He Refused To Bake His Obese Younger Sister A Cake For Her Birthday
A 21-year-old man adores doing things in the kitchen like baking and cooking. His mom was the one who taught him how to bake and cook, and when they did this together it really was their “bonding” time.
His mom really was one wonderful baker, and his mom always made different kinds of desserts for their family.
A year ago, his mom sadly passed away at 57-years-old from “complications related to her obesity.”
Now that his mom is gone, he’s the one who mostly cooks for their family if he is home from college. If he’s not home to cook, his dad will simply buy fast food for his sisters or his dad will purchase dinners that can be heated up in the microwave.
One of his sisters is going to be celebrating her 18th birthday soon, and he planned to go back home to see her.
“This is the first birthday without my mom and I’m expected to make my sister’s favorite cake,” he explained.
“The only issue with this is that I feel very uncomfortable doing this for her. My sister is turning 19 and she’s 370lbs.”
“Objectively speaking, unless she was 6’3 and some type of powerlifter, she would be considered unhealthy.”
After their mom passed away, he’s done his best to convince his little sister to be more healthy with her eating habits, as he’s scared for her.

Although he’s seriously concerned about his sister, his dad is not. His dad did mention taking his sister to a doctor who insisted she had to work on exercising and eating better, but that has not happened at all.
He feels that his whole family has no interest in being healthy at all, and that’s impacting his sister’s unwillingness to change.
Since his family won’t change, he has started refusing to make them food if it doesn’t fall into a healthy category.
His family really has no interest in eating well, so he hasn’t been making much food for them at all.
He thinks that his sister had some kind of expectation that he would change his mind for her birthday, and she actually phoned him up to request a cake.
He told his sister that he would not be making her a birthday cake at all, unless she wanted to pick a healthy recipe.
“She got pissed at me and told me I was being selfish and she deserved to have some sweets on her birthday,” he said.
“I told her that she hasn’t been making any changes in her diet and I’m not going to contribute to her eating herself to death. She called me selfish and hung up.”
Yesterday, he got home and his dad has been all over him to make his sister’s birthday cake.
“He also called me selfish and told me that a few slices of cake aren’t going to hurt her any more than a single meal was,” he continued.
“I told them no. I said I’d be willing to find a healthy dessert recipe and make that for them, but they didn’t want that. So now everyone hates me when I just care about her health.”
How do you think he can get his family to see his side here?
