When you host a cookout, you expect to eat, obviously. In the story below, it was this mom's birthday. She decided to do a backyard cookout with her family and enjoy some time outside swimming. Her husband decided to invite his best friend/coworker, and the friend brought his pregnant girlfriend and their children. Sounds like a relaxing day, right? So the birthday girl bought $90 worth of meat to grill, and her husband took care of the cooking. When the food was done, she and her son weren't hungry yet, so they continued swimming for a while. Once her husband let her know that he was running to the store for beer, she and her son decided it was time to eat. But by the time they made it over to the grill, not only were their guests gone… but so was the food. Keep reading to see how the rest of the story played out. Work on Monday is definitely going to be awkward.

    My birthday was yesterday and my husband invited his best friend Matt and his best friends pregnant girlfriend Jane out for a BBQ. They live 2 houses down from us. It was only us, our 3 children and them here (and their 3 kids). I spent about

    she could take some for leftovers but I didn't think she would take all of it". He then tells me there was at least 8 burgers and 10 hotdogs left, as well as macaroni salad when he left for the store 10 minutes prior. I tell him to call Matt and see where tf

    all the food is. He does. He then calls me back and says that Matt claims Jane only took "a few" and that they had already been eaten. But my oldest son (13) straight up tells me he saw Jane walk off our property carrying the entire dish (one of those extra large tin foil BBQ dishes).

    Anyways, I'm I at this point. Me and my son hadn't eaten anything. My husband is also | but he just grabbed me and my son something from the store instead of making a huge fuss. I don't really blame him (him and Matt work

    you've eaten plenty considering you took off with my entire BBQ dinner before me and my son could eat anything". She tried arguing that my husband told her she could have it, that "half of it was hers" (cause they brought 2lbs of hamburger meat)

    and that she "didn't realize" me and my kid hadn't eaten (she was beside the grill the entire time). I just shrugged my shoulders and walk away. She tells her kids to "let's go" and they leave without cake. Now I'm feeling like I may be the No one has said anything but I know there's tension.

    cassowary32 • 20h ago NTA, if the party is still going on, there aren't leftovers yet, it's just food. Why would she leave then come back? That's just weird.

    cheemzpleamz • 19h ago She used your party as an opportunity to feed her family for the next day or so, icing on top is she didnt even confirm if everyone had eaten yet, "leftovers" is exactly that, whats left after everyone has eaten... NTA

    cutie_katey • 21h ago NTA. You spent all that money, cooked for a crowd, and Jane took everything? It's totally okay to deny her cake after that. Maybe there's a misunderstanding.

    . Token_or_Tolkienu POS 19h ago Lol...Jane is that one coworker who lifts everything from the staff kitchen and loads it in her car without asking if everyone is done or if anyone also would like to have some leftovers. God I hate these people.
