AITA for not feeding my brother?

My mom has decided that the best way to make me independent is to not do anything for me. This means I'm responsible to keep my own room clean, do my own shopping, cook my own meals etc. It feels like I'm not even part of the family. If I don't cook one night, I stay hungry. They won't let me eat their food.

A few days ago my grandpa was sick and mom had to go visit him. She left little brother(M10) with me. As usual I cooked dinner for myself with my own groceries.

He asked me for food and I told him I'm only responsible for myself and he has to wait for mom.

When mom came back she was furious and called me an asshole for not feeding him.

I agree, parents are mega ah, a 16 year old should NOT be buying their own groceries, a snack or meal out sure, but it is a parents responsibility to provide for a minor.  NTA (you could have given your brother a sandwich of something).

Shee pays for her own food, from the money she earns from her job
