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.

I'm not finding this funny.

There's another thread going where the man ordered himself a burger and was adamant that he didn't want fries or a drink. except when he'd finished his burger he did so he helped himself to his wife's fries and drink without even asking.

It's the men who think they're such a Billy Bigballs, a Big Person, so they're entitled to take whatever they want and the little people (wife and/or kids) will just have to manage with what's left.

It makes my blood boil.

You should feel pleased the cookies are so good

😂😂😂😂

I've been here way longer than fat balls, I must be really fucking old

Do it op, make fat balls and see if he eats them 🤣

You made an odd number of cookies?

'So if you really want to shame him OP, then mention at the next family meal that since there are only 14 cookies left one of the DC will have to do without one day. How do they want to decide it? Will one of them volunteer or do they want to toss a coin or draw lots or something. Basically make it really clear that his gluttony directly results in one of his children having to do without a treat.'

Or she could just not be mental and stick a Kit Kat in the lunchboxes.

There's hardly any protein in those from the oats, even if he ate 8 of the cookies.

Does everyone here hate their husband? Eating 8 cookies is a bit much but does it really warrant a whole thread where you know that other women will lambast your husband and call him a greedy pig with a fat belly?

Also, what is up with the disordered view of food here? Having a large meal or some extra cookies occasionally does not make you greedy. It's such an unhealthy approach to food where it's seen as a moral failing to actually enjoy eating.

Oh come on, how much protein in 2/3 cup of oats divided by 24 biscuits

I mean they sound delicious, and I'd eat way more than 8 if they were warm out of the oven, but let's not pretend they're a healthy option.

Food is my love language and so it would make me happy that my DH ate lots as it would make me feel like I’d given love and it had been appreciated. But I think I’m an bit odd.

Its a bit greedy but there’s still lots left and the kids don’t need a cookie everyday for school so I think it’s prob fine.

Don’t forget ‘call the Police’.

Unless you told him they weren’t for him, I think it’s perfectly reasonable of him to eat some of the lovely biscuits you had baked.

Oh gosh yes. This is the answer.

If the most you’ve ever eaten in one go is four custard cream sized biscuits then you are not the world’s biggest sugar fiend. You’re not even Sunday league. Sit down, you amateur, you’re giving us real sugar fiends a bad name!

But how is it disordered eating when someone eats substantial meals? I got taken the piss out of a bit because I said it’s greedy to eat eight cookies in 2 hours, and it is for me personally. Lighter Jaffa cakes maybe not.

I suppose it depends how much someone has eaten through the rest of the day, but it’s a bit much to assume someone under eats because they say eating eight cookies is a bit greedy 🤣 I would feel sick eating that many in that space of time. They are filling.

I said in one sitting 🤣 I literally love biscuits and chocolate, and cups of tea with 2 sugars at a time which I drink about 8 a day 🤣, but in one 2 hour period, carb heavy biscuits which make me bloated? Nope.

“Hey dh, I’ve batched cooked some biscuits for the dc’s lunches. They’re lovely, but do me a favour and don’t eat more than X amount”.

Sorted.

my Family loves digging in to fresh baking. This is why I almost always make a double batch. Not twice the work and then I have enough to last.

Yeah. But one would assume an adult can do basic maths.

23 cookies and 5 people in the family is four each and three remainder. So eating EIGHT of them is really completely selfish

There isn't any need to eat 4 biscuits in one go either though is there? Why is the amount you like ok but if someone eats more then that's greedy?

Well it depends how much you have eaten throughout the rest of the day, doesn’t it? I was replying based on the assumption that DH has his meals and other snacks through the day, then ate 8 biscuits? Probably more context needed.

She asked for everybody’s opinions and personally I couldn’t eat 8 in the space of two hours. Jaffa cakes? Yep, probably, as they’re not as heavy, and I could eat 8 biscuits spaced throughout several hours.

I can see where the OP is coming from. It doesn’t mean anyone’s right here as everyone eats different amounts but it will never be a case of disordered eating to not want to eat that much of one thing in a short space of time.

Jaysus, I'd be more 🙄 at your counting at how many I took and then running to MN to whinge 😁
Biscuits I bake last 5 seconds in this house. Which is the way I want it, rather that than they nibble on one a day and then wonder why I end up chucking them as they've started to go soft/mouldy 😭

It’s your fault for having children with a man like that. Where is your self respect?

🤣🤣 Typical MN response lol

lol I choked

mainly for the kids, we're adults, we don't need bloody biscuits
Ok just clocked this bit and up my YABU to YABVU

Maybe if you weren't used to such a regular dose of pure sugar you would be able to enjoy 8 cookies more.
Some people don't really have much sugar or carbs in their meals and snacks and go all out then with a dessert.

Some people will take the bloatedness because they're enjoying the cookies so much, nothing wrong with that occasionally.....and I bet they would feel equally or more shit if they were drinking 8 sugary teas a day like you do.

I used to drink around the same myself but now I can't even imagine having sugar in my tea 😷
