to think a muffin is not a reason to get angry

[DorothyL]

Someone posted on fb today that they were angry their child had been given a cupcake with chocolate icing by another child, because it undermined the healthy eating message that they were keen to teach their child...

Is it me or is that way over the top?

I think that person will be angry a lot.

Not enough detail.

Being angered by a muffin is quite an achievement.

Did someone really put that on Facebook?

I think the reaction to the muffin is over the top. Putting it on Facebook seems like one of those sanctimonious "look what a good mother I am" stealth boasts about how good their child's diet is.

is that way over the top?

It depends how thick the icing was, surely.

The absence of cake, otoh, is a perfectly valid reason to be angry.

It depends how thick the icing was, surely.

Does it? If they only have cake once in a blue moon does it really matter how much bad stuff is in it?

Well I'm pissed off that nobody gave ME a nice iced muffin today.

No it is way over the top. They win the over reaction and rude cunt of the week award hands down. Throwing themselves on the floor and ranting over a muffin. They need to venture out more or get a hobby.
The poor child was being kind giving their cake. I hope Mr Miss or Mrs. Prove s point on fb that my poppet eats healthy and I want everyone to know about it, did not say anything to the child.
The child didn't fucking know about their healthy eating message. FGS.
I also hope the child's mother doesn't see that post on fb. Her child being slated for kindness because if it were my child. I would go fucking nuclear.

Fully agree with Purple. Stealth boost. No shit Sherlock.

Never being allowed cake isn't a great healthy eating message. Their child will probably binge on cake when they are older.

It was a great case of how to win friends... Also included general comments on the rest of the hockey team seeing exercise as an excuse to eat rubbish, and how people shoud be more "sensible"...

YANBU

I now want cake though

im sensible im also eating cake

Well it depends. If it was one of those cupcakes where there is more icing than cake and the cake tastes horrible we should all be outraged at their very existence.

Children sharing food? Meh, not so much.

Their child is now quite ruined.
Only good for parts.
Please be understanding people.
Try to have some hearts.

One cake with icing now
From another child
Is just the start of a sad sad life
As they grow up and then go wild.

Doctors and psychologists
Will research the future spree
And decide they wouldn't have killed so many
If they had remained pure and sugar free.

If it was one of those cupcakes where there is more icing than cake and the cake tastes horrible we should all be outraged at their very existence.

I absolutely agree with you on that front!

It was sort of a dark chocolate glaze

You are just taunting us now Dorothy

WAAAY over the muffin top

Now I want cake

Last month I witnessed a stand-up row in a park between two parents after one of them offered the others child an icelolly. He went ballistic, you'd think it had been crack cocaine, not a Juicy Lucy

Purpledaisies I think Anniegetyourgun was being sarcastic

Bestrong. I take it certain words such as a simple. No thank you. Johnny is not allowed lolly ices do not figure in that diot's vocabulary. How fucking rude.

Oops. That went completely over my head cabbage.

Apologies for missing the sarcasm annie.
