Ds's girlfriend

[Magic Mom]

Last night I discovered I have a split personality. One half that is a mature grown up and the other half is petty, immature, selfish butinskee future mother in law! ACK!!!
Yesterday was DS's birthday. I planned his big dinner and ordered a big expensive ice cream cake (that he begged for). I also invited his girl friend. She is sweet and pretty. She is very nice to DS.
She brought a giant pudding dessert. Long story short, they all loved her pudding thing (do I sound bitter) but hated the really expensive begged for ice cream cake. I felt fangs growing and little devil horns popping out of my head. Everyone went on and on about the bowl of pudding and then she said........" oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to show you up.".......... ( I honestly do NOT think she was being snarky about that comment)
Luckily, the grown up in me spoke first and said " Don't be silly, we love desserts! I'll have to get your recipe."
The rest of the night I felt evil towards her.(The grown up hid it well)
I'm not sure why I felt that way...it's not like I made the ice cream cake. I just bought it from the ice cream place. I still feel evil though. There must be more then the cake thing going on. I don't want to be one of those mother in laws one day. If only she would do everything the way I wanted them done, then it would all be perfect....sigh

Hopefully the "grown-up" side of you will hand out a merciless beating to the petty-MIL" side of you and she'll never be heard from again...

It's a good start though, that you at least recognized it. It's the first step to recovery.

I'd be jumping up and down that no one ate the ice cream cake because there would be more for me . We got DS16 an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen because we wanted one--he doesn't like any kind of cake so he got a blizzard instead .

 

[Mickey&Donald]

Wowzas. Good thing you saw it this early so you have time to reign it in and hopefully, kill those urges.

In my experience, everyone always wants ice cream cakes, but no one really eats them. It's a mystery of the universe.

Who in their right mind picks pudding over ice cream???
Unless it was plain vanilla ice cream and cooked chocolate pudding, it is no contest in my book.

The truth is it was not so food. The cake had a wierd taste and the ice cream was stale. But still!!! I'm the mom! stomping feet

I'm pretty sure the blizzard your DS got was better then the cake I bought...and about 22.00 cheaper.

Get your money back.

OK OK, I confess. It was a banana cream pie pudding thing with an actual crust that she cooked in a big 13x9 inch pan, covered in whipped cream. The story doesn't favor me as much if I have to give the full description....

Sorry, but yeah. When presented with the two choices, I'm going with the banana cream pie thing every time.

Wow...better rope in the green eyed monster now. I had envisioned a plain bowl of pudding from her next to a "Coldstone Creamery" cake from you. I see the monster left out a few details...

BTW, how exactly does ice-cream go stale?

Personally I'd be grateful that I would never have to produce a cake for any celebratory events associated with DS ever again.

Now, the hospitable thing to do would have been to put some of the (clearly inferior) banana pudding thing on the plate and then drop a big old slab of the ice cream cake on top. Let the ice cream get a little bit melty and then eat it all together. It's like ebony and ivory. All smooshed up together living in perfect harmony on your dessert plate. Now if there's any of either left over I'll be right there.

I love making desserts. Now if someone wanted to bring every other bit of food, that would be fine with me.

You can make one for my birthday? It's in December.

Actually I just graduated and no one made me a cake, so wanna get baking?!

Oh, I have had many a stale ice cream cake. I think a lot of times those boxes they're sold in are not meant for protecting the cake in the freezer. It lets in the air and makes everything taste disgusting.

At this point, I'd rather go dessert-less than eat an ice cream cake.

I think I know what she's talking about. Every month at work, we have a birthday celebration and anyone who has a birthday in that month gets to pick a dessert, which the owner's assistant is in charge of bringing in for the party. We have a little grocery store across the street , so she often goes there to get the desserts because it's convenient, but their ice cream cake is terrible! It tastes stale or freezer burned or like it's absorbed that freezer food smell sort of. It's not at all like a Coldstone or Dairy Queen cake!

Come on over. Half the cake is left, and about 10 pounds of the pie (it was a really big pie).

One thing I didn't mention (no reason, I just forgot) was how DS reacted to the fact that she brought him a birthday pie. It made him so happy. He was blushing.
His past GF's have been drama queens with lots of problems and very little personailty. This girl is just a sweet normal high school girl, that plays sports and works at the mall.
I guess I would rather have extra dessert over drama queen, flunkies any day.

Eat the ice cream cake thus putting on at least 5 pounds of pure ice cream cake muscle guaranteeing you can take her down in a cat fight. I don't encourage the cat fight but you'll feel better knowing you can whoop her.

I'm just saying.....
