To be annoyed that DH is refusing to take my cake into work

..... Because it's too childlike

It's a practice run for my son bday party. Ok so it's not great, a bit soggy but really it's sodding chocolate cake -surely it can't be that embarrassing to take into work.

AIBU to be offended

Seem to have spent all weekend arguing with DH

LTB immediately.

YANBU.

Send it to me I will gratefully appreciate your efforts Grin

MagpieMama · 14/09/2014 19:10

I'll have it!

Do men take cakes into work??

PureMorning · 14/09/2014 19:10

Why does he have to take it in?
hes a grown up, if he doesn't want to then thats tgecend of it?

Brightbutchilly · 14/09/2014 19:10

um, I'm sure your cake is lovely but I wouldn't take cake into work either. It's not appropriate in all workplaces.

If it's slightly dodgy looking cake it'll be embarrassing for him when no one eats it. (Sorry)

My DH wouldn't do it and tbh neither would I (sorry)

schokolade · 14/09/2014 19:11

Well I can see his side, wouldn't want to take it to my office. But I would be impressed if someone else brought it in, so that makes no sense Grin

nocoolnamesleft · 14/09/2014 19:11

I am seriously worried. Turning down chocolate cake????!!!! Is he ill?

Do men take cakes into work??

I had men take in cookies and other desserts into our office. :)

Dieu · 14/09/2014 19:11

It's not the kind of thing I'd waste much sleep over, to be honest. Sorry, not terribly supportive. Is his refusal to take in the cake just a part of some bigger problem?

antimatter · 14/09/2014 19:12

In our office EVERYTHING home made disappears within minutes! Grin
He is being VVVU!

picnicbasketcase · 14/09/2014 19:12

If it's in the shape of Bob the Builder I don't blame him. Chocolate cake though, he's crazy.

Do men take cakes into work??

Several of the men I work with bake, so yes to that!

PenisesAreNotPink · 14/09/2014 19:13

My ex husband refused to do this

My current husband begs me to - his staff love him for it even if they're silly looking

Moral of the story - marry someone prepared to let people know who you are as a family

TwoAngelFeet · 14/09/2014 19:13

Sorry this made me laugh.

Do you often try to make him take your cooking into work?

Give it away to someone who wants it, eat it yourselves or throw it away.

Making my DP take chocolate cake into his work place (especially if it wasn't up to scratch) would never enter my mind and seems bizarre to me

rubyflipper · 14/09/2014 19:14

YABU
leave the cake at home and add it to a trifle.

Chuckthefucklebrothers · 14/09/2014 19:14

Shove his face in it & LTB.
Job done.

Onetwothreeoops · 14/09/2014 19:14

Can't you cut it into pieces before he takes it in? Surely it would look like any other cake then.

sarahighseas · 14/09/2014 19:15

Ltb you can do better

WorraLiberty · 14/09/2014 19:16

Good lord, you've spent all weekend arguing about this?

I wouldn't take it in either.

Do you have a neighbour who might appreciate it?

windchime · 14/09/2014 19:17

MY DP would never ever take anything in to work, apart from himself and his laptop. Too cool for school, that one Smile

LadyLuck10 · 14/09/2014 19:17

You sound very difficult to live with. Why are you forcing him ??

HeySoulSister · 14/09/2014 19:20

How is it 'soggy'?

vezzie · 14/09/2014 19:21

ltb.
Cut up the cake and freeze it in servings for sneaky impromptu coffee and cake moments.

morerogermore · 14/09/2014 19:22

LOL!
