Family dinners are supposed to bring everyone together, but sometimes they turn into battlegrounds. For me, the tension started with something as simple as a plate of food. My 10-year-old son is a picky eater, and while I’ve learned to work around that, my wife has grown increasingly frustrated. What should have been a simple St. Patrick’s Day gathering with her family turned into a dramatic showdown—one that ended with me walking out of the party with our son, leaving my wife behind.

Time to see how Reddit weighs in on this drama.
Now my wife and I aren’t speaking, and her family has been bombarding me with angry messages. I don’t regret protecting my son when he was clearly distressed, but the fallout has been intense. I can’t help but wonder: was I wrong for standing up to my wife and leaving her behind, or was I right to put my son’s comfort and well-being first?
