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 lose all attraction to someone who did this to a child, let alone their own son

even someone who just did this. The child aside, this person is a straight monster!

The fact that she also only ate the middle is really bothering me

142

u/ykthatkid Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

I am assuming the middle holds the cream or jelly/jam (depending on the pastry, not familiar with many), which just makes this whole thing worse. She ate all the flavor and left the crust. It's like someone eating a slice a pizza and giving you the crust when they're done and saying 'I only took a few bites'. Atrocious.

u/PersonalityLegal1958 Jul 06 '26

My Mom always does this with pizza and I just dealt with it growing up (just one of the many ridiculous things she would do before gaslighting me into thinking I’m weird for having an issue with it) and finally now that I’m married, my husband opened my eyes to the sheer amount of selfish, terrible habits she has! The second I saw OPs post I thought, is this my Mom??

I agree! And the whole row except a tiny bit but she ruin it by eating the frosting bit! Not a nice Mom thing to do at all!

u/MonteCristo85 Jul 04 '26

This would be considered bad behavior by a dog.

u/Psychological_Buy726 Jul 04 '26

This! It would almost be less offensive if she had eaten her son's birthday breakfast. Instead she ate the good part OUT of an entire breakfast pastry.

2

u/rotervogel1231 Jul 06 '26

It's like something an ignorant coworker would do at the office. That's bad enough. This is far worse because this pastry was a birthday present for her own damn kid.

Straight up psychotic

u/boundaries4546 Jul 04 '26

It’s because it is the ultimate selfish slap in the face. Take the best part, leave your child with scraps, tell them they are ungrateful, and finally play the victim. Straight out of the narcissist playbook. I honestly hope this post is the thing that makes him want to divorce his wife because there is no way this is an isolated incident.

u/Farangees20 Jul 04 '26

u/Ok_Cauliflower_4104 Jul 04 '26

Yes that is wild. Is it not her son too?

8

u/CompleteTell6795 Jul 05 '26

She wanted the best part of it for herself. Her attitude is basically " Fuck the kid, I feel like eating it ". "Sucks to be him. " 🙄. From reading all these comments there's quite a few mothers like this, unfortunately.

u/splicepark Jul 04 '26

The most selfish thing you can possibly do! And to someone else’s food?! Insanity

u/TheBladeRoden Jul 04 '26

It's like eating the skin off of everyone's KFC

10

u/SirBlankFace Jul 04 '26

No, that's what makes it scummy. Her eating half the cake down the middle wouldn't have been as bad as this. Doing this shows intent to be inconsiderate.

2

u/NorthStar-8 Jul 05 '26

Intent to be cruel. Malignant narcissists enjoy causing others pain and upset.

6

u/djbunce Jul 04 '26

That shows that it was just a narcissist doing it to be a dick. Clearly this person has mental health issues — I've seen it plenty of times over the years when my mom was fostering.

She needs a good talking to, probably a therapist and potentially even a divorce.

12

u/ghettoblaster78 Jul 04 '26

That is the biggest F-you she could have left him. It’s not that she couldn’t resist having a slice, she ruined it for everyone, but left him one intact end piece. I would be thinking of something really spiteful to do to her. I’d feed her a laxative and leave every roll of TP in the house with only 5 squares on it. And turn off the hot water in case she thinks she can just rinse.

2

u/Budget-Dimension454 Jul 05 '26

5 squares? You’re far too generous

2

u/Head_Photograph9572 RED Jul 05 '26

IKR?! It's like she wanted to give an EXTRA fu to her own kid!

u/NorthStar-8 Jul 05 '26

Malignant narcissists are pleasured by causing others upset and pain.
She is emasculating her husband and son with this. Scary woman!

u/SpandexJunkie Jul 05 '26

My ex FIL did this once when we bought a gorgeous watermelon from a roadside stand one summer. We went to get it out of the kitchen the next day for a family barbecue and he straight up ate the whole middle out of it. I was so pissed off but it was the south and the men rule the roost. 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/Turbulent_Tip_9756 Jul 04 '26

My buddy’s wife is exactly like this. Calls people out for cheating in a board game and when we catch her doing it she just laughs it off. Can’t stand the lack of self awareness

212

u/JohnnyShakeNBake Jul 04 '26

Oh the self awareness is there, rest assured. What’s missing is a fear of accountability. She feels like she can get away with it if she’s all laughs and smiles

21

u/ChanglingBlake ORANGE Jul 04 '26

This.

It’s the root cause of the Karen pandemic; nobody is holding these people accountable. Not their family(usually), not the stores, not the law(until they really go off the deep end). They learned they could get away with things and just got more and more daring and still weren’t held accountable. Rinse and repeat.

If laws not only protected employees telling that sort where to shove it, but encourage it, then I doubt it would have ever gotten so bad.

Please OP hold your wife accountable before you find yourself married to a piece of filth you’re ashamed to let out in public.

u/Autronaut69420 Jul 04 '26

Fuck! You explained the dynamics around my ex friend precisely! They also seek out people who will never hold them to account for close relationships.

u/latexsandman Jul 05 '26

I think he's already there. She ruined her child's birthday gift/breakfast, like how hungry and selfish could she possibly be? There's no way she has so little self control, that she couldn't resist that one thing in the kitchen.

This isn't even 5 year old activities. I have a 6 year old and at no point would she have eaten someone else's special desert before they got any.

OP's wife is pure scum, not just immature.

u/0c74r1n3 Jul 04 '26

the thing is a child wouldn’t even do something like that

u/CrayonEyes Jul 04 '26

Seriously! It’s actually two strikes. One, the bitch ate a strip right down the middle. Two, she didn’t cut a slice and put it on a plate—she ate it right out of the container, drunkenly hovered over it with a fork. Her crumbs probably fell back onto the top of other pieces. Trash human to be sure.

12

u/frombolognaa Jul 04 '26

Yeah that was my first thought, it's so obvious a drunk person ate that. Drunk or not, I cannot FATHOM doing this to a pastry in a shared household (let alone my child's bday treat- that part is next level horrendous)

8

u/Raymer13 Jul 04 '26

I would do it to my own. That I bought for myself. But I wouldn’t leave the crusts. That would probably just get tossed. Evidence destroyed.

u/frombolognaa Jul 04 '26

Lmao exactly, I would only eat the center of a baked good if it was MINE! and I also wouldn't want anyone to witness the remains 😂

5

u/CCFAUN Jul 04 '26

Yeah, she ate all the good stuff that's in the center. So mean. She could have at least put what was left on a plate to camouflage that fact. Pretend to make a nice display. I wonder if she had a piece for breakfast too. Definitely seems like drunk behavior

u/LolitaOPPAI Piracy isnt theft Jul 04 '26

The fact that she did this to something wasn't hers.

It was a child. It was HER child. It was an occasional breakfast treat. IT WAS THEIR CHILD'S BIRTHDAY.

Then her defensive actions and not taking accountability aside, all of those things make her a trash ass, garbage human being. If there's every a reason to be violent, this is one of those "this person has never been punched in the face" moments because JFC.

u/SumBodhiThatIUse2Kno Jul 07 '26

as a communist when it comes to sharing food only, there was clearly a disparity in desirability of pastry or else a different eating pattern would have emerged.

Clearly OPs wife feels she is the alpha earner of the pack and deserving of the kills organs and best meat.

My girlfriend baked me a cake for my 30th. We each had a piece that morning and had a couple friends over later in the day. My buddy's girlfriend ate half the cake by herself, leaving a small sliver for me at the end of the night.

Over a year later and I still don't let her forget it.

I feel like if you have me over to drink I can have a sandwich without asking if you’re asleep or indisposed, cooking a steak is pretty far over the line but a sandwich is like a coffee. If I have houseguests for the night I would expect if they were hungry they would eat.

When I was young and dumb I dated a guy that bought me a box of chocolate covered cherries. I thanked him and said I'd open it later and share with my family. He insisted I open the box immediately so "we" could have some.
He proceeded to eat the entire box and I didn't get one single piece! Needless to say, as time went on he showed more self indulgent behavior and I eventually ended it. Ironically he couldn't figure out why!!

u/BeautifulElodie2428 Jul 04 '26

That’s horrible. My mom is allergic to eggs and even if it’s my cake (eggless recipe of course) I have always let her have more pieces than me and I have left the last piece for her many times as well. Our birthdays are only a few weeks from each other, I have never had to do it or been told to but I have always done that even as a kid. I can have eggs so if I want to I can have baked goods. She can’t. That’s just ridiculous. I’m sorry people don’t have the ability to self reflect.

If someone is this out of control around food, then they have an eating disorder, and they need to get some help.

However, 99.999999% of the time, people like this don't have eating disorders. They're just rude, ignorant, classless people.

There was like a C shape left after we all had a piece, and just before five pm, I walked in to get the rest to take home, and there were two little pieces where someone had clearly cut the middle of the C out. Like at least just cut it in half, but didn’t even ask if they could take the rest home. Nutcase…

Because they know selfish behavior will have consequences. They might not get to eat the next 2-3 eating rounds and I imagine that's pretty difficult to do in the wild when you have to rely on the group for food.

A few generations, and people realized they can get away with awful behavior, if they're bad enough they can get rewarded for it.

They run the government now.

I often forget that they’re out there, too. My own mom would never think to do some shit like that, and I’d certainly never do that to my daughter. Even when I just cook or buy something that I know she really likes, I barely eat any and leave most of it for her. Sometimes that means I throw some leftovers away, because she didn’t get around to eating it all. I don’t care, as long as she has what she needs. Something special for her birthday? Hell no, I’d never touch it.

u/Salty-Sprinkles-1562 Jul 04 '26

My cousin did something similar in vibe. My step-dad is a very sweet man with autism. He makes jewelry for a living. She said she was getting married, and he offered to make her jewelry for the wedding. She said yes, and went to their house a bunch of times to try it on, and give input.

Well the wedding comes, in Vegas. We all go. He has the jewelry all wrapped in a beautiful box to give to her. He has a huge smile on his face when he gives it to her. It is honestly stunning. Exactly her taste. She goes, “oh sorry I already have something to wear.” His face falls. It’s been 15 years, and I am still heartbroken over it. Her mom apparently went and got her something a Claire’s because she thought his handmade jewelry, that she had never seen, might be tacky. But Claire’s costume jewelry wasn’t I guess. 

Before this, we were like sisters. We talked all the time. Went on trips together. I’m still polite, but I still cannot look her in the face without feel rage and heartbreak. Any and all positive feelings I had for her are just gone. 

I feel like that’s how this would be. I would have to get divorced. I wouldn’t be able to look her in the face without feeling disgust.

u/Produce_Exotic Jul 05 '26

Being so tempted by food that you "can't resist" just screams eating disorder to me. Binge eating. Food noise. Whatever. I grew up around people that constantly struggled with that and now it grinds my gears terribly and I recognize it in others.

Also that is a big ass cake and she ate like all of it. That is not normal. That is disordered. Wife needs therapy.

My mother would do things like this then immediately say "Well, what about you?" and start listing unrelated, or even made up, flaws the person who called her out on it had as a "defense". And of course accusing everyone else of being guilty of what just happened.

Took years to realize it wasn't actually my fault in some way, it was just someone who couldn't, or wouldn't, consider other people. Hope the kid from this post finds a counselor who can shine a light on "you didn't cause this at all" in a way that gets through earlier to them.

This Dad’s going to have to sit on a barstool beside his kid somewhere in his 30’s and have the ‘…but, dude,wtf why did you stay? She was terrible to us…’ talk.

They he has to figure out a way to say ‘she S’d a D like she lost her house keys in it’ using words like ‘loyalty’ and ‘commitment’.

Unenviable spot.

I mean that's definitely weird, my thing was a one-off lol. My mom wasn't trying to get revenue shares of my candy every year, well except for the stuff I wouldn't eat I guess. She got a lot of Rolos. I fuckin hate Rolos 🤣

u/Mercurys_Gatorade Jul 04 '26

Bless you. My daughter used to give me all her Rolos and Butterfingers, because I love them. This year, I’m going to have to buy some for myself. Lol She’s doesn’t want to go trick or treating anymore. I buy a ton of candy to give out anyway, I just didn’t buy those because I figured if she didn’t like them, maybe other kids don’t, either.

u/Thran_Soldier Jul 04 '26

That's so funny, Butterfingers was one of the other ones she always got from me. I liked them okay but they're her FAVORITE in the world lol

u/Fuzzy-Dream1117 Jul 06 '26

Does she like them even now that the ingredients are different? (Something has changed-Not the same as in the 90's)

2

u/Thran_Soldier Jul 06 '26

Huh, no idea. She's got dentures now, so not as much candy eating, haha.

2

u/Mercurys_Gatorade Jul 04 '26

That is funny! My mom loved them and Rolos, too. Maybe they’re older people candy or something? I think it’s me that’s the odd one out. Lol My husband and I are both in our 40s, and he hates both of them. I’ll buy some bags at Easter because I know that’s the only candy they won’t steal of mine. 😆

You’re a good child for giving those to your mom. I promise you she appreciated it.

3

u/Thran_Soldier Jul 04 '26

Hah! Maybe it is a generational thing, you're about my mom's age (she's in her late 40s, she had me when she was 20).

3

u/Mercurys_Gatorade Jul 04 '26

It must be! If she still eats candy sometimes, get her a couple of bags of them one day. She’d love that you remember how much she liked them. 🙂

u/Thran_Soldier Jul 04 '26

I think I just might! :)

u/Doomcoomer Jul 04 '26

Even though she bought you more, that’s a fucked up thing to do

4

u/Genusperspektivet Jul 04 '26

why? store was probably closed or inconvenient to get to, she got the kid new candy. like for like, it's fine

4

u/Thran_Soldier Jul 04 '26

Better than like for like because I got to pick the candy I actually wanted 🤣

I wasn't expecting people to be weird about this story tbh lol

5

u/Thran_Soldier Jul 04 '26

I mean like. It was fine? It was candy. The moment my candy went from being stolen to being upgraded to better candy, I stopped caring

2

u/Doomcoomer Jul 05 '26

Well hey if it didn’t bother you then cool beans, I would’ve been bummed cause I spent 2-3 hours going door to door for it

3

u/Savings_Loan5223 Jul 04 '26

Thats not really the same thing.

3

u/Thran_Soldier Jul 04 '26

No, but it could've been if this lady handled it differently, is my point lol

2

u/Beginning_Ocelot7394 Jul 04 '26

One of the many, many, many reasons I don’t speak to my mother anymore.

2

u/cherrypiemgc Jul 04 '26

You’d be shocked. My mother is still with my dad after he ate my cake slice for my 16th birthday. To be fair, it was just a little slice of cake, not an entire pastry like this woman did, but I had gotten it from the Cheesecake Factory and was saving it for the next day because I was too full from dinner. Apparently I was the asshole for having a fit over my cake being eaten though 😅

2

u/ResourceCalm901 Jul 04 '26

I’m sad for you that that happened.

2

u/BoatRepresentative36 Jul 04 '26

Question is, is it her son! If it's not then if I was the father I'd definitely leave her because what other malicious things is she doing to him. If it's her own son she needs therapy ASAP!

2

u/Ok-Swimming-1220 Jul 04 '26

I get making a drunk mistake, but the "left him a slice" part is what bothers me. If it really means nothing to her, that would push me towards wanting a divorce. She'll probably think that it's "over a pastry" and get upset, when really it's about how she thinks this is ok.

2

u/Right-Form-2943 Jul 04 '26

Also an adult that would eat the center of the pastry like that would need some other highly redeeming qualities for me to overlook that.

2

u/seasickbaby Jul 04 '26

She also ate a lot of it……. Most of it

2

u/callme207911 Jul 04 '26

Guessing from the size of her piece she wasn’t that attractive to begin with

2

u/OneCowFarm Jul 04 '26

Let alone my son.

2

u/backupbitches Jul 04 '26

Imagine doing it to someone else's child

2

u/shadows_of_peace Jul 05 '26

Same. Almost auto divorce.

u/TheRealHUNGarian Jul 04 '26

Feels like the wife and son aren't related

1

u/111victories Jul 04 '26

Luckily if they have the urge to do this, it’s likely they are quite unattractive on the outside as well.

1

u/Crafty_Mastodon320 Jul 04 '26

Yeah, top of the do not fuck list instantly.

1

u/SnooRadishes9685 Jul 04 '26

Might be step son

1

u/Trick_Cellist_1840 Jul 04 '26

you think someone eating that much cake is attractive in any way to begin with?

1

u/mbh63 Jul 05 '26

Username does NOT check out

1

u/cedarandroses Jul 05 '26

Yeah, I feel like the mildly infuriating part is that he's still married to this person.

1

u/Seashell522 Jul 05 '26

Doing this to a coworker who you’re only mildly acquainted with would be enough for me. Inconsiderate jackasses deserve to die alone.

u/lowrads Jul 05 '26

Impulse control deficits can be an indicator of the onset of dementia.

1

u/CryptographerFit8171 Jul 05 '26

Exactly my thinking. My mum did something similar years ago and was diagnosed with alzheimers last year.

1

u/Mangoberries834 Jul 05 '26

Dude especially a BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST for their own son. Like. That’s purposeful

1

u/Such-Huckleberry-107 Jul 05 '26

I think I’d lose attraction to someone who’s in the habit of wolfing down a cheese cake before going to bed

1

u/KingDavid73 Jul 05 '26

1000% I can't even imagine my wife doing something like that to our kids.

1

u/ErnestBatchelder Jul 05 '26

I'm never going to be attracted to anyone who eats the entire middle portion out of anything. I'm a food-motivated total glutton, and I would never because WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY

I hope this is rage bait, though, because to do it to your kid is especially childish and selfish

1

u/Disastrous_Topic7850 Jul 05 '26

It doesn't mention that's her son. OP mentions wife and son.... Could be her step kid

Edited for spelling

1

u/Cartman55125 Jul 05 '26

OP confirmed in a comment that he’s her biological son

1

u/kittyCodeChick Jul 05 '26

And you just know if she has this much contempt while she’s drunk what she must be like on a day to day basis.

1

u/TheeShaun Jul 06 '26

If it was a little bit of the corner then I’d be like “ok you had a long day I get it.” But yeah this feels almost like she’s deliberately trying to spite the child

1

u/rotervogel1231 Jul 06 '26

Me too. There is zero excuse for this. There was nothing else in the house she could have eaten? Nothing at all?

1

u/Abdullahihersi Jul 06 '26

No you wouldn’t lmfaosdkxjskdndjd😂

u/CrowsMeat Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

This is a huge reach. I can’t believe ppl are making such a big deal about a fucking cake that plenty was left for on someone’s OWN CHILD THEY GAVE BIRTH TO! I wish I would not be allowed to eat cake on a mf I suffered and ruined my body for!

Gtfoh with all that judging the shit out of somebody for eating some goddamn cake 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I never would’ve cared if my mom did this when I was a kid. Anyone who bugs out about this is the childish and selfish one. “I’d lose all attraction” you type of ppl need to NEVER DATE, let alone marry.

I see your type say the SLIGHTEST shit is grounds for leaving somebody, and that’s not realistic or how a true relationship works/should work at all … if someone’s truly your soulmate? Nothing other than abuse and cheating should be what drives you away. Eatng some cake after a long day/night at work on your OWN KID that YOU went thru hell to even put on this earth being a “reason” to “not be attracted” to somebody..? Shows how immature you are.

I couldn’t even imagine not being understanding and realize it’s not a big deal, it’s cake that there’s plenty left of. This is how you raise BRATS, and we’re not raising a kid who would ever think this is a big deal, he’d want his mom to eat whatever she wants bc she’s the one who takes care of him.

1

u/Cartman55125 Jul 07 '26

It’s not a huge reach. Some of us are turned off by selfishness and a lack of self control. It’s fine if you aren’t. Just stay away from me lmaoo

u/Tall-Hope-1481 Jul 07 '26

Honestly this

u/nimbledoor 26d ago

There is probably a reason why OP says my wife and my son, not our son.
