Bloody scavenging children!

I was going to have left-over pasta bake for my lunch - there was one portion left, and as I don't make this particular pasta bake very often, I was looking forward to my lunch - but one of the bloody children has had most of it for their breakfast!!! We have a cupboard full of cereals, a bowl full of fruit and plenty of bread to make toast, and tasty things to put on toast. Plus, they have £2.50 dinner money from us, and their own money, and are going to get a proper dinner tonight.

So - am I being unreasonable to think that whichever child it was could have left me these leftovers for my lunch? They didn't need them for their breakfast.

I tend to make a bit extra of some meals, on the basis that the leftovers will do me for lunch the next day - otherwise I tend not to plan anything for my lunches, and end up having to scrabble round for something to eat - and the dses know this. And they've been told that, generally speaking, leftovers are not for anyone's breakfast.

But still the one thieving little what-not has eaten MY lunch - and now I am going to be stuck with cheese on toast.

Tell your dc that next time they get the munchies and want to steal food they should only steal their dad's and leave anything you have earmarked. Preferably within his hearing. Grin

That should get him on side...

Sadly dh is on the hitlist too - he has drunk all but the last inch of my cherry coke - I was saving one glassful for tomorrow, to have with my lunch.

The men around me are all thieving barstewards!

I decided to let dh live, but did mutter darkly at him quite a lot.

YANBU. I only have a three year-old DS and a DH to contend with but they're like a pack of starving dogs. Do my bleedin head in.
