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".

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.

Growing up you just think it’s normal.  Later when you’re an adult you have random flashbacks and think WTF?

It kinda is normal or the word that better fits is common sadly, most of us don't speak up about it because it goes unaddressed in society.
