Mikes lunchtime rebellion began when his dad remarried a woman with 3 young kids.
Mikes dad and stepmom decided it was theteensresponsibility to preparelunchesfor his 3 stepsiblings, not just to feed himself.
But Mikes parents didnt stop there.
For Mike, this was more than a disagreement over assemblingsandwiches it was a search for independence and respect.
But his dear old dad and stepmom are not only asking him to feed their 3 young kids.
They are demanding that he cook dinner for the entire family, from his own money.
This wasnt a one-time oversight it happened repeatedly, with teachers stepping in to feed the kids.
As expected, Mikes stepmom blamed him, accusing the 16-year-old of being selfish for not feeding his stepsiblings.
True to their usual entitled behavior, they demanded that Mike cook dinner for his siblings.
When Mike refused to prepare 3 extra meals, his stepmom exploded.
Despite Mikes familial fallout, there are plenty of good reasons to get kids to learn how to cook.
It teaches them patience, because cooking has its own timeline and cant be rushed.

Netizens stand behind Mike, condemning his parents for having unreasonable demands and neglecting their kids.
