to fry pizza if my friend's oven doesn't work?

[marykat2004]

Ok, I know this is the shoot-me-down topic (AIBU), but I had a nasty text in the middle of the night and wonder if what I did was so bad?

Long story short, friends are staying at other friends' flat for the holidays. The visiting friends have a 4 month old baby. Yesterday was the baby's first flight.

I thought they might not not be up for going out to eat after flying (arrived at 5 pm), nor would they want to cook. I made soup and bread at my flat, and took it over to the other flat for the visitors.

My DD (age 7) is a fussy eater. She won't eat soup. DH is ill and can't look after her, so I took her with me. I took a readymade pizza for her to eat.

Unfortunately I couldn't figure out the oven. Not knowing what to do, I fried the pizza. I cleaned everything up afterwards.

Now, for some reason, the owners of flat must have been talking about the pizza with the visitors. I got a text at midnight saying "what the f*ck are you doing frying piazza in my flat?"

Was it that bad? I didn't burn anything, I cleaned up after. If someone did that in my flat I wouldn't be angry but maybe I am just too easy going ?

Had you asked the flat owners if you could use their kitchen? Obviously with the friends who were staying there, they knew the score; maybe they were a tad pissed off about you cooking for your dd there. It's not like the other friends were arriving really late either- it was a nice thought to help out but perhaps they saw it as interfering

Gas leak is irrelevant really- if this happened coincidentally and the owners werent aware of a problem

Yes a good point, it was not late, but for people coming from abroad with a new baby, it was late for them. They have a 7 pm bedtime for the baby, that's 6 pm UK time, and had just dealt with a first flight.

Bringing a pizza for DD was a last minute thing. So there fore that was a f*ck up on my part. I should have bought her a takeaway on the way.

I'm having problems with time management and should have planned the day better, to have everything ready at the flat (owners of the flat knew I was going there alone earlier on to set up a travel cot).

A lot of over thinking in that last post!
I think if people are flying from abroad with a baby for the first time, they are hardly going to expect to get their baby down to sleep on the dot of its usual time! They are all out of their normal routine so an hour here or their is no biggie.
I don't think it's a time management issue- just that the owners are probably stressing now about this gas leak and possibly worrying that something might not have been switched off properly

I am confused.... was there a gas leak, or did you leave the gas on when you couldnt figure out how to work the oven?

So- the owners had no knowledge of a gas leak. It then transpires that the cooker is leaking gas after youd been in and used it. I would imagine they are shocked and upset and wondering if anything you did caused it (as you were trying to use an unfamiliar oven and you had taken it on yourself to use it anyway). It may of course be entirely coincidental but that's not the point really is it?

And sorry OP, but really ... really.. Fried Pizza? Your husband, if I recall correctly, has had heart problems. If you are allowing your daughter to be a fussy eater, and giving her fried pizza, she is going to be following in his footsteps. :(

Apart from that she eats so little of anything she stands no chance of ever being overweight.

My brother, sister and I all were raised on hamburgers and hotdogs and all eat well now. Far better than our mother in fact, who eats only cheese and beer.

DD's school is big on healthy eating and she knows what is healthy. I was just trying to accomodate the visitors and hadn't allowed for time to sort out my own child :(
