I was bought a gingerbread man. Before I ate any of it somebody broke his legs off and ate them so I refused to eat it and threw it on the floor. Aibu?

Who cares?

Seriouslyffs · 09/11/2015 16:36

YANBU at all!
Especially if you're a toddler.

This has got to be a reverse thread about a child.

Was it not one of these?

Everyone knows you only eat the sweets and lick the icing and then poke it around your plate a bit but that you need to do it with ALL of it or no deal. Fuck you, leg eater you cruel heartless bastard.

If my 2 year old was eloquent enough I think that is what he would say.

Yes of course this is reverse. 2.2 year old :-) and it was naughty me who ate the chocolate legs!

Next time don't let your 2 yo see its legs and tell them it is a chocolate Weeble.

You're lucky you had one at all - I promised poor ds one from the counter in Sainsbury's today and they hadn't made any, they'd made gingerbread Christmas jumpers instead. Fucking jumpers!!! What kid wants a gingerbread jumper???

I would be very upset if someone violated my gingerbread man in this way and I am a bit older than 2.2.

Allbymyselfagain · 09/11/2015 17:21

Can't you explain that you were making sure the gingerbread person didn't run away? That's the reason my mum used and she was hardcore, she'd bite the legs off jelly babies for the same reason!

My 2.5yo wouldn't refuse a biscuit just because it's broken. It can be a suspicious crumb of biscuit under the sofa and she'll eat it.

Genius. Write a book please.

Minisoksmakehardwork · 09/11/2015 17:28

Yabvu. The person who ate the legs stopped the gingerbread man from running away. You should be grateful! They may have eaten his head for you and you'll never find that if he runs off, he doesn't know where he's found himself.

Of course YANBU.

Naughty mummy!

I'm sure she doesn't just do it to you though.

I'm not a kid, but I really want a gingerbread jumper right now. >

Ha, too bad sdtg, my boy obviously didn't care all that much as it disappeared pretty quickly after dinner!
