Current Events > Is it rude not to give children food when they reach for it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My sister thinks so.

Me, my sister, and a few other relatives went out for dinner. I was tired, hungry, and frustrated. The restaurant was downtown. It took us forever to find a parking spot. We had to park like three blocks away from the restaurant! About time we got to the establishment, I was out of breath and my feet hurt. We had to wait 45 minutes to get our table. Not all of us could fit into the tiny booth, the table was pressed against our ribcages. So we had to wait another 15 minutes to get a different table!

When my food finally arrived, I was in heaven. A very large bowl of fettucine alfredo mixed with marinara. The server said it was meant for two people, and even then there should be leftovers. Whatever. I was able to scarf that down and a side order of broccoli. The broccoli was cooked to perfection. It was drenched in butter, salt, and garlic. At my shock, my three year old nephew reached for a large piece of broccoli. I gave him a really stern look, like an Angry Bird. He backed away, thankfully.

But then, my sister blurted out "Brayden wants some broccoli, could you give him some?" I was like "No, it's MINE" My sister got mad and told me I was really rude.

What do you think? Is it rude not to give children food that's not theirs? Especially when they don't ask?

No. Your sister is a moron.

Generally, no it isn't. But what you did was kinda dickish.

I've learned that some people just grow up in an environment where its normal and expected to share your food.

I don't like those people and think they're weird.

Ok

no its just
you just admitted to disliking and finding it weird when people have a natural inclination to share things

that gives off such a Gollum-vs-Ring vibe

Give the kid the food next time.

This is why as soon as the server sets down your food you should lick everything to mark it as yours. Then there's no confusion.

The kid has a mouth and manners, maybe his mother should teach him how to use some before he tries taking food off of someone else's plate again.

I think he was just joking about the guy being worn out from walking three blocks.
