She’s threw away my bloody dinner!!!

Just a rant,

I had just sat down to dinner, baby kicks off needing a feed and a cuddle, I got him changed and settled and put into bed, and go downstairs to eat my dinner,

And the MIl has thrown it away!!! She bloody threw my dinner away!!!

2 issues here,

  1. it would t be so bad if she had actually washed up, I could almost forgive her if she was generally tidying up,

And 2) she has a mouth, why not ask if I was finished, I make it blatantly clear that I was coming back down to eat once baby was settled!! I even put a plate over the plate iykwim, so it stayed at least a fraction warm...

Gah, what did I expect really (you’ll know what I mean if you’ve read my other threads...

Ask her what she is making you now she threw your dinner away.

Singlenotsingle · 30/07/2018 20:31

Order a takeaway?

mimibunz · 30/07/2018 20:31

Wait until you are out one evening and send her a pizza, cash at the door.

delphguelph · 30/07/2018 20:32

Are there any leftovers?

RobinEggs · 30/07/2018 20:32

I would be bloody furious! Did you ask her why she threw it away?

Maelstrop · 30/07/2018 20:32

What did you say to her? I would’ve been fuming!

Summernamechange · 30/07/2018 20:33

Sympathies - my FIL once ATE my SILs dinner whilst she was sorting 2 day old baby out as ‘she obviously didn’t want it.
He then sulked all night as she ‘got another dinner’.

altiara · 30/07/2018 20:33

Gobsmacked! Hope you have a chippy nearby that MIL can run to and replace said dinner. Not sure you can argue with that kind of crazy though. Cake

iamyourequal · 30/07/2018 20:34

Yanbu. That’s very upsetting. I can’t decide which would upset me lost though. Missing a dinner or having/staying with MIL!! Flowers

GhostCurry · 30/07/2018 20:34

I’d be livid. Punished twice - you have to leave the dinner table, where you were just about to eat, and for your troubles you’ve been denied any food altogether.

Are you at her place or yours OP?

Crunchymum · 30/07/2018 20:38

Ask what she is going to make you? Or ask her to pay for your take away.

Idiot woman

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 30/07/2018 20:38

There's no way that was an accident.

Next time she gets up from the table mid way through a meal, for any reason, pick her plate up and make a run for the bin.

ShutUpBaz · 30/07/2018 20:39

Was there anyone else at the table (e.g. DH, DP, FIL) that could have and should have said something?? My DH would never have allowed my MIL to bin my food if I was sorting either of the kids!

Grimbles · 30/07/2018 20:40

Why are you even with a hundred miles of her!?!

(From someone who has read your previous threads)

sexnotgender · 30/07/2018 20:40

I’d be bloody livid! I’m a grump when I’m hungry.

Whyohsky · 30/07/2018 20:41

DH did this once. Never did it again, mind.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 30/07/2018 20:43

I'd fucking kill her. We'll give you an alibi.

Deshasafraisy · 30/07/2018 20:44

Shit that would make me fuming!

AveABanana · 30/07/2018 20:45

Whack her round the head with a frozen lamb joint and cook & eat it. Worked for Roald Dahl.

Eliza9917 · 30/07/2018 20:46

Did she say why?

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 30/07/2018 20:47

So what is your dh doing to rectify this?

Clutterbugsmum · 30/07/2018 20:49

Tell DH go get you something to eat as his mother has thrown away your dinner.

AlexaAmbidextra · 30/07/2018 20:50

I’m surprised you’re even in the same house as her considering how your PILs have behaved.

LanguidLobster · 30/07/2018 20:50

She has form, has she? What were you going to have?

Her and DH need to sort you something out, pronto

honeysucklejasmine · 30/07/2018 20:54

Did DH not stop her?!
