Ok question context - had my youngest best friend over for a crash over for mine’s birthday. The following morning I made pancakes for breakfast. Now I make my pancakes from my grandmothers recipe that’s been handed down. Super simple and they taste great! This kid took one bite and stopped eating. I asked if everything was ok and he says, I’m just not feeling good. Much later that afternoon his mother calls to ask what i served her son cause he came home hungry. I told her I made pancakes to which she asked “what brand?” Confused I said from scratch. To which she said whose brand is that, I’ve never heard of them. So I clarified by saying I made them from a recipe. She yelled at me that I wasn’t listening to her. Pancakes come from a box and she wants to know which brand of box I got the pancakes from. I then recited my recipe to her and she said to me, I’m not stupid I am a chef so I know how to get the pancakes from a box you just add water, so tell me what box. I said to her, well I can appreciate that you as a chef must know a lot about recipes, I have to make dinner now so I’ll let you go.
How would you handle a child who has never experienced food made from scratch? Or their enthusiastic parent who makes interesting statements. Was I an a**hole?

It’s a story where the main character is a high school student and he believes he’s an alpha, but turns out he’s an omega and his mother who is an alpha had been hiding that information from him and he happens to come across his faded mate. Who’s just a small child. The small boy decides to leave so that he doesn’t trouble his fated mate and they reunite when the boy graduates high school.
Any help is much appreciated!!
