Ds's girlfriend

[ChrizJen]

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

Oh you poor poor dear!!
I don't have children, but I KNOW for a fact that it's hard to see your son's affection and attention being given to another woman. Many many (MANY) women deal with this in a not-so-pleasant way. Kudos to you for making sure that your Inner Grown-Up kept your Inner Beast in check!!

This thread is cracking me up!!

Oh, and as for stale ice cream, it's more like freezer-burned than stale I guess, but I LOVE ice cream (consider myself a connoisseur of sorts ), and I know what you're referring to. It's not a good taste.

Hang in there, mom. And keep reminding yourself that you're lucky that he's found a "good one"!

For thoes who want a banana pudding recipe, here is mine.

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
4 bananas, sliced
1/2 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers

1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in condensed milk, pudding mix, cold milk and vanilla until smooth. Fold in 1/2 the whipped topping.

2. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish with vanilla wafers. Arrange sliced bananas evenly over wafers. Spread with pudding mixture. Top with remaining whipped topping. Chill.

*If you really like banana flavor, then use instant banana pudding instead.*

That is Paula Deans version of Banan cream pie (except she uses Pepperidge Farm shortbread cookies instead of the 'Nilla Wafers.) It's TO-DIE-FOR.
I make it for potlucks and it always disappears.

Well, I'm happy my cake/pie trauma is providing your days entertainment.
It's also good to know I'm not the only crazy mother out there. Thanks!

Actually, I think you must be a GREAT mom because your teenaged son felt comfortable enough to have his GF over to your house for his birthday dinner. I think that speaks volumes about the kind of mom you must be.

And let's face it, that banana thing sounds like the ultimate decadent comfort food. Who wouldn't love it? (OK, I really want the recipe, too!)

aaaww thank you
But honestly, try the recipe listed above. It is really good, and a little better the the GF's version. (Thats not crazy mom talking either, but I've had both and the recipe the PP gave is amazing. I gain weight just thinking about it.)
