BD 4 has her preschool graduation tonight. I e-mailed my husband to let him know I plan to get pizza at my parents' house (they watch my kids while I work and are close to the preschool). That way we can eat and go to graduation.
He said, "What should I do about dinner for SD?" That is his first concern. My response is, "Why the hell should I care? I assume that means she's not coming to BD4's graduation." This is the same kid who he lets eat something else if what I make doesn't suit her.
I say, let her come to the graduation and get pizza or let her stay home and fix something for herself. I need a witty comeback that makes my position perfectly clear!
She can have whatever she wants
as usual.

u could say
i dont know, what do princesses usually eat for dinner when what their poor servants (which would be u & the family) are having isnt up to princess standards??? that or, if shes too good to come to graduation, then she can starve for all i care.
Tempted to say
If she's old enough to choose to opt out of BD's graduation, she's old enough to fix herself something for dinner. Not my problem.
That is a good
one. AT that age she should be able to. Heck My SS's 8 & 10 make toaster waffles all the time & they are pretty helpless.
I like the princess
I like the princess comment.. but also like your idea.
Have a great time at bd 4's graduation. Your DH WILL be there.. RIGHT?
Yes, amazingly
My mom was about to pitch a fit. This has been on the calendar for a month. Then, Sunday, my husband says, "Oh, I think there's a problem. That bike ride I was signed up for was changed from Wednesday to Thursday." In other words, it is on BD4's graduation night. And he was seriously considering going, and missing BD4's graduation! Try explaining that to her some day!
Finally, a couple of days later, he said, "Well, I guess I'm coming to the graduation." And I said, "Good choice. You have chosen wisely, grasshopper." And he got upset. "You mean I had a choice?" I'm like, "You bet you did." And then he's like, "But you wouldn't have liked it if I chose the other one." Of course I wouldn't. Who would?!
Call the UN
Tell him to call the UN, there's a bunch of AID not being excepted by the Burmese (or Myanmar) government to aid in the cyclone disaster. Perhaps the United Nations can help feed your helpless needy SD.
Ha! Too funny
I love that one. My husband would not find it funny.
"What do I do about dinner
"What do I do about dinner for SD?"
Feed her?
Oh Elizabeth
In your SD's case I'm afraid my reponse would be simply "I don't give a rat's ass!"
That's my response!
Unfortunately, to preserve family harmony (whatever that is), I can only say it in my head. But it was pretty much my first response!
Basically, she can get something for herself or she can go hungry. I don't care.
Good Christ...
"Well...what do I do about dinner for SD...?"
You smile brightly and you tell him with all the congeniality you can muster:
"I got the perfect plan...there's this place out near the highway, the food's great and the prices are even better!"
When he asks what this place is, you snap, "McDonalds!"
When he squawks about that...you tell him, "hey, the kid can come eat pizza but if she doesn't want to, her arms ain't broken and fixing a peanut butter sandwish doesn't take a degree from Harvard!"
OOOoooooooo I feeling bitchy today

LMAO
fearless, every day u continue to crack me up!! i love it!!
Here's what I said
"I'm reasonably certain she can find SOMETHING to eat in the house, considering that she does it all the time if I make something she doesn't like. "
Not particularly witty, but...
*laughs*
I like my line better

I like yours too!
Problem is, SD would jump on getting McDonalds, and husband would be fine with that. But then SD would want a ride there and back (she's too lazy to walk or ride her bike). Then husband would be catering to her every whim and let her drive with her permit, then he would be late for BD4's graduation. It's just not worth opening up that can of worms!
Oh I hear ya girl...
The entitlement of these little step-bitches is awful. Hugs to you girl!

Let her eat cake.
That's what I would've said. Not sure he'd have gotten the Marie Antoinnette reference, though.

rolls eyes at yet another man who can't figure it out!!!
'I don't know - send her to the food bank'
'The cat might have some leftover food - does she like tuna feast?'
'Feed her' - as already stated, but adding '...dumbass at the end'
"I don't know, why don't you phone your mom?"
"Fridge = open, take out food. Stove = turn on"
And my fav....
'My gosh I never thought of that! Thank you for reminding me dearest. I'll just call my personal chef & send him right over! Does caviar & brie for starters, a nice duck l'orange for the main course and a truffle glazed with a nice raspberry coulis for dessert appeal to her palate?'
I love it!
All good suggestions! I'd have had a hard time not saying, "Who gives a shit?!"

My SD would ask to see the wine list
Geez *rolls eyes*
Has he ever heard the term "Eat Shit" ?
Perfectly fitting in this case I would imagine.
Or more politely: You know what honey, my BD is having her big graduation night and the last thing on my mind at this moment is what your daughter is going to eat. I had to sort out what to feed my daughter, perhaps you could do the same. *Click*
Catch xx
*Mean People Suck*
I would say in my most
I would say in my most sincere, honest voice: "Well I'm sure that sd wouldn't dream of missing her little sister's preschool graduation. I'm sure you didn't mean to insult sd by suggesting she wouldn't want to be with her family tonight, but I think she should plan to eat pizza with the rest of us." Then smile, and walk away.
I know what princesses eat
TRIPE and lots of it!
This does get old
Before I left work yesterday I got a call from an old friend that wanted to stop by to visit from out of town. I didn't expect her until after 7:30 or so. Around 4:30 Dh calls,
Dh: "I thought we would order out for dinner"
Evil: "Sounds great, I would love some pizza"
Dh: "Ok"
15 Minutes later, another call from DH,
Dh: "I'm going to the store to pick up a couple of things, I think I'll just get fried chicken since you have company coming"
Evil: "What happened to pizza?"
Dh: "I don't want company in the middle of dinner and I have to feed SD"
Evil: "Company is not coming until much later, I am leaving in 15 minutes, order the pizza now"
Dh: "Oh, ok, I was just trying to make it easy"
Evil: "I don't really care for the fried chicken, will the pizza be ok?"
Dh: "Anything you want is fine w/me"
So I get home and pizza is delivered 20 minutes or so later, did SD have any? Nope! See, this is what gets me; SD eats pizza, she likes pizza but she didn't want that last night apparently so we have to get something seperate for her. I just don't understand, this happens probably 5 out of 7 meals at our house.
My mother use to force us to eat liver at least once a month, what do you think would happen in your house if you tried that on your Skids? HA!

chez evil
why make something else for her?? It's not a restaurant! I have two options here: eat it, or don't eat it. At first DH used to make them something over and over again with them saying 'i don't liiikke iiiit'. That lasted oh, about a week with me. No longer like that anymore. I wouldn't make anything else for her. She should eat what everyone else eats or go hungry! She won't die from lack of dinner.
Hell, it's not me
It's DH. I do not run a restaurant at my house, if someone wants something other than what we have for dinner they will make it themselves. Where SD is concerned however, Dh has laid that groundwork for years with her, I have vehemantly opposed this for some time now but it is difficult to change. Dh gets home before I do and insists that SD is starving and he will make her something or buy her something to "get her out of the way". Most of the time she is eating by the time I get home.
He flip flops so much it's like watching one of those mexican jumping beans sometimes, one day she eats with us, the next day he is ordering chinese. FOR HER AND NOONE ELSE! We have issues with this I know but I am just so tired of fighting a loosing battle.

Amen sister
I make 1 meal and if itis not good enough, too damn bad. You go without. I am not a short order cook. Call your mommy if it makes you mad...
