Baked 23 cookies, dh ate 8 of them

[27Bumblebees]

I baked some cookies after dinner, like I do most weekends so the kids had some slightly less unhealthy snacks to go in their lunch boxes and to just have in the house. At the end of the night I went to put them in a container from the cooling rack and only 14 remained. I had one, so dh took 8 of them in the two hours since I cooked them! What kind of shitty self control is that.

I feel more pissed off that I took a little bit of time to do something nice (mainly for the kids, we're adults, we don't need bloody biscuits), and he's just gone for it with no respect for anyone else. Only apologised when I called him out for it. Ugh.

He must’ve been really hungry

Only 8?
In 2 hours I could have snaffled many more. I admire his restraint TBH. Freshly baked biscuits mmmmmm.

The answer is don't bake such nice biscuits.

Or LTB.

That was a joke, you numpty.

If you don't want them eating, don't bake them.

I'll do some extras and pack them up for you lot

Only 8. I take my hat off to your DH's self restraint.

I'm with OP here because she's trying to think ahead for kids' lunchboxes and I assume her DH won't be the one sorting a replacement.

I need to see a picture of the cookies before I pronounce my judgement

Well kids are half sized humans so he left them 4 each to his 8
I think that is fair, especially since you don’t care for your own obviously delicious biscuits. 😋

they will be stale by Tuesday anyway..,

Adults don't need biscuits? What fresh hell is this? 😱😜

Next time make fat balls - that’ll learn him.

(Anyone else old enough to remember this one?)

Only 8? Half a man - I could have eaten hundreds in that time.

Well I could easily eat an entire packet of custard creams with a cup of tea so 8 seems fairly restrained.

Yes!! Loved that thread.

LTB

YANBU. It’s greedy and selfish to eat 8, especially as I’m sure he knows full well that they were intended for the children.

I can't not read this in some mumbling, barely decipherable hip-hop drawl.

Shizzle my nizzle blud 🤣

It doesn't sound much fun in your house, op.

Meh sometimes you just need to be a little bit greedy and selfish though.

Life is short. Eat the cookie.

He's saving the children from learning that junk food and sweets is an appropriate lunch. Hero of a man.

we need the food forensic squad

Our school won't allow coconut (I know it's a seed and have pointed it out!) I realise this isn't the point of this thread.

I do think you have a bit of a point. I mean, I’m the world’s biggest sugar fiend and always eating biscuits, but the most I’ve ever eaten in one go is 4, and even then they were only custard cream size, so if they were large round cookies then I think that’s a bit greedy. There isn’t any need to eat 8 in 2 hours.

That's the way the cookie crumbles, I'm afraid.
