To not want to make pancakes now

[moanymoaner]

Dd almost 10 is pancake obsessed and wants to make them now for supper! I'm knackered and full! Have been up since 5.30 and just can not be bothered to make them but she's really highly strung so if I don't she will have the biggest strop! 😩 Aibu to hide so I can dodge making them and her dad do it!

🙄🙄

give her instructions on how to make pancakes herself.
great age to start and pancakes are great to start cooking.

Do you ever say she can’t have anything? Just say no

Yeah, you could sit in the kitchen and supervise. You're not the pancake fairy.

YANBU. Don't make them. Let her strop if she wants to. But I'm sure you have plenty of other food available so she can have that instead.

Can’t you just say no, not tonight. ?

do you always give in to avoid a strop?

I'd be saying nope, not tonight.

I'd be saying no to any request if it was likely to result in a bratty strop to be honest. Unless you want to be back on here asking for advice on a 15 year old who rules the roost!

What's up hun
Yea I do at the moment - she's having a lot of them, I just can't do it today. Of course I say no to her sometimes , she isn't verruca salt , I just can't do meltdowns today!

Also this was a little bit lighthearted post....

Just say no. My 4 year old would understand that.

@redsummershoes yes I am encouraging this too! We have just had a baking set for Xmas so she can start cooking herself!

I’d like a pancake please - with lemon and sugar - thank you!

Buy some frozen aunt Bessie ones for moments like these I think they even go in the microwave if I remember right

Do me one too please!

DD10 is also pancake obsessed. I've taught her how to make them, although she does need help with getting the batter right otherwise it's lumpy. It's the amount of mess that she creates that's the problem though, still training her to clean and tidy up after making them...

I'd say no, not on Xmas day though.

Deffo teach her. My 11yo loves pancakes for breakfast so I taught her. She's starting to be very picky with food and I'm finding she eats every pick of something she's cooked herself, so we are having lots of lessons!

Tell her to fuck off you've done enough today and to fucking play with the fucking toys and leave you alone because you've been up early after fuck all sleep and after that she should be fucking grateful you're awake let alone be thinking of pancakes which she's got fuck all chance of getting the greedy fucker projecting cos I'm knackered

I might make some for breakfast. They cook well in s sandwich toaster.

She's fallen asleep so no pancakes here - however DS 3 is currently kicking off because he wants to play monopoly 🙄 I'm off to bed!!

@moanymoaner, it's not easy but you need to try not to give in to avoid a strop (I have to say I wish I was better at it myself!! Life is so much easier when you do)
