There IS being a picky eater and then there is being criminally irrational.
A FED UP woman has spoken out about her stepdaughter’s lawsuit against her when she discovered what was fueling her.
Editor HatNo7106 shared the family drama in a post.
She explained that her 15-year-old stepdaughter, who lives with her and her husband every other week, has developed a strange obsession with food.
“For the past year, she has been a nightmare when it comes to food,” she said.
“First, she became vegan, which I have no problem with. I just make her food without animal products, but that hasn’t caught on, and that’s normal too.
“Now she is holistic and started to be allergic to everything. Salty nuts, lactose, processed foods, gluten, red meat, mustard, mushrooms and anything that a loser Instagram influencer is making money by telling people is dangerous.”
The last straw, she said, came when her stepdaughter began demanding that she sort out the kitchen utensils, even in the dishwasher.
The stepdaughter’s obsession only got worse.
“Separate food into the refrigerator and freezer,” she said.
“Take out all my salted nuts and sugars etc and throw them in the trash because she complained of stomach pains which she attributed to pantry contamination.”
She explained that she put her foot down, but to no avail.
“I told her she should eat out or cook and clean herself from now on. She started to get angry, saying that I was treating her differently from the rest of the family and that I was the evil stepmother,” she said.
“My husband started yelling at me. I asked him to take her to get tested for allergies and get mental help for eating disorders, and surprise, surprise, she didn’t have allergies, but her response was that it doesn’t matter; what does it matter? That’s what she believed.
“I can’t have anything in my house right now and I have to prepare food for her almost in a separate kitchen.”
She began testing her theory that her stepdaughter’s food obsession was suspicious.
For the past year, she has been a nightmare when it comes to food.

“I started putting gluten and lactose in almost everything she ate, especially the chicken soup that she loves so much,” she said.
“She has been eating this for the past 6 months, until one day her mother dropped her off at home and stayed for breakfast, talking about how their health has improved since her daughter’s new cooking rules.
“I just said, ‘Really? Does she feel better?’ The daughter shouted at me: ‘Yes, I don’t have stomach problems anymore.’
“I just said calmly, ‘Great, I wonder what’s changed because you’ve been eating the same food as all of us for the past few months, especially the chicken soup you love so much.’
The truth triggered a tantrum in her stepdaughter, who began throwing items off the shelves.
“Her mother also started shouting at me and they left. My husband got mad at me and called what I did reckless because she’s refusing to live with us now, and I said great, if you want her to live with you, then you might as well get out of here,” she said.
Even worse, her stepdaughter filed a lawsuit against her, but the Redditor explained that she wasn’t worried.
“It will be dropped the minute the judge looks at the case,” she said.
“My husband is still mad at me, but I’m not going to change his mind that if he wants his daughter, he should move out to be with her, and I would really understand if he chose his daughter over me.”
She added that she is a medical professional who knows better than all parties involved.
“I’m a nurse and I work almost 60 hours a week. Making time to make food and clean is a luxury for me, and I’ll be damned if I start following the rules of a superficial teenager with mental problems and delusions,” she said.
People agreed that his course of action was not a mistake.
“Throw the whole family out with the trash… including the husband,” said one commenter.
“You are right in saying that this child needs psychological evaluation with his parents,” said another.
