they aren't hungry anymore, to learn when you have to eat and when you have to stop to eat are two thing that you have to learn and not with schedules, but with learning to feel your hunger
In the original post it's mentioned that the kid is autistic with an eating disorder and fruit is a sensory issue
@Puppylyn23 yeah, imo it was kind of a crucial part of the story
Lmao yeah, Oma isnt baby sitting anymore - right up until they need a babysitter lmao.
Reminds me of my granddaughter being outraged because she demanded i turn the heat up high because she was cold. I told her to put on some socks and a long sleeved sweater first...man the stomping feet and clenched fists. Fortunately, my son's response was, and I used to put on a hat when I was cold 😂😂😂😂. Cold winter day in a bathing suit, of course you're cold. Kiddos 😂😂😂
“eat some fruit!!!”
massive amounts of candy in the background
As my mother said:"you only are hungry when you will eat something you dont like to ear, if you wont eat that - you arent really that hungry"
I stand by those words.
I feel like asking to start dinner early is not an unreasonable request. You want what you want, and if he wasn't in the mood for fruit, then okay. It wasn't great that Tim took it so personally, but the way I see it, being hangry happens to the best of us. I would maybe try to reach a compromise and keep a larger variety of more filling snacks around. Nta, I don't know very much about what was going on with them that day, but starting dinner just a couple hours early does seem like a strange hill to die on.
how to spoil your kids and teach them they can get WHATEVER they want WHENEVER they want: quick tutorial
He can have a snack and wait.
My step mother on the other hand wouldn’t even let me have a snack as a kid after not being able to eat on a car ride (motion sickness) for 4 hours when I was little.
For me it depends on what fruits, if there were fruits they like, or only ones they don't like and absolutely don't want to eat, because forcing them to eat them when they are hungry, isn't the right ting to do and even can cause eating disorders in the long run
"If my grandson thinks that he deserves dinner when he demands, stanping his foot like a little prince, then perhaps it's best his mother finds more... Accommodatimg methods, as I will not be told when to make dinner in my own home."
I bet mom will change her tune fairly quickly when she realizes how expensive babysitting is and goes back to free babysitting from her parents
On demand feeding stops when they’re toddlers.😂
You are right, but not because it is the right thing
They'll be back, as soon as they realise how much the extra babysitting costs
Let them pay for a babysitter 😂😂 the audacity
Im 13 and rarely see my grandparent as they live 12 hours away i love them very much and always help with cleaning when me and my siblings are visiting and eat when they eat .The point is always be kind to your grandparents.❤
you should have given him that big bowl of lollies
I feel like if he was really hungry and didn't want something sweet, OP could've offered some toast for example, a snack that is a bit filling. But if dinner is at 6, dinner is at 6. Your grandparents are not your servants and you don't have to jump whenever you want them to.
NAH. You offered something they said no. Obviously the kid wasnt that hungry.
In the original post it's mentioned that the kid is autistic with an eating disorder and fruit is a sensory issue. Please be understanding because unsafe foods can make us throw up
"I could alternatively just stop babysitting for you all"
Bro she will make dinner when she makes dinner being hungry for a few hours has never killed anyone 💀
NTA! She lost her damn mind. If she wants someone to wait on her kids hand and foot. She needs to pay for a nanny period. I WOULD NOT babysit for her anymore.
NTA 😂 My mom used to tell us “If you’re hungry eat something healthy. If you don’t want to then you’re not really hungry because someone who is hungry eats anything not just a specific thing/junk food. And if not, drink some water maybe you’re thirsty. Sometimes we mistake thirst for hunger.”
Not true, if they are starving they would eat everything, not because they are really hungry, this are two different things
"if one kid wants food now, then make food now"
Okay. If I'm not babysitting your kids, I'm not babysitting anyone's kids
Dawg ain't no way I was saying no to my grandma when she offered some apple slices. She got the good apples too, Fuji.
NTA . Tell your adult children to be there and have dinner ready for their children when you get home.
NTA. Those parents sure are setting their kids up for failure. I can understand if a kid has stomach issues or something (I learned as a kid that I better eat when I'm hungry or I will feel like throwing up for the rest of the night and not get anything to eat), but even then, they were offered something. OP shouldn't have to drop everything and make the food way earlier.
Why isn’t a twelve year old making his own after-school snack?
NTA, its not like you wouldnt let them eat ANYTHING, it was his choice to refuse a snack...
NTA! They’re lucky to have you and are taking you for granted
She literally tried to feed him, he chose not to eat his snack. NTA
Sounds like daughter is going have to look for a new babysitter…
A piece of fruit doesn't cut it when I am hungry.
I would bet some serious money that they are going to change their minds when they have to spend more time with their kids.
NTA
If they don't eat it, guess they're not really hungry
The grandma offered the kids a snack, I get it sometimes being around food and cooking you get a bit peckish so I would get a small snack while cooking
My granny also took care of me when my parents where working, I'm baffled, the simple thought of asking something to her made me uncomfortable because it was not my home, I only took the things she wanted to offer me, they need to learn some manners, they're entitled (sorry, English it's not my first language)
I remember coming home from school hungry af as a kid. Sometimes it was because I hadn't eaten my lunch (because I didn't like it) or I guess my body just used up all the energy running around during recess.
Mom usually had dinner ready when my brother and I got home at around 3:30pm. So our dinner was usually 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm on weekdays.
That also allowed plenty of time to do homework or play afterwards until 8:00pm - 9:00pm when we'd have our late evening snacks (usually just toasted buttered bread and milk) before bed at 10:00pm.
NTA. If they want their kids to be able to have snacks with more protein, they can always keep pre-packaged food like granola bars or uncrustables on hand, or teach their kids to make sth like a pb&j.
I once heard someone say “kids need to be raised with just a little bit of hunger and a little bit of cold”, I think this is what they mean. That kid was being a brat…
Wow…those mothers need to take parenting lessons and then beg the grandpa for forgiveness. Oh and the boy needs to apologize too.
My rule is you can always have water, fruit/veggies, yogurt or pretzels. Other than that, you can wait until meal time.
Dinner at 4 will have everyone hungry at night.
Why don’t believe this even happened. Cus boy, you better get away from me with that noise.
Make dinner now, couple hours later, nan I'm hungry, same argument, eat fruit, you've had your dinner... mum nan starved me
NTA. Those kids are spoiled as hell and refuse babysit for your kids anymore if they’re going to be that way. You’re their parent so you don’t have to take that from them. If they want be pissy let them be.
I wouldn’t have even offered the snack. My kids don’t eat dinner if they have snacks. You’re supposed to be hungry before a meal. The entitlement today is insane.
You eat when you are hungry... I will never understand these time-restricted meal plans.
NTA but I don’t fruit is always the most filling option I would see they’re reaction to something like penut butter or something
A few days ago our two great granddaughters stayed the night. I made a small lasagne for dinner, the younger one said she didn’t want any. So I set the table for three, she came out and said, “Where’s my food?” I told her she didn’t want any. She changed her mind and had some. She’s just three so I wouldn’t let her go hungry.
NTA if they're hungry they can have fruit for a snack. I bet you if you had junk food for them they wouldn't be complaining.
Then refuse to babysit until they apologize
I feel like if ALL of the kids are agreeing, theres more to the story
Parents treating kids like the world revolves around them is the reason why society is crumbling these days
Them talking about fruit while the videos all about candy
Grandmas are clearly lacking the slipper threat nowadays
I am so glad that my daughter was never like this. She was so thankful to me for watching her kids for free that she never acted entitled.
You get what you get and you don't throw a fit.
NTA If the kid was that hungry they'd have eaten the fruit. Clearly the parents of the kids are raising spoilt brats
I could have not eaten all day and if I’m offered something I don’t like, you think I’m gonna eat it?🤣
Hell nah, more likely to make me vomit
those adults raised a bunch of brats
If he was really hungry he would’ve eaten some fruit lmao. NTA
NTA from now on they can keep their own kids. If those kids were in any after school program or a daycare center the same rules would apply, so tell her to teach her entitled kids that life doesn’t work on command like that & they better get use to disappointment or they’ll be in for a rude awakening
