This 25-year-old man and his son, 2, were invited to his 7-year-old godson Tim’s birthday party.

Originally, he wasn’t Tim’s godfather. At first, Tim’s uncle (Tim’s father’s brother) was going to be the godfather.

Tim’s uncle was his best friend, but he tragically received a pancreatic cancer diagnosis and passed away several months afterward.

“One of his wishes was that I would take over as Tim’s godfather, as he wasn’t sure if he was even going to be alive by the time he was born,” he said.

While he adores Tim, he doesn’t have any relation to Tim or his Family, and, unfortunately, there’s always been a lot of tension between him and Tim’s family.

Tim’s family has strong political views that drastically differ from his, and they’ve clashed over their opposing views. Because of these disagreements, Tim’s family doesn’t hang out with him very often.

The only occasions in which he sees Tim are during his birthday and for some holidays, during which Tim’s family is civil toward him but not overly friendly.

Recently, though, it seemed like Tim’s family had had enough of him, and he thinks the reason they got so upset was over something relatively silly.

“Tim is gluten-free for medical reasons. His gluten intolerance is so bad it has landed him in the hospital a few times. On the birthday party invitation, in bold lettering, it said, ‘GLUTEN-FREE PARTY.’ I learned they hired a pizza truck that makes all gluten-free pizzas, and I was honestly excited, as I love trying foods I’ve never had before,” he explained.

He doesn’t usually eat gluten-free food, so he was looking forward to tasting gluten-free foods at the party in order to see what they taste like in comparison to the versions with gluten.

On the day of Tim’s birthday party, his family set up some picnic tables outside. He was sitting with his son at one of the tables with Tim and several of Tim’s family members.

His son started sobbing due to hunger, and he was impatient about the food.

Since he was ready for this type of situation, he had some snacks on hand. He gave his son a bag of Fruit Loops for his son to eat while they waited for the pizza.

Tim’s family members then started glaring at him.

“Pretty soon, Tim was crying because, apparently, Fruit Loops have gluten in them, and whenever he sees food he can’t eat, he has a meltdown. In seven years, this has never been a problem before, maybe because his condition has gotten worse lately. I have no idea. Tim ran to his parents, crying about how I was bragging that I could eat gluten food,” he shared.

After hearing this, Tim’s parents began screaming at him, saying that he ruined Tim’s special day. They added that he was horrible for openly allowing his son to eat food with gluten in it when Tim obviously would never be able to eat something like that.

Tim’s parents continued, telling him that they wished they hadn’t allowed his best friend to persuade them to ask him to be Tim’s godfather.

They demanded that he leave the party, and he refused before eventually relenting. He didn’t think there was a point in continuing to argue with them.

Several days after the party, he still hasn’t heard from Tim’s family. He doesn’t have a relationship with Tim’s family anyway, but he does love Tim very much.

He doesn’t see what the issue is with allowing his son to eat Fruit Loops during the party. In his view, if it was a bad idea, he thinks he should be given the opportunity to see the family again but make sure not to repeat the same mistake.

Do you think he was wrong for feeding his son Fruit Loops at Tim’s birthday party?
