To have just eaten birthday cake DS brought home

[25kilopumpkin]

He has been to 3 parties this weekend, £30 in presents, entire weekend planned around these events, DD feels left out so further £10 on compensation present, both being little sods due to too much sugar, dancing, tantrums etc. Poured wine, no nibbles - I ATE the cake...AIBU (f-ing no!)

[worraliberty]

That depends on if your DS actually wanted his cake?

[ChippingInToThePumpkinLantern]

No - it doesn't keep overnight well that's my story and I'm sticking to it

[MrHeadlessMan]

Hope it was not pumpkin pie. Because that would be, you know, cannibalism.

[purplewerepidj]

Depends if one of the other bits can be cut in half and therefore do two lunchboxes so he doesn't notice

And I reckon YANBU - you need all the help you can get to deal with sugar-crazed children at 9pm

Was it a bit of the cake covered in birthday child candle blowing spit? [hgrin]

[25kilopumpkin]

Put them both to bed immediately after baby went to sleep 18:15, could no longer cope... Next week 1/2 term so no lunchboxes thank god. He forgot about cake, I forgot about spit FFS [vial]

I am ashamed to admit that I frequently do this.

By the time we get home from a party DS has had plenty of sugary stuff and doesn't need cake. I, on the other hand, having had nothing more than a luke-warm paper cup of coffee do need cake and wine.

DS has never mentioned the birthday cake the next day.

I do this a lot......not just with cake but with sweets they have forgotten about!!

[MowlemB]

I always eat the birthday cake [hblush].

In my defence, my children do not actually like birthday cake whilst I bloody love it.

My payment for taking them / enduring the party.

[KittyFane]

I've often eaten cake and sweets from DD's party bags.
I always ask first.
:o

[NorksAreMessy]

You are SAVING the Dc from having to eat chemicals and sugar.
You are a GOOD MOTHER

YANBU

[MrHeadlessMan]

I once saw DW swipe a premium-brand choc bar from DD's party bag with the comment "she won't appreciate it"

My face was exactly like

[KittyFane]

As norks said - mrheadless, your DW was being a good mum :o

[AteAWholePacketOfBiccys]

You are stupid and strange if you DON'T eat the cake from party bags.
