to be p**ssed off that kids have eaten all the cakes

[issey6cats]

on thursday i bought two boxes of blueberry muffins 4 to a box and just gone to get one and my stepkids have scoffed all of them between them so AIBU to be peed off that they have just scavenged all the goodies in the house without even a thought for sharing DH didnt even get one either

How many kids? Tbh I think you're being unrealistic...Ihave 2 DC and a DH and you've got to be quick. No good buying treats and then looking for them 2 days later!

And if muffins were the only goodies then YABU..you need more!

Bake your own...cheaper and bigger batches!

YANBU. I'd be murderous.

I have this problem and my DC are 21 and 24.

I put all the treats on a top shelf in one of my kitchen cupboards and tell them time and time again to check first before eating. My DH doesn't eat chocolate, cakes or sweets so when I go to get something and it's gone I know it's them.

Greedy shites

2 stepkids 19 and 20 and they wernt the only goodies lol just the ones i wanted and they know i like them and i bought tons of stuff just for them they have eaten thiers and mine i shouldnt have to say thier mine thier yours as i was brought up to take my fair share

HIde some then. My bro used to do this when he was a teen...are they lads? They eat a LOT at that age...my Mum used to hide eveyone elses share as he'd scoff the lot!

Teenage/early twenties boys are bottomless pits when it comes to food. My brothers could empty the fridge and still ask "what's for dinner?"

Buy a flavour they hate or label the packet "laxative muffins"

Airtight container, behind all the cleaning products. They wont think of looking there

That goes on my "how to hide nice food from gannets" list.

Along with "choc ices and all frozen goodies go into empty sprout or carrot bags in the freezer.."

YABU - if you have food in the fridge I think it is reasonable for anyboy in the house to help themselves. If you feel strongly then I would suggest speaking to the DC and making clear that they are only allowed one. TBH I think that comes across as mean.

I am astonished that posters think that any child over the age of about 8 (whether a step child or biological child) should not think about sharing, and not greedily scoffing more than their share of something - whatever it is.

OP, I would be annoyed too. It is not about the amount of food, but the fact that they eat the lot without thinking "oh, issey might want one of these" - no thought for others at all. very selfish.

I'd be peed off!

I was taught to share, and to ask before taking anything from the fridge. It's general manners.
