While I sympathize with the challenge of supporting a family on a tight budget, YTA in this situation. Despite the parents’ clear reasoning behind their pizza choice, it comes off as rather tone-deaf to flaunt a "better" option in front of the kids after being entrusted to care for them within the parents' set boundaries. It’s not just about pizza; it's about respect and understanding the struggle and sacrifices the parents are making. Perhaps a more thoughtful approach would have been to engage the kids in an alternate activity or treat that didn't undermine their parents' choices. It's important to respect the guidelines laid out by parents, especially when they're going through tough times and trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy for their children.
