33-year-old man refuses to help sister after she ridiculed his parenting, he demands she apologize before giving advice: “You’re holding your help hostage”

Welcome to Cheezcake, ladies and gentlemen. Everyone has some sort of gripe with their family. Even if you're close with your mom, best friends with your dad, and are roommates with your sibling, family is not always going to be perfect. We're close to family, even if we're not. They know our ins and outs, they have seen us in our best and worst states, they've seen us from children to adolescents, to adults. The intimacy in families can't be ignored even if you don't spend a lot of time together. They know you like the back of your hand. Being this intimate usually means that hard times come up more often.

In the story below, the protagonist is a man whose sister has made scathing comments about his parenting. He has a little girl, and he never wanted food to be a huge issue in their lives. He lets his daughter eat what she wants, and to avoid what she doesn't. His sister, however, feels as though he should be more controlling about food, causing tension between them.

AITA for refusing to help my sister come up with ways to feed her picky eater until she apologizes to me and my wife for calling us bad parents who were failing their kids?

This woman sounds insane. Why does she care if her child (or anyone else's) eats three bites of each food? It's only going to make the kid develop an eating disorder, and she can see already her idiotic parenting plan completely backfiring on her. If she wasn't so controlling then maybe her child would eat.
