Update: My brother apologised and promised to make meals and help out with chores. And somehow even dad agreed to help out. Thank you all for your insights and I really appreciate it.

So I need an outside perspective because my dad says I was cruel, but I honestly feel relieved.

For context:
My dad is in his 50s and has never cooked a meal in his life. My mom does all the cooking, and when she gets angry because she is tired of doing chores all day with cooking he taunts her or complains instead of helping. I’ve been cooking since I was 12, so when my mom doesn’t feel well or is busy, I usually step in.

My brother is 13 and also expects either my mom or me to cook for him. My mom does sometimes tell them to cook, but she always gives in and ends up doing it herself, so nothing ever changes.

Recently, my mom went out of town for 3 days. I decided I wasn’t going to enable this anymore. I made my dad and brother cook for themselves for the first time ever.

Important detail:
I didn’t leave them with nothing. Rice and quinoa were already cooked. They only had to make:

1. 2 omelettes

2. fried potatoes

So… very basic food.

They did manage to cook it. Nobody starved. Nothing got ruined.

But my dad absolutely lost it. He scolded me and said I was “four times worse than my mom”. He acted like I’d done something unforgivable.

Meanwhile, I actually feel relieved because for once I didn’t cover for their behavior or take on responsibility that shouldn’t be mine.

So… AITA for forcing them to cook instead of doing it myself like always?
