How picky are you about your favorite food?

[georgeharrison]

We are going up to my mom's this weekend for an early Thanksgiving/late birthday thing.  She asked me what kind of cake I want and I told her funfetti.  She asked me if she could buy a cake instead because she wants me to have a pretty cake.  This is fine.  I asked for funfetti because I thought it might be cheaper/easier for her.  So, when she asked me if she could buy a cake, I told her that was fine if that's what she wants to do, but not to go to Fred Meyer because their frosting is gross and I would hate it.  Then I felt like I sounded like a total brat.  But seriously, I HATE Fred Meyer frosting and I love cake and if she were to get me a Fred Meyer cake I would hate it.  I know she'd want to get me something I'd like for my birthday and cake is my #1 friend, but am I being a punk for being specific about this?  It's too late, I already did, and I know my mom doesn't think I'm a punk, but am I?

No. fM frosting is really gross, I don't know what they dooooo!!!!! She wants you to have a pretty cake but I'm sure she also wants you to have one that you think tastes good, so you're not a brat for stating the store bought cake she shouldn't get. brat would be pitching a fit because ONLY her making Funfetti cake would be acceptable.

(Safeway is my fav!)

Definitely not a punk! It's for your birthday, and your mom wants to get you something you like, so it's good to make preemptive suggestions

I'm picky with cake too. I refuse to eat cake from any grocery store, and am a total snob. I don't see the point in wasting calories on cheap cake.

Nope not being a brat.

Nah, that's legit. If she didn't want your input, she wouldn't have asked!

No. It's your birthday! Plus, I'm sure shed rather know so she gets what you like.
