Should you thank your mother for making dinner? Obviously!
It’s not so obvious to everyone, though. Some people see that as a given, and don’t go out of their way to say thanks for the things that their parents do for them. It’s something that you have to learn, but should stay with you for your whole life. It’s not easy to be a parent. And making dinner every night should not be a given. It’s a huge undertaking for anyone, even a parent. Have you ever tried to make dinner every single night of the week? It could easily turn into a full time job, even if you’re just doing it for yourself. If you’re making dinner for your whole family, it’s a huge to-do. You have to plan, shop, prep, cook, and probably clean up. That takes almost the whole day, and that’s just for one meal. In this story, shared to the AITAH subreddit, a family was going through this quandary.
