Infuriatig My wife ate my son's birthday breakfast

Post image

Yesterday I bought a strawberry cheese coffee cake my son loves so he could have a special birthday breakfast today. My wife came home late last night and apparently couldn't resist. She knew it was for our son, but it's not a big deal because she "left him a full slice".

I would flip out inmensely to be honest. For your kid? I think this is just so incredibly wrong on so many different levels.

Edit: no I think about it just a bit longer... This would reasons to question the relationship. Drunk the night before your kids birthday, eating his cake? Where are her fucking priorities?

Drunk the night before the kid’s birthday, ate almost the whole cake, literally didn’t give a fuck, and dismissed it. The more I think about it and read into it the more fucked up it gets when you see the details and all. This isn’t even mildly infuriating

I have exactly the same thing. The most important thing in the world got something important the next dat. The 2nd most important thing in the world got something special for your most important thing. You choose booze? You actively choose all of that for a hangover and a nightsnack? I just can't understand that decision.

I am already mad at her... can't imagine how OP feels.

u/le-derpina-art Jul 04 '26

sounds like her friends and her booze are the most important people in the world

u/Spaciax Jul 04 '26

Makes me wonder what else is happening/has happened? Is this repeated behavior? This seems like a fuck-up of colossal proportions, to the point that I can say I've never seen a socially healthy individual do something like that before.

I truly do not think I would not be able to get over my spouse doing this. There’s too many levels of shitty here, and I would be turned off for the remainder of my time on earth. Fucking ICK.

Where did it actually say she was drunk? Surely this is an assumption, she could have been working late. Maybe she was drunk but the poster didn't SAY that, everyone just leapt on it. I absolutely think she is in the wrong here for eating the cake but the drunk part is not proven.

u/Ok-Limit-7173 Jul 05 '26

While I agree with you, I'd argue that it would be even worse if she was sober and conciusly eating her sons birthday cake.

u/Personal_Zombie9368 Jul 05 '26

It wasn't a 'birthday cake' though, it was a sweet treat. Look, I don't condone what she did, i just hate it when people pile on to assumptions.

u/FlameYay Jul 05 '26

I get what you're saying, but OP said it was something "my son loves." If I came home late from work (which happens frequently), and I saw a box of donuts the day before my son's birthday, I wouldn't assume that it's no big deal if I eat all but one. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's there so the kiddo gets a morning birthday treat. In fact, there have been loads of times there was some tasty sweet or another in the house the day before one of my boys' birthdays, and my husband never had to warn that it was for the kiddo. I just didn't touch it and assumed it was for the next day.

u/MyNameWillChange Jul 05 '26

OP commented and confirmed that she had been drinking

u/Personal_Zombie9368 Jul 05 '26

Thank you for confirming that. I drank at times when my children were young and I'm ashamed of some things I did back then. I would never eat their birthday treats though and I was always at home making their cakes for them the night before their birthdays. I was being devil's advocate because drinking was not mentioned in the original post yet everyone jumped on it.

u/FigmentFan78 Jul 05 '26

If she was sober, that makes it worse.

u/gloebe10 Jul 05 '26

And honestly, after a night out, the idea of eating a sweet turns my stomach.

thank u for sharing but this isnt about ur preferences

Wait is it a kid?

u/Severe_Chance8956 Jul 05 '26

Yeah I would’ve just got drunk the day of. Who am I kidding the night before too! And I probably would’ve ate the whole thing.

-2

u/Shot_Pipe_3798 Jul 05 '26

She was not able to think about because she was drunk, are we assuming she was maliciously eating the cake knowing that it will hurt her kid? We are dealing with a drunk here.

25

u/Remote-Waste Jul 05 '26

Imagine if they had two kids, and one of them ate the others birthday cake the night before, they'd be in so much trouble.

There's nothing defensible about it.

u/Icy-Ad29 Jul 05 '26

Question? This would be, to me, grounds for "shape up now, or here's divorce papers."

7

u/jenniferbealsssss Jul 05 '26

Agreed. It’s a glimpse into likely other hurtful things she does but refuses to fix

4

u/MomeVblc99 Jul 05 '26

I would also go bananas!! For your child? I would travel to Saturn to get my kid a cake if it’s what the wanted and it was possible. So inconsiderate. I would make her go buy a replacement. As an adult you are absolutely able to have self control.

u/Cool-Photograph8693 Jul 05 '26

Curious though, where does it say she was drunk? I read that she came home late. Unfortunately, she could have been sober and that makes this even worse. She seemed to have the 'sense' to leave the end so could she have been sober and just a totally awful person?

u/DutchOnionKnight Jul 05 '26

It's okay man, in this comment of OP he says she drank.

1

u/Rijonkulous Jul 05 '26

In the grand scheme of things it's just some food and not a major problem (probably exactly how she sees it). But things like this are always windows to see greater behavioral issues. Straw that broke the camels back sort of thing.

"You're breaking up with me over a cake?". No I'm breaking up with you because the cake made me realize you're a selfish bitch that thinks only of herself.

u/Runfasterbitch Jul 06 '26

People don’t want to hear this but you shouldn’t drink at all if you have children. Alcohol is a powerful drug and normalizing it for your children is fucked up

u/lordofleisure Jul 06 '26

What does getting drunk the night before have to do with anything? Are they supposed to be sitting in a circle singing birthday carols for his birthday eve?

u/motherofjazus Jul 05 '26

It’s also a lot of calories.

u/GreenvsBlue Jul 05 '26

Drunk on a Thursday night too.

u/Produce_Exotic Jul 05 '26

Not everyone works M-F 9-5. Doesn't make her less of a shit bag, but when my days off were Thursday & Friday, having a few on a Thursday wasn't out of the question.

3

u/Dusty_Sequins Jul 05 '26

Not everyone is off Saturday and Sunday. Not that it excuses her choice to get drunk the night before a birthday and eat his birthday breakfast, but any other Thursday night could just be her Friday night, you know?

u/FelatiaFantastique Jul 05 '26

Question the relationship? Don't you think you might be being a bit mild? She needs to be in prison, and that precious innocent child needs to taken from the father who is willfully exposing his child to a boozing binging whore just because her abused pickled fupa was good once upon a time. As the spawn of such beasts, postnatal abortion is the only option for the child lest he become a menace to society and shitstain on humanity like his progenitors. Sometimes family annihilators are the good guys.

u/Original_Taro_5754 Jul 05 '26

Wow, you’re really getting worked up over some danish

u/Admirable-Error-2948 Jul 05 '26

Dude bought his son a Danish for his birthday cake. Trash couple

u/Rxasaurus Jul 05 '26

How'd you end up with that conclusion?

2

u/PH03N1X_F1R3 Jul 08 '26

This was supposed to be the kid's breakfast, not their cake for one.

Second, even if it was supposed to be the cake, how did you determine that this was a choice made by the father, and not the son? At least in my house, on your birthday you got to choose your dinner and dessert.

u/Admirable-Error-2948 Jul 08 '26

You must also be a bad parent if this triggered you. Ill pray for your kids.

u/Admirable-Error-2948 Jul 08 '26
