Any parent will know the struggle of trying to get their children to eat healthily.
In a bid to ensure his kids were getting some nutrients, one dad resorted to crafty tactics, much to the dismay of his wife.
She labelled him an “a**hole” for “tricking them into eating something they have been very clear about not liking”, but he argued that he was simply looking out for their wellbeing and wanted to make sure they were having “good meals”.
The father took to Reddit‘s ‘Am I The A**hole’ forum to seek advice on whether he was in the wrong for serving his children mushroom soup without them knowing what it was. He posted: “My children are not allergic to mushrooms. My children love cream of mushroom soup. My kids hate the texture of mushrooms. When my wife uses canned mushroom soup in a recipe she will strain out the mushrooms for the kids.
“But when I use mushroom soup in a recipe I run it through the blender. The pieces are so little that they have no texture. The kids don’t complain about it and I don’t waste time. My wife seems to think that I’m being an a**hole because I’m tricking them into eating something they have been very clear about not liking.
“I asked if she would rather eat a fistful of raw flour or a slice of bread. Preparation makes a difference. I think we are both trying to make sure that the kids eat a good meal we just go about it different ways.”
