Any the office now wants to organize a meal train.
AITA for thinking hmm you made your bed figure out how to manage all those kids you wanted to be blessed with alone and not contributing to the meal train


What do their politics have to do with a meal train?

Do not visit the sins of the parents unto the children. If the kids can eat better with a meal train, do the meal train. Regardless of their parents' beliefs (which I heartily disapprove of).

I would not.

You can congratulate them to be civil and that's enough.

Then let the MAGA parents take care of their blessings.

No one brought or made me food when I had a baby, nor did I desire for them to. I can order or make what I want on my own.

Because it's a nice thing to do? Why have baby showers? Or give gifts at a wedding reception? Or give a birthday present?

No. You are not. I agree with you and would not contribute a cent or lift a single finger to help

I wouldn't participate, but others may want to, and that is fine. But I generally don't do meal trains unless someone is ill and has kids to feed. Just not my thing.

Have they ever had one before? If this is the first one, I'd contribute a meal.
