AITA for assuming my daughter could have a 3rd plate?

Although the user saw no harm in their daughter having another plate after a long day of work, their sister, who hosted the dinner, was upset and thought it was rude.

When more family members chimed in, the situation escalated, leaving the Redditor wondering if they should have handled it differently. Read the full story below to see how things unfolded:

The mom should have asked the hostess before telling the child yes without asking. Never assume even with family.

First I cannot imagine treating one of my nieces or nephews like guests in my home. Second… an informal dinner where she made lots of food?
For who? What kind of family is this??
