'AITA For eating fries that 'weren't mine'?'
"AITA For eating fries that 'weren't mine'?"
So I (50m) went to get some fast food today and my (17f) daughter is upset with me. I'm on a diet so I need to watch what I eat (diabetic) and I opted to get a grilled chicken sandwich meal.
That meal comes with fries. I said I didn't want them because I shouldn't have them, so my daughter asked if she could have them instead of them going to waste. I told her yes she could and she asked if I could get her a special sauce too, which I did.
When I got in the car, I only wanted a few just for on the road, so I ate about maybe 4-5 of the larger waffle fries in the carton, but left her a solid 1/3 of the rest. When I showed up and handed her the bag with her portion of the fries...
she was visibly disappointed and accused me of being the 'AH' because they were HERS she specifically requested and I shouldn't have eaten them, also because I was sick and could DIE. But she was being dramatic.
She said there were barely any in there (I checked, there were a good 2-3 big fries with the rest being crumbled a bit). AITA here?
Edit:
Also I wanted to comment that I didn't offer to go back and get her more, only because it's such a long drive away, and I don't feel like I had to given they came with my meal in the first place.
Let's see what internet users had to say.

YTA. Are you actually a child that doesn’t understand telling someone “yes I’ll give you my fries” means you’re giving them the order of fries? Like sure if you ate 1/10th of the fries nobody would care or even notice but you literally ate the vast majority of them. Of course you’re the asshole.

YTA. He really needs to take his diabetes seriously. I worked at a podiatrist as a medical assistant. And let me tell you, those patients who were noncompliant with their diets often ended up in our office with some disguised festering wounds that would take months to heal if they followed the rules.
YTA - you told her you were bringing her fries and then you ate most of them. Why even set someone up for disappointment like that?
