Bit of background...
- Was out of work from Oct to Jan following redundancy so no takeaways for a while - I have only recently felt financially secure enough to loosen the belt and treat DS and I.
2)There is a rule in our house that we all sit down together and don't start eating until we are all there.
3)I am prementstrual.
Friday night and we spontaneously go for indian takeaway, arrive home and get caught chatting to neighbour on the way in, tell ds (who is nagging) "Just hang on, I will be there in a few mins"
It was 3 or 4, tops. OK maybe 6 or 7.
I get in and DS (going on 10) is polishing off his portion of pilau and king prawn korma.
I ask about us sitting down together and sharing a treat? He is full and going upstairs. See the red mist.
Cue huge rant from me about him being selfish and doing as he pleases with disregard for others in the house.
Told him to stay in his room til bedtime - I was so angry (hormones) I could have merrily battered him.
Went up to make friends before he went to sleep but am still silently peeved, I'm really bearing a grudge this time. He is growing up so much but is sometimes such a selfish toad!
Come on Mumsnet flamers - tell me off. What level of perspective is needed?
Disclaimer... am hormonal so may bite. Plus I have wine now too! [grrr]
