To be upset with DD?

I've been quite poorly so am probably being over-emotional. Also I have ASD and struggle when plans go awry.

I make a Sunday dinner every week. Even if I work on a Sunday I come home and make a big dinner. Today's was going to be sausages, Aunt Bessie's Yorkshires (the ones that are batter, not the ready cooked ones), roasted new potatoes and veg.

I got up late, had some toast and went for a bath. I come back downstairs and DD has cooked half the sausages and ALL of the Yorkshires along with chips and frozen peas. For herself. Nothing for me.

I'm not only upset that she's scuppered my Sunday dinner plans but it's more that she's been so bloody selfish!

Possibly need telling to get a grip but AIBU to be pissed off?

Also debating if IABU to want that giant Yorkshire with my dinner. We're having home made lasagne (no dolmio/any jarred sauces allowed in this house), garlic bread and salad.... Might have to leave it for next weekend

Surely she won't want much more food later. Maybe some cereal or toast. So in a way she's just had her portion earlier than planned?

I never led anyone to believe it was a roast, I describe the dinner in my op!

It wasn't breakfast it was 1.30pm and we normally have Sunday dinner at around 3pm if I'm not working!

We've made up now. I've had what I was originally having, although the Yorkies were a bit chewy. DD mentioned being hungry about 20 minutes ago and got a very stern look from me...

YANBU, she needs a swift dressing down so that she knows that isn't acceptable.

I think calling it a Sunday dinner suggests a roast, otherwise it's just dinner.

It's dinner, on a Sunday. It's the one meal per week I insist we sit at the table together and eat. There was never a suggestion of any roast and the sausages were mentioned before any other food.

A meal may only be important to you if it has roast meat in it but I don't eat meat.

Bloody hell people how pedantic do you need to be! It's pretty clear what OP means. She makes a cooked dinner for the whole family on a Sunday. Today it was going to be sausages and Yorkshires.

YANBU OP, I would say that was pretty selfish behaviour. Fairly typical of a teenager but you should definitely pull DD up on it.
