Tasked with feeding three picky children, he faced a challenge that went beyond mere babysitting—it was a test of love, creativity, and the unspoken bond between food and family.
As the days unfolded, the kitchen became a battleground where vegetables were no longer foes but allies in disguise, blended seamlessly into meals that the children devoured without hesitation.
In this unassuming act, he transformed mealtime into a moment of connection, proving that sometimes, nourishment feeds the soul as much as the body.

The original poster (OP) is caught between honoring his family role by helping his sister and maintaining appropriate boundaries regarding his time and culinary sk**ls.
The central conflict stems from the sister viewing the OP's cooking as an unpaid, ongoing familial obligation rather than a service that was temporarily provided and compensated for.
Is the OP being an unreasonable brother and uncle by refusing to provide daily, free, custom meal preparation for his sister's picky children, or is the sister demanding an unsustainable level of free labor under the guise of family support?
