One woman found herself utterly furious after her husband deliberately ate her son's (his stepson) leftover food after she wouldn't allow their daughter to eat any. The woman took to Reddit to vent about the situation and to see if other users thought she was in the wrong for flipping out on her husband, and even going as far as to call him a pig.
The woman defends herself before getting into the story.
"I don't think I'm an AH, honestly," the post starts out. "However, literally everyone I've spoken to is against me on this because 'it's just food, I would never make someone feel like [expletive] over food, blah blah'. So, here I am."
Let's get into some details.
The woman shares that she's 30 years old and has a 13-year-old son named Colby, whom she shares with her ex-husband. She has remarried and she and her second husband share a 9-year-old daughter.

Her son visited his father in Japan.
"Last year my son desperately wanted to go to Japan because his father currently lives there and my son had been there multiple times for visits during the summer and fell in love with it," the post read. "He begged me to let him live with his dad for a year and while it broke my fn heart and gave me extreme anxiety, I agreed. I couldn't say no. He went there for a year and came back home in August of this year."
Colby missed the Japanese cuisine once he returned home.
Her son ended up really missing a lot of the food he'd experienced while living in Japan. "So I went through a few websites, got a hold of his dad, etc and I was able to get some of the ingredients and recipes shipped out to me. His favorite one is some type of noodles with a dark brown spicy sauce. I can't remember the name off the top of my head but since it's his favorite, I have his father send me out the noodles and sauce so my son can prepare it for himself at home, as well as buying him the fresh ingredients needed."
The daughter asked for some of her brother's food, but he wouldn't share.
One day, the woman's daughter asked Colby if she could have some of his food, to which he said no because of the fact that he let her try it before and she wasted it, saying it was too spicy.
The husband tried to force Colby to share, so the wife stepped in.
"Before my daughter could even respond, my husband pipes up with 'give her some, there's no reason why you can't share'. So I stepped in and said no, and that she's already had it and threw it in the trash and this is his food. He doesn't have to share his food. He just kind of walks off."
The next day, the son's food was gone.
So the next day, the son woke up to find that his noodles were gone. And guess what? The husband ate them. "I asked why TF he would do that and he said 'because I wanted to'. To me this felt like a big '[expletive] you' because I told him my son didn't have to share his food, so I did lose it. He did this on purpose. I just know it."
The woman flipped out on her husband.
"I told him he was a [expletive] pig on a power trip and he should be ashamed of himself for eating my son's food. He says I'm ridiculous and I'm an AH for calling him a pig (because he's overweight) simply because he was hungry and wanted to eat. Everyone else says I'm an AH too, as I said. AITA?"
Reddit users shared their thoughts.
"This was 100% a power trip, and you should be on the lookout for other ways he’s mistreating your son," someone said in part.
"NTA," another user commented. "This isn’t a husband oopsie getting hungry, this is psychological warfare."
