To be feeling grumpy about my missing breakfast?

[listsandbudgets]

I am usually up about 2 hours before everyone else on a Sunday to deal with cats and dog and sometime ago decided that it would be nice to have a quiet treaty breakfast.

This week I bought a bag of frozen pain au chocolat and hid them at the back of the freezer with a label saying "mums please don't eat". 6.45am this morning... they gone all gone. I wasn't planning to eat them all by the way the others were for everyone else later.

AIBU to feel very grumpy that ended up with toast ?

Very disrespectful of your DC.

I can see why you have to mark food as yours as often mum's don't get a look in on the best stuff as they can be vulture like on treat food

I would be upset that they've disregarded the note. Very selfish

I think that a generally pleasant 18yo could make a nice lunch for her mum in this situation (maybe her dad could suggest this.......)

She says she was going to share them, but even if she wasn't, isn't she allowed a nice treat that's just hers?

As a pedant, I would read the notice
mums please don't eat as a request to prevent any mothers from eating the contents.
For anyone else they'd be fair game.
🤣

When your kids wake up, tell them to get down the shops and replace it. If neither will admit to it or go out then tell them your getting a deliveroo and it's coming out of their account/s!
Unless your husband had a lapse in his low carbing and binged on the lot? I know that's the sort of thing I'd do.

I'd wake them all up and tell them whichever selfish idiot ate them needs to go to the shop NOW to replace them!

(Otherwise you're on a food shop strike and will spend the entire weeks food shop budget on you eating out alone every day)

How old are your dcs?

I wouldn’t blast anybody, but I’d tell them how upset/disappointed I was, and to help that fact sink in, would add that I wouldn’t be making any meals for any of them for the rest of the day.

If necessary I’d go out and buy a couple of ready meals just for myself!

I would be seriously annoyed, heads would roll! I hide my Cadbury’s crème eggs in old frozen cauliflower packaging just to be safe.

I love this- a food shop strike

I didn't wake anyone up because

a) why would i want to disturb my otherwise calm and peaceful Sunday morning? i'm interested that so many of you would want to ruin peace and quiet, I get precocious little of it

b) it's sunday shops round here won't open until 11ish

C) I suspect dd and her friends and she's not even here she's at her boyfriends place

anyway dp and ds are up and confirms they didnt eat them. I think dd would have intended to replace them and ive sent her a text saying if she knows anything about my missing breakfast she's not to show her face later without a replacement

This OP.
Give it some serious thought.

I know in the grand scheme of life it's not really important but if your DD has eaten them despite you writing a note on them then that is really disrespectful.
I would be having a conversation about respecting others. Oh and I wouldn't be buying her any treats this week!

I would be furious and next time my kids want food they will be sent into the forest to forage 🤣🤣

It's incredibly rude and disrespectful to ignore a message like that. "I was going to replace them but haven't" is also a shit reaction if that's what your daughter comes back with.

That really made me smile.

dd home with double replacement, endless apologies and an explanation which I quite understand and I'm not sharing here because it involves one of her friends and a difficult situation Suffice to say its done and dusted

@listsandbudgets
Sounds exactly like something my dd would do!
And it was also nice for me to hear about a similar household to mine which is mainly (happy) chaos.
Sometimes the house is only really quiet for about 4 hours overnight. Not because people are disrespectful but shift work and socialising and generally getting on with life.
it’s milk that gets finished here, I’m totally fine with that as I prefer black coffee

Can you not read? She says I wasn't planning to eat them all by the way the others were for everyone else later in her opening post.

Can you not read? Below that post I explained how I didn't see the full message and I stand corrected. Do bore off.

@Nomorecoconutboosts I can't stomach black coffee. I keep cappucino sachets in stock for exactly that reason. To be honest our milk supply isn't too bad as DP likes to make sure he buys another 4 pints as soon as the last 4 pints is started.

We have DD (18) DS (11) adult dss who does not live with us but is in and out regulary, DD's friend whose family family moved to London but is still at school here so frequently stays with us and has a key, various friends of DCs who appear and disappear, 2 cats, 1 dog and a lot of mess
