r/AITA: Woman stops feeding negligent breeder's kid, now she's the asshole
November 13, 2022
And the other child's Moo gets shitty with the author for daring to cut off her pweshus from his free lunches. Other Redditors are saying the author is an asshole too because she cut the mooching brat off cold turkey and for not alerting the school or CPS to this very obvious neglect.

This is why it's a bad idea to give breeders and their kids free shit. They come to expect it and when they lose it, they act like they are entitled to it. I know we had a thread here discussing this recently. But man you gotta have some fucking nerve bitching at someone for no longer feeding your child for you because they CAN'T AFFORD TO ANYMORE.

This situation began a year ago and blew up in our faces last week.

My son Gregory is 13 years old. He just began the 8th grade. His friend, Peter, is also 13 and began the 8th grade too.

Gregory and Peter have been friends since elementary school. Last year, I noticed that Gregory would be ravenously hungry after school every day. He would come home and eat a frozen dinner or something, and then help himself to seconds at dinner time. I chalked this up to him being a 12-year-old boy and let it be.

Something about the situation was nagging at me though, and while Gregory wasn't clear about why at first, he eventually came clean. Peter was being sent to school every day with no lunch. It looks to me like a typical case of neglectful and unfit parents. The one time that Gregory went to their house he came home with comments about it smelling really bad and his Peter's parents locking themselves in the garage for hours.

Feeling bad for Peter, I decided to discretely begin giving Gregory more food every day, just about doubling all his food. Over time I became less discrete and began packing a separate lunch for Peter. I was never thanked for this by anyone, but I knew Peter was eating the food I sent.

This year, things are different. Money is tighter for personal reasons and frankly with how expensive things are, I have decided not to spend exorbitant amounts of money supporting someone else's child. I sat Gregory down and told him that I would be packing him one lunch which is for him and him alone. I made it extremely clear: do not share with anyone, and this includes Peter.

Gregory followed my instructions until one day last week I got a phone call from Peter's mother. She was livid that I had cut Peter off without a single word. I asked her when it became my responsibility to feed her son, and she responded that if she had known I wasn't sending Gregory to school with "too much food," she would have handled it herself. I asked if she remembered why I began sending him to school with two lunches in the first place and she hung up on me.

I feel conflicted. I know I'm having my kindness thrown back in my face, but did I approach this situation incorrectly?
The mother should have sent a note with her son to give to the hungry child to pass to his mother, so the child wouldn't starve due to being cut off 'with no notice', and this is why Reddit lost its shit. I agree that the mother shouldn't have to do this, but Reddit is a breeder corral and that is how they think.

I do think the school should be informed about the child's situation, as it isn't the kid's fault his parents aren't worth shit.

This is why you don’t get involved with other people’s kids, because now the entire situation is OP’s problem. If she stops feeding the kid, she has to deal with angry moo. If she gets CPS involved, moo will probably guess it was her, and she’ll have to deal with angry moo. If something happens to the kid and it gets out that she knew there were issues in the home, everyone will blame her for not doing enough to stop it.

It especially sucks because the kid is the one who suffers most. He didn't ask to be born and it's not his fault his parents aren't feeding him, and all he was finally able to not go hungry because of the kindness of the author. Not that this means the author should be expected to feed this kid indefinitely, but just saying it probably sucks from his perspective. It probably also sucks from the author's kid's viewpoint having to tell his friend "I can't give you any food" and then his friend has to watch him eat when he's likely hungry.

Sounds like the parents are probably junkies if they lock themselves in the garage for hours on end and they're likely spending money on drugs rather than food for their kid.

Doesn't the school have a reduced/poor lunch? Surely someone at the school could hook the kid up with a peanut butter sandwich and milk if his sperm and egg donors are too lazy to feed him. I'd say the author should call CPS anyway, but I know that a kid has to pretty much be in pieces before they'll investigate.

It would have been better to just not feed this kid in the first place. I know it's mean, but you cannot show breeders kindness because they will take advantage of you at every turn. Next the breeder would have been expecting the author to provide her kid with school supplies, clothing, toys, etc. and then bitching about it when that didn't happen.
I'd think this kid needs to do something drastic, because he won't find help.

I agree. If she helps out she will be the asshole the minute she stops. If she reports the parunts then she will be the asshole. The only way to not be the asshole is to stay completely out of the situation. It makes no sense but that is the way breeders think.
