“So my mom's (65) friend (58f) came over this morning to stay for a couple of days from a long distance. And currently I (23m) am responsible to look after my nephew (13m) since my sis (48) doesn't care about him,” he wrote. In the next few lines he added how his mom’s friend called his nephew stupid for not eating parsley. That is when the uncle acted and told the woman that she has no right to school his nephew.

“She called a child STUPID for having a preference??! NTA at all. She found out the hard way you can’t just talk to people’s kids any kind of way,” posted a Reddit user. “An adult called a child stupid. She’s lucky she wasn’t shown the door,” commented another. “She was out of line and you defended your nephew,” joined a third. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall parsley being known for its vitamin content?? It’s literally just there for flavour. And she doesn’t know your nephew. And she can stfu. You were defending someone who is essentially your kid. Would I have worded it differently? Yes. But I wouldn’t have been any more polite lol,” wrote a fourth.
