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!

Either way no one should be eating anything made by 3yos! Gross!

MissBeehiving · 23/03/2017 19:04

At least I suppose the temperature that they are cooked at will kill the worm eggs that will probably be in the dough 🙂

Oh crikey, I had no idea these things had to be saved. I feel a bit bad now, when I was a nanny and would collect a child who'd baked something, we'd normally share it between us either on the way home or after lunch/dinner. It never even occurred to me to keep it until their parents' got home in the evening!

Speaking as a parent of a 12 year old and a 3 year old, I think it's more than thoughtless- I actually think it's quite spiteful.

DD1 is pretty horrible to me, DP, her 10 year old sister, and most other people within a 100m radius- but she'd never steal biscuits from her baby sister.

(And she'd lose a lot more than one day's pudding if she did)

OvO · 23/03/2017 19:24

I have a 12 year old. If he did this I'd assume thoughtlessness rather than any malicious intent.

I'd have a word about how disappointed younger DC was and how did she want to make it up to them.

I've eaten stuff that I shouldn't have and I'm 36! The lure of the sugar has made me eat one too many of DH's biscuits sometimes.

Emphasise · 23/03/2017 19:35

What does she have to say for herself? Is it possible DS gave them to her and she was humouring him in eating them?

Was he really upset that you didnt get to see them or is he upset that you're upset iyswim? If she did "steal" the biscuits that's awful but it does seem rather a lot of drama about not being able to show off a biscuit.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/03/2017 19:43

Well, as her penance, she can help him to make some more over the weekend ☹️😄

memyselfandaye · 23/03/2017 19:49

Tell she was welcome to them and they probably had a dozen pairs of grotty toddler hands on them plus a few extras added, snot and bogeys etc, oh and 3yr olds are'nt great at washing their hands after they've used the toilet.

StrangeLookingParasite · 23/03/2017 19:52

Maybe she was hungry

Oh FFS.

gamerchick · 23/03/2017 19:52

Yeah they're not really for eating. Give her a graphic description of biscuits made at nursery and bobs your uncle Grin

Then she gets to bake biscuits with her brother Wink

ReginaGeorgeinSheepsClothing · 23/03/2017 19:56

Might not be a popular view but do you spend much positive time just you and her? 13s a pretty crappy age from what I remember.... (absolutely dramaticly overblown memories of " I'm so unloved, no One cares about meeeee" completely unfounded) and just thinking was she an only till 10 then 2 younger sibs in

DurhamDurham · 23/03/2017 20:00

Maybe she's on a growth spurt and had an uncontrollable urge to eat carbs......trying to find the positives for you Grin

I agree that you can get revenge in years to come by eating the biscuits that your future grandchild makes before your daughter has seen them.

EineKleine · 23/03/2017 20:02

I couldn't get het up about his dad not seeing them, but they were DS's. He may be only 3 but she needs to respect her brother's stuff.

ShowMePotatoSalad · 23/03/2017 20:07

Does she feel left out

Oh please. Feeling left out because her younger brother made biscuits at nursery. Hmm

AHedgehogCanNeverBeBuggered · 23/03/2017 20:09

FFS Plums stop being a dick. MN is full of comparatively trivial posts, that's part of its charm.

cdtaylornats · 23/03/2017 20:12

She remembers what went in biscuits at nursery and wanted to save her mummy

PerspicaciaTick · 23/03/2017 20:13

You need to use the MN look and voice on DD and then flatter DS about how delicious his biscuits looked, no wonder DD couldn't resist, can he show you how to make some more and then everyone can have one, so proud that he makes yummy biscuits etc. etc. he'll be over the sadness very quickly (and be telling everyone he's going to win Bake Off when he grows up).

Emphasise · 23/03/2017 20:14

Really Show? If it's about feeling left out, it not to do with biscuits but with the huge fuss being made about a couple of manky biscuits

1horatio · 23/03/2017 20:18

13?

That's much older than I initially assumed.

I mean, it's obviously not a huuuuge thing. But seriously, she ate his biscuits? I mean... What?

Did she say why she ate them? Did her DB give them to her or did she just take them...?

I like this suggestion.

But I think you need to have a talk with your DD. I mean, this isn't totally awful. But it is inappropriate and weird....

Foxysoxy01 · 23/03/2017 20:21

Oh dear, it does sound rather spiteful of DD.

What did she have to say for herself?
Did you tell her how unkind it was, or do you think she really thought they were for her Hmm

JustSpeakSense · 23/03/2017 20:31

DD12 needs to bake biscuits with DS3 this weekend, maybe to be presented as a mothers day treat with a cuppa?

AYankinSpanx · 23/03/2017 20:44

I have to say that if my eldest DD did this, my first thought wouldn't be that she did it out of spite or malice at all.

Is she a nice, considerate girl usually OP? Your 12 year old is attracting some pretty harsh accusations on this thread. Do you think, knowing her, that she just did it without thinking or momentary lapse in otherwise good judgement?

If that's the case, maybe you should address people calling her spiteful, nasty, pretty shitty etc.

I assume you've spoken to her now, what did she say?

paxillin · 23/03/2017 20:45

That would earn her a major bollocking plus biscuit baking and decorating duty on Saturday. Very mean and greedy, both ugly character traits.

1horatio · 23/03/2017 20:46

My first thought was actually that your DD may have a food issue? But I may be very wrong about that...
