To have a complete fucking meltdown over pancake day

Frillyhorseyknickers · 28/02/2017 20:15

I'm almost convinced I am being unreasonable but you know what - fuck it.

It's pancake day, I love pancake day - all the pancakes and fat, happy fillings. We ALWAYS do pancake day, ever since I was a littlie- pancake day is a thing in this household.

So I got up at fuck knows what time, rode my horses in the semi darkness, chewed on my semi cardboard Alpen light on the 07.07 to Kings Cross, but uplifted because... pancakes.

There were lots of pancakes in my lunch meeting which I avoided because "we always have pancakes in an evening" so opted for the starting-to-curl-dry cheese sandwiches and called in at the shop en route home for pancake fillings.

Where is my DH? He's in bed. Not arsed about pancakes, he had a chicken Kiev earlier. He doesn't see the issue - have a pancake by yourself if you like - what a little pity party pancake for one? Really?

I know I'm unreasonable and a chicken Kiev is more filling 🙄 I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I have a LOT of feelings this week. Pancake pity party at mine, anyone 🎉

He wants to pancake with me HSM and he also needs me to do the batter/cooking- he has many skills but none of them transcend into catering Grin

I don't mind really- he's a good 'un. I'll be having a savoury one though- I can't face Nutella at 10pm!

I'm really glad you got your lovely pancakes OP!

No happy - much further south than us and you'd drown! Probably been doing an after school sports - I didn't ask! Chucked him a towel, started the pancakes ds was busting at the seems for and then despite his parents arriving home didn't have the heart to tell him I was having my pancakes to myself after all!

Frillyhorseyknickers · 28/02/2017 21:34

HakeLively you absolutely have to pancake together - we don't want any more tears and melt downs over pancakes!!

Hershey's is poisonous for everyone Bees.

I confess that I have had dogs for my entire life, and have stuffed them with allowed them the odd chocolate on occasion and have never had any health problems (though perhaps my 20 yer old dog would have got to 20 and a half . . . ).

I don't give them dark chocolate, though.

Dear Awesome Momma, I want pancakes in my baby tummy as they will make me big and strong. Please don't share with Daddy, he had his 3 minutes of fun and now the pancakes are mine!!!!!! Oh and yours of course... MAKE ME PANCAKES TIL THEYRE ALL GONE!!!

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 28/02/2017 21:39

use the last of the batter to make one and DO THIS stand over him until he wakes up with the fear.

HakeLively · 28/02/2017 21:51

Frilly I'm in a taxi en-route home and ready to get my pancake on with DP. 😴😂

I would rather have a chicken Kiev and bedtime Grin

NeverEverAnythingEver · 28/02/2017 22:08

OP YWVVVU to avoid pancakes at your lunch time meeting! Why did you do that?

We had pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Wink

madein1995 · 28/02/2017 22:14

No pancakes today, am having some tomorrow. Am on slimming world but the ones made of oats look more like sweetened biscuits to me and I would rather have a pancake or 3. Only once a year afterall Smile (only time we can be bothered)

QueenOfTheCatBastards · 28/02/2017 23:43

We didn't have time for pancakes today. We've decided to do them on Sunday instead so the nine year old can get his cook on. He has decided on crispy bacon and maple syrup for him and his big sister. I'm ditching the syrup and having cheese on mine. The five year old will have a little of everything on a sectioned plate, and will probably eat a small cube of cheese before walking away.

Pancakes are minging anyway.

glitterazi · 01/03/2017 00:38

Probably too late now and you've fallen asleep, but I'd have said "screw you then" and made them all for myself! Grin
Why see it as a pity party? See it as a "me and baby need pancakes!" and have your own little pancake party together!
Let him snore his head off in bed if he wants.
That way lies more pancakes for you.....

HappyFlappy · 01/03/2017 11:28

Wash out your mouth, LittleFrog!

If your pancakes are "minging", you aren't making them properly.

You should be ashamed - blaming an innocent batter mix for your own ineptitude! Angry

MrSoot doesn't like pancakes but he gallantly made them for me and dd (mine always end up looking like scrambled eggs).
