You're on the Bert show.

Is he the a-hole for blocking a kid from having a piece of cake?

Now you just hear that title and you're like of course he's an a-hole if you blocked a kid from having a piece of cake,

but when you hear the details, it has a whole other

layer, pun intended.

My pregnant wife, our first, messaged me at the end of my work shift that she had sudden

cravings for cake and I was more than happy to get her one.

Unfortunately as this was close to 6 p.m. the bakery only had a Swiss roll left in

terms of cake. As I was selecting that and a few other breads a mother and her daughter came in and the girl noticed the Swiss roll in the display cabinet and shouted that she wanted it.

However, I had already ordered it and when the worker took it out for me the girl started screaming and

crying. The mom did initially ask if I could leave the role for her but I said that

I ordered it first. Mom then began getting extremely demanding saying I didn't need to eat it can't you feel for a kid how selfish of you etc.

It only stopped when the bakery worker said that I had came first and ordered it before the mom and the daughter

had even walked in. I got home and told my wife about the incident and she said that

yeah I was a bit of an a-hole for not giving up the cake for the kid and that she would have understood if the store

had no more since I did buy other sweet breads or I could have gone to the supermarket instead.

She also asked why I didn't tell the mom that I was buying it for my pregnant wife with cravings.

I didn't see the need to share private information, but my wife said that maybe the mom would have

understood and that I appeared to be insensitive by sticking to my I ordered it first argument. We did end up enjoying

the Swiss Roll you told me not to worry about it. Just be more mindful next time

but I can't help feel a little bit guilty. So was I the a-hole for denying a kid cake

that she really really wanted? Yeah I don't know if I could fully enjoy that cake
