to be furious with dh for eating cakes he knew were destined for the bin!

OK. I bake a lot. And sometimes my cakes are beautiful, and we all enjoy them. But sometimes it does not go so well and the cakes come out sunk or burnt or still wet in the middle (if dh would get the fan fixed on the oven this would happen a lot less often, but that's another thread)

There is a system, dh and the children are well aware of it. If the cakes are good to eat, they either go in a freezer bag for later use, or in a sealed tin for use over the week, or on a plate on the side so that they can be eaten now. DH knows this and I never complain about him "sampling" even if th cakes are meant for after dinner or whatever. I bake a lot so there is usually something there if he fancies a nibble.

If the cakes are not up to scratch, they go in the bin as soon as they are cooled (or as soon as dh empties the bin - there's another thread there!)

so this morning dh saunters into the kitchen to get himself breakfast. I come in and find him cramming his mouth with the burnt, crappy cakes that were sitting in the bun tray by the bin. I was really pissed off and had a go at him for it. I can make really nice cakes and I make plenty of them, so he has no need to wind me up and embarrass me by eating the ones that have gone wrong. He know it is a pet hate of mine.

so he strops off to work having called me a "control freak" in front of our children who were sitting having their breakfast. I am Not Happy.

So what do you think the solution to this very serious problem is, amillionyears?

Thanks for the laugh Greensleeves. Great wind up.

Viviennemary · 21/01/2013 23:54

I haven't read this thread. But I agree you are a control freak. Why couldn't he eat the cakes if he wanted to. He's not a child to be told what he can and can't do.

We should be guaranteed that trolling should not be allowed.

Viviennemary · 22/01/2013 00:00

I'm always the last person to get anything!

taratiger22 · 22/01/2013 00:04

Brilliant stuff.
Greeny are you actually any good at baking? Wink
This kind of windup doesn't bother me at all.
It's not like there would be a hairy handed cake-eating weirdo wanking over this, is there.Grin

Monty27 · 22/01/2013 00:09

The cakes were condemmed? Shock

Were they hot cross buns by any chance? Confused

YourCallIsImportant · 22/01/2013 00:13

Brilliant fun, thanks.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 22/01/2013 00:22

Man i really wanted this to be real.

Monty27 · 22/01/2013 00:22

Linkie to 'garlic arse' please someone. I have a vague recollection. Grin

weegiemum · 22/01/2013 00:26

Good One Greeny!!

(but yes, my dh did eat mouldy Banana Cake! And he's proud of it!!)

hopkinette · 22/01/2013 00:30

We should be guaranteed that trolling should not be allowed.

How should that be enforced?

differentnameforthis · 22/01/2013 00:32

Why do you treat him like he is one of your children? Surely he is allowed to eat what he likes in his own house, especially if it is going to be wasted?

Perhaps he hates you being precious about your cooking & hates waste? As long as it isn't burnt, my kids get pretty much whatever I bake, what ever it's condition & I certainly would not tell dh that he couldn't eat it, nor when he could eat it. Unless it was made for a special occasion, dh is not a child who needs to be told not to eat xyz!!!

WorraLiberty · 22/01/2013 00:36

Garlic arse?

Was that the thread where the OP wanted to shove garlic up her child's arse as a suppository?

Or was Garlicarse a NN that came about because of the thread but the thread was real?

HeadfirstForHalos · 22/01/2013 00:39

I thought it was the one where the OP had stuck garlic cloves up her arse to get rid of worms? But it was a stinky disaster at work the next day?

alfrex · 22/01/2013 00:41

it was the wormy one

the child suppository one I think was genuine Shock

WorraLiberty · 22/01/2013 00:41

Oh I hadn't read that one Halos Grin

Bogeyface · 22/01/2013 00:42

The child enema one was genuine, and quite worrying. Was glad to read later that the child had made it clear in no uncertain terms that it WAS NOT HAPPENING!

WorraLiberty · 22/01/2013 00:43

Oh and there's a bloody link...I know I'm just going to have to read it before I go to bed! Angry Grin

I was about to say thank god the child suppository one was real...but I was kind of hoping it wasn't? Shock

HeadfirstForHalos · 22/01/2013 00:49

Sorry! Grin

Surely nobody would even consider doing that to a child?! Shock

Boomerwang · 22/01/2013 00:52

I haven't read the thread. Did you really expect me to?

At the risk of being a hypocrite, you're chucking away stuff that others would and are dying for.

Don't you think you're being just a little bit fucking stupid?

The above can be ignored if you are a wind up merchant, which I reckon you are.

Burnt cakes indeed. You describe it like your OH doesn't get to eat unless you burn something you mad mare.
