To think she shouldn't have eaten the biscuit!

Possibly being a tiny bit U but...

DS (3) made biscuits at nursery today . He had two to bring home. As I was strapping him and baby DS in the car DD took it upon herself to eat the bloody biscuits!

I hadn't even seen them!
I wanted OH to see them too as it's the first time DS has done this kind of thing.

DS is sad that mummy and daddy didn't get to see the biscuits.

I'm quite annoyed ! Greedy git!

That's pretty shitty of her tbh Hmm
I'd have her in the kitchen baking more biscuits with him now.

1nsanityscatching · 23/03/2017 17:55

That's really mean tbh. I'd be grateful I didn't have to eat them but ds should have got the opportunity to show them off and choose who got to eat them.

2017SoFarSoGood · 23/03/2017 18:00

Wow. She's way too old not to know that was a rotten move. Have her bake more with her brother now. and how she is right now being punished with all those horrible germs floating around inside her (yuck!)

cdtaylornats · 23/03/2017 18:06

Maybe she was hungry

SouthernNorthernGirl · 23/03/2017 18:10

I always sit with DD3 and we eat what she brings home from nursery
Now reading these comments I feel Envy

ChasedByBees · 23/03/2017 18:12

I would insist she makes new ones with him too.

Itsnotwhatitseems · 23/03/2017 18:15

I would ask DD to get the ingredients and then get her to help DS make another batch of biscuits. Your DS wants to show you what he made at nursery so having DD make them wont help him feel better, he may enjoy making then again with his DSIS and it will teach her to think before doing something similar again

Bollocking for that
That's pretty shitty of her tbh
Pretty nasty behaviour on her part
read a riot act about being less selfish

I couldn't be that angry about it. I'd explain why I was cross and I'd expect some action on her part to make amends and an understanding of her actions, but I'd leave it at that.

FlappinSwazy · 23/03/2017 18:41

Lie in for you on Sunday whilst she sorts the younger ones out with breakfast I think!

EweAreHere · 23/03/2017 18:42

Your DD obviously had to have known it was mean and absolutely wrong to have eaten them.

Which leaves you with 'why?' Why did she do it.

RupertsMum2 · 23/03/2017 18:43

Well that's her had her dessert. She can watch the rest of you having yours after dinner. She should be old enough to know better.

slkk · 23/03/2017 18:46

Ooh yes, remind her how many hands and bogies and sneezes and dribble have probably gone into the biscuits.

Gatehouse77 · 23/03/2017 18:48

It would definitely be a sound telling off.
Then I would make a batch of biscuits at the weekend and let them all decorate them. When your DD is done ask her how she would feel if you just shoved them into your mouth without asking. Let her stew over it for a bit then she if she understands why you/DS/DH were angry about what she had done.
Assuming she shows remorse, draw a line, put the kettle on and all enjoy the biscuits together.

PlumsGalore · 23/03/2017 18:48

Ok to be annoyed with her thoughtlessness, but not ok to post something like this on MN, surely with several children this is just another day? It would have been for me. I couldn't get worked up enough to post on MN about it. Sorry.

LouKout · 23/03/2017 18:49

I dont think it was an entirely serious thread.

Babyiwantabump · 23/03/2017 18:51

Sorry @Plums I assumed mumsnet was a forum that anyone can post what they want when they want 🤔

Agree she needs to make amends and make some more at home with DS. Although nursery/school-made food produce will have all sorts of snotty germs in that she's probably done you a favour...

Miserylovescompany2 · 23/03/2017 18:54

I'd would bake some more at home and make sure DD gets none! She is old enough to know better...

BarbarianMum · 23/03/2017 18:56

That's really mean of her. Even if she didn't think about showing them to dad, do you not do sharing in your family? Or ask permission before eating other people's stuff?

UnbornMortificado · 23/03/2017 18:59

Not acceptable, I'm presuming based on her age and if there is no disabilities etc. I was coming on to commiserate I didn't get my Mother's Day biscuits but DD is 4.

thebakerwithboobs · 23/03/2017 19:00

I'd expect her to know better at that age. Is she jealous of the little one? Maybe it was a case of eat the biscuits that he will get all the attention for? But certainly not cool. I would get her to make some more with him that he can present proudly to his daddy.

Unhairymaclary · 23/03/2017 19:00

Yet you still felt the need to add a message Plums

PlumsGalore · 23/03/2017 19:00

It is yes, hence my comment.
