I have the same issue with a friend who is always buying me sweets. Last week she dropped a cake off at my house. It didn't even go inside the house, I threw it in the car and tossed it in the dumpster at work.


What a waste! Put the cake or cookies in the kitchen area at work. Give it to a neighbor who likes sweets. Give it to the house rented by a group of college kids. Etc.


No one at your work wants or needs nasty junk food. Most of the health problems and deaths in the US are related to diet, the kindness of giving away junk food is literally killing people.

And who has time to go around the neighborhood looking for someone to give a cake to? Just throw it away and be done.

Ha OP should be “allowed” to throw them away if she wants. Grownups get to decide that they don’t want junk in their house. I wouldn’t get into a fight with my husband because of it but just I can’t imagine him thinking that he should get to have treats in the house that I have a hard time not eating. He would be supportive of my health goals.

I think giving them away is better.

Actually I think just eating them is the best option but I get that not everybody is like me.

"I'm getting TOO MANY COOKIES for Christmas, and they're so darn delish, I can't stop eating them!!!!"

I am not exactly sure what counts as a "First World Problem," but I suspect this is probably one of them.

OP, tell us whether your husband actually has said out loud that he doesn’t want these cookies…or if you decided he may not have any because you can’t keep your pudgy fingers from shoveling cookies into your mouth.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see.


Are you okay? The holidays getting to you?

This is completely uncalled for and frankly unnecessary.

Yes, OP should weigh in.

Also you should figure out how to use “calling your bluff” correctly. It doesn’t apply to a poster asking questions with no additional information than you have.
