AIBU for eating three hash browns?

[YouNeedToCalmDown]

My teenager thinks I am.

I woke up early with a scratchy throat and fancied something salty. Found them in the bottom of the freezer where they had been for a few weeks. Cooked the three that were left in the air fryer. Yum.

Teenager comes in my room (at 8am) and roundly tells me off. Apparently she had her eye on them - hadn't mentioned it to me though. I wouldn't have eaten them if she had.

This is going to be a long quarantine isn't it?

YANBU, presumably you pay the bills in your house? Your teenager is being very cheeky and rude for telling you off for eating your own food which you purchased!

Thank you drinkygin, my thoughts exactly.
It's too early for gin here. Sad.

time doesn’t exist in quarantine So it’s never too early

We're all going to need therapy by the time this crisis is over

Therapy AND hash browns, I'm half temped to check the bottom of my freezer right now..... mmm salty hash browns 🤤

I'm having hash browns for tea - with beer battered prawns!!! Yum,yum

What? No, you were not unreasonable!

I had mine with brown vinegar eaglejulesk - and a lot of salt. Sore throat seems to have eased a bit.

Thank you. I didn't think I was, but the way she cried "What?? You ate all of them??" made me think perhaps I had been greedy. Teenagers can be very persuasive.

I am going to have to nip this food policing in the bud though.

I really want some hash browns now and we don’t have any

Mine are like that if anyone had the cheek to eat something they wanted - but have no problem when it’s the other way around and the eat a whole box / packet of something

Hope you enjoyed them... I now want some

Im.hoing to making hash browns for brunch now 🙈 thanks op.

From BBC good food:

Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 mins then drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.

Coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl discarding any skin that comes off in your hand as you grate. Season well with salt and pepper and pour over half the butter. Mix well then divide the mix into 8 and shape into patties or squares. The hash browns can be prepared a day ahead and chilled until ready to cook or frozen for up to a month.

To cook, heat the oil and the remaining butter in a frying pan until sizzling and gently fry the hash browns, in batches if needed, for 4-5 mins on each side until crisp and golden. Serve straight away or leave in a low oven to keep warm

No. 3 of them (l assume the standard size?) is only a snack. If she never mentioned then it’s you snooze, you lose!

Unreasonable would have been to leave one all lost and lonely in the freezer.

Not at all unreasonable, I'm eyeing up the potato waffles in the freezer

I love hash browns but they are best fried and I dont have a fryer.

Discoverd hash brown waffles the other day. You need at least three

I love hash browns, if you had 33 of them you still wouldn't have been unreasonable to eat them all.

YANBU

Does she contribute to the food bill?

If not, or either way actually - she can jog on for herself.

Cheeky mare.
Who made her the Chief Of Food Gestapo? Adolf Hitler?

Start charging her keep.

Just to mention, you can get hash brown chips, too...

As my kids would say:

Snooze you lose

Not fast you're last

I'm glad you enjoyed them op and yes, quarantine is going to be long...

Yum I love hash browns. Tell her to get stuffed, then give her a list, gloves and send her shopping

It’s not greedy. Aren’t they very very small anyway so more of a snack as a pp says?

Yabu to eat hash browns. Vile things.

Oh I love hash browns but I don't have any You were certainly not unreasonable, as a PP said, even if there were 33 and you ate them all, still NBU

YADNBU and frankly are negligent to only have 3 in the freezer.

YABU for making me crave hash browns now though!
