I know IABU but I can’t help but have my own feelings about this

Ordered pizza tonight. A very rare treat. Had one slice and as I was turning away to deal with ds2, ds1 (5) smothered my fucking pizza with sauce.

i don’t know wtf he was thinking either

That’s unkind behaviour from a five year old. Is there more to this?

What a mad response!

It’s the swearing making me think YABU. I know this is just Mumsnet but still 👀 it’s tomato sauce on a tomato pizza, I’m sure you can scrape it off

It wasn’t a bloody tomato pizza. Know it alls are the sodding worse.

Am I the only person on here who always puts ketchup on my pizza? 😳

It doesn’t matter if you are. If you love it and it rocks your world, carry on. It isn’t about ketchup on pizza. We like different stuff. I’m sure you wouldn’t thank me for deciding you couldn’t have ketchup on yours.

Definitely old enough to start learning not to touch anyone else's food though I'm sure he thought he was just helping.

Did he only pour it on your pizza? Not his?

ThereAreOnlyShadesOfGrey · 22/12/2025 20:14

I would have gone apeshit.

And then I would have thrown the pizza in the bin in front of him to show him that he’d ruined my dinner.

“He’s just five” isn’t good enough. At five children know not to touch other people’s food.

FuzzyWolf · 22/12/2025 20:12

I suspect this will end up being one of those things that he never hears the end of!

Who are the 40% of people who think I’m being unreasonable to be fucking gutted my rare indulgence was ruined? Have you no soul? 😭🤣

The 40% that voted yabu did so because they think you should be absolutely stuffed after one slice of pizza and yabu to need more. The competitive under eaters of Mumsnet have spoken!

Straight in the bin.

Or, if you’re feeling generous, empty his little piggy bank to order another one.

Genius.

Do you mean he squirted ketchup all over it or something? I don't know what sauce you would have with pizza. Very annoying though, could you get most of it off?

How is this confusing for you 😂 what else could he have done to get ketchup on the pizza?

I sympathise OP, ketchup has no place on a pizza.

Largestlegocollectionever · 22/12/2025 18:41

You said a slice?
so one slice was ruined? I presume the rest of the pizza was ok?

No, I wouldn’t have been bothered about one slice. He drowned my entire pizza in ketchup.

SillyNavyTiger · 22/12/2025 18:46

Where did he get the ketchup from?

I would be disappointed, but i"ll just order another pizza 😂

I'd just throw the whole child out tbh, straight in the bin.

On the off-chance you decide not to chuck him away, I totally understand how annoying it is. DD once poured a shit load of salt on my tea while I was getting DS a drink, her reasoning was that I like salt (so why wouldn't I like the entire contents of the shaker...?) Will the ketchup scrape off or are there any slices less covered that you could still eat?

Personally, I'd write off and go get myself a fresh one once they're in bed.

This is why I plate up pizza. I'm not having their little fingers all on my food 🤣

Hopefully you can get a refund (on the kid)… and enjoy your pizza in peace 🤣😘

Aw come on, he’s five! Annoying I know but kids do silly stuff all the time. What did you say to him?

Oh I overreacted although I did apologise. I know, kids just are really annoying. Which is why I’m venting here! But 😠

All over your pizza and not his? Or were you sharing? He's 5, he didn't mean to. I appreciate the sadness though.

It was over my pizza. I don’t know what he was thinking, probably thought he was doing me a favour. But 🤢
