Dessert and DSS

I’m fully prepared to be told AIBU.

DP and I have lived together for about 8 months. We haven’t hosted in that time so I am very excited to be hosting 2 couples this weekend. DPs 2 DS will be here as well (14 & 18).
DP & I were discussing the food etc last night & I mentioned I would make 2 desserts. He then asked if I could make 1/2 size desserts as DC (14) won’t be able to control them self & would finish off any leftover pudding.
This would involve buying new tins (if they exist that small ) & having a 3.5” torte !!

AIBU to to crack on with my original plan or do I cut down to 1 dessert & hope everyone likes it ?

If there's leftovers after guests and family have had what they want first time round, plus an offer of seconds, why shouldn't DSS have it?

I’m sorry I don’t find no dessert as strange.
When I was married & I was bringing up my 2 DSs we never had dessert unless it was a party/BBQ etc.
The DSS are attending the BBQ because we are intending to watch the England game on Sunday. They will probably spend most of their time in their rooms on their phones & only make an appearance for food.

Cakeaways are a thing now.

Watch out for the just eat guy.

We never had dessert at home either, maybe just yogurt so i don't think it's weird that OP doesnt

We don't have pudding on a regular basis either but when we do, if there are leftovers teen DC can have it if they want it

We never do dessert usually.

Ah I see!! A bbq is different I thought you meant a dinner party.

But not letting teenage boys scoff leftovers is wierd. Your dh sounds over anxious. Honestly it’s cimpletely normal for teenage boys to eat loads.

To be honest your middle age friends shouldn’t be scoffing the left overs as they have done growing.,or you and dh either.

Your step children are still growing so better they have it.

We don't have a dessert with every meal or a starter for that matter. Your DP is being ridiculous - stick to your guns

Your DP seems overly concerned with his sons food consumption. Unless the child is drastically overweight? 14 year olds eat shed loads, tell him to chill out, it's a party!!

This is a DP problem. Not a pudding problem.
Ha-ha love it! GrinGrin
