While Staying At Her Sister’s House, Her Teen Daughter Was Asked To Help Out In A Pinch By Preparing Pizza And Peanut Butter Sandwiches For Dinner, But She Told Her Sister Off For Trying To Use Her Daughter As A “Private Chef”
This forty-two-year-old woman’s home is currently undergoing some renovations. So, in the meantime, she and her daughter Leah, who is sixteen, have been staying with her twenty-seven-year-old sister Sarah for a few days.
Now, Sarah is also a mom to a three-year-old daughter while pursuing a post-graduate degree and working full-time in a work-from-home position. So, as you can imagine, Sarah’s plate is pretty full.
That means that whenever Sarah has to go to class, the three-year-old normally stays with her grandparents until the classes are over. Then, Sarah picks up the toddler, goes home, and prepares dinner.
Well, that schedule apparently changed after she and her daughter Leah arrived.
It all began one day after she went off to work, and Leah went to high school as usual. Then, by the end of the school day, Leah took the school bus back to Sarah’s house.
At that point, Sarah’s daughter was already being babysat by her grandparents. So, Leah was actually the only one at home and hung out alone for a bit.
A short while later, though, Leah apparently received a text from Sarah– who claimed to be running really late that afternoon. On top of that, Sarah claimed she needed to work on a project all night after getting home.
So, that meant Sarah was unable to make dinner, and Leah was ultimately asked to step up to the plate. According to her, though, Sarah asked a lot of her daughter.
“It was not a heat-up leftovers situation, but a full dinner. Sarah told Leah that she had a pizza base, sauce, etc., and asked her to make the pizza and put it in the oven. Also, to make peanut butter sandwiches for her daughter,” she recalled.

Even at sixteen-years-old, though, Leah apparently had no clue how to do any of that. So, her daughter texted Sarah back and said no, and Sarah reportedly got pretty angry.
Her sister then began texting Leah a few more times, reiterating that all of the ingredients were in the fridge, that the items were super easy to make, and claiming that anybody could do it.
Surprisingly, though, Leah still simply said no to her aunt, and Sarah just never responded to that text.
The drama was just getting started, though, because, by the time she got home, she found Leah pretty upset.
“And Leah told me what happened and that Sarah went off at her,” she said.
Apparently, she sympathized with her daughter after hearing that and honestly got a little mad at her sister Sarah.
She believes that sure, Sarah could ask her daughter for help. However, she does not think Leah should be penalized for feeling uncomfortable with making “a full dinner.”
So, once Sarah finally arrived home, she told her sister that her daughter was pretty distraught. Then, she kind of told Sarah off.
“[I said that] she has no right going off at my daughter and that she is delusional if she thinks Leah is her personal chef,” she vented. Yikes!
And, of course, Sarah became pretty furious with her after that. So, following the argument, she and her sister did not really talk much.
She and Leah also left the next day to go back to their house anyway.
She has tried to call Sarah since then, though, and her sister has not picked up the phone. So, even though she does not believe she is in the wrong for defending her daughter, she has been left wondering if calling her sister delusional and claiming that her daughter is not a “personal chef” makes her a jerk.
Do you think sixteen-year-olds should be able to make a basic pizza or even just a peanut butter sandwich? Since she and Leah were guests in Sarah’s home for a few days, might it have been nice if Leah helped her aunt out instead of saying no? Do you think Sarah was really trying to use Leah as a “personal chef?” If you had been in her shoes, how would you have handled this situation?
