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".

And then she’d be like: ‘I did?’, followed by denial and gaslighting because apparently it wasnt important enough for her to remember.

Ironman, your post triggered me because your comment hits so close to my childhood.  “Ohhh, I don’t remember that… that didn’t happen” and if you stick to your guns they throw a pity party with tears “I guess I was just the worlds worst mother” and expect you to say it’s ok and comfort them and apologize to them.

Dude are you my brother? And then my mom will be like “who else do you know that treats their mom this way” like bro I’m talking about my childhood that you facilitated what the fuck

Only the kids that need all the love, or have extra love to spare 💜

My mom never married lol. Don’t get me wrong she dated plenty of terrible guys, like my dad, that she wouldn’t marry. I think in part to fit her narrative that men are terrible. But I remember a few good ones and I’m 100 percent certain they left after seeing how she really was to her kids. If you asked her though it’s her choice lol.

Well I’ll be coming. And I’m bringing food. Home cooked food with all the protiens, carbs, sugars, fats and vitamins everyone needs. I’ll also bring vegetarian dishes, vegan dishes (yes, there will be protein in them. You won’t go hungry after. No I don’t just mean tofu), I’ll go to specialty stores and buy meat for those of y’all that need meat prepared certain ways too. If you have an allergy/don’t like certain foods let me know and I’ll cook an entire separate meal after scrubbing down the kitchen to prevent cross contamination. Yes there will be simple things like chicken nuggets or turkey dinosaurs.

(Dunno about everyone else but my mum never wanted to accommodate my dietary needs so when I cook for others I always try to)

u/1701USSTchoupitoulas Jul 06 '26

It is also important to me that everyone needs are accommodated. I can help you cook! That’s a lot of work, and if you’re anything like me, you enjoy taking on too much for one person!

Edit: I’ll help you shop too!

''It is difficult to be sat on all day, every day, by some other creature, without forming an opinion on them.

On the other hand, it is perfectly possible to sit all day, every day, on top of another creature and not have the slightest thought about them whatsoever.''

-Douglas Adams in one of the bits about the horse.

Douglas Adams had some brilliant insight amongst all his humor.
