Have to say I agree. I know everyone’s budgets are different but you can get a small from Domino’s for only about £8. The ketchupped pizza can be the kids’ lunch for tomorrow so it’s not wasted.

This is where people can be really … I don’t know, what’s the word, but just so ignorant. A pack of mince is £5. I coukd get three meals from that.

This thread just got me thinking.......🤔

I have NEVER had a takeaway or delivered pizza.

I like pizza and buy a frozen one from the supermarket or make my own but I have NEVER ordered one and/or chosen my own toppings.

You are missing out.

That’s unkind behaviour from a five year old. Is there more to this?

Yes he’s squirting ketchup because he’s a serial killer in the making. FFS this website 🙄

I'd be raging!

I’m not pearl clutching, I just think it’s concerning to be that incensed over a pizza to be swearing about your five year old. It’s not a rational response, and OP’s further comments on this thread back that up.

I swear about my kids all the time, just not to their faces. I texted DH only this morning to tell him that the teenager was being a grumpy dickhead and that the youngest was not helping matters by being in "deliberately-aggravating little shit mode".

To their faces in calm, emotionally-regulated, and I respond appropriately but sometimes I need to vent to an adult and that involves the use of adult language.

You do you, but I wouldn’t be able to do that, I can’t even bring myself to say anything worse about my ~cat~ than “a little dementor”.

I loathe ketchup. I like almost all foods, but even the smell of ketchup is disgusting to me.

I’d be ordering another.

I really wish a kid pouring tomato sauce over my pizza was the worst thing I had to deal with at the moment. I get it was annoying, but a pizza can be replaced.

You are saying people are ignorant, yet here you are making a massive song and a dance out of a ruined pizza and £8.

Wildly unhelpful. You have no idea if this is the worst thing OP is dealing with or if it's one thing in a long string of other things that has tipped her over the edge. There's no need to invalidate OP's bad times by trying to one up her... if you're in a bad place and you want help, start your own thread.
