Family drama can get ugly when money, food, and kids are involved. What started as a simple babysitting arrangement between me and my sister-in-law spiraled into a full-blown feud after my daughter was shamed for eating food in their home. I thought I was helping out by paying her fairly and sending food along for my child, but one incident has left everyone in the family divided, and now I’m being told I’m the one in the wrong.

Let’s find out what other Redditors think about this story.
Looking back, I can admit my daughter ate far more than expected, and yes, it created a strain on my SIL’s already limited resources. But as the adult in the room, I don’t think humiliating a child was the right way to handle the situation. My mom believes I should have been more mindful of my daughter’s appetite and even offered to buy groceries for my SIL. I, however, feel strongly that no matter the circumstances, my child’s dignity should come first. So, was I justified in cutting my SIL off from babysitting, or did I let my emotions override compassion for her struggles?
