Mum has parents in stitches for dishing out ‘revenge’ dinner to bored kids
A MUM-OF-TWO fed up with keeping her “bored” kids happy over the Bank Holiday weekend got her revenge – and fellow parents loved it.
Georgeanne Coates decided to dish up a hilarious form of payback at dinner time by serving her kids some food that reflected everyone’s mood.
Adding a twist to the traditional smiley potato faces, the 30-year-old plated up some sad faces for her two boys Ethan, 13, and Dylan, 11, as well as partner Luke, 35.
The mum was so determined to get her point across, she made the food from scratch – mashing potatoes before coating them in oil and flour to fry.
Her light-hearted revenge instantly lifted the mood around the dinner table, and cured everyone’s Bank Holiday boredom.
Georgeanne, from Nottingham, said: “The kids were bored, it was raining horribly and they were on their bikes coming and going and I needed to feed them quickly with something they could grab.
“I live with three boys and sometimes they push and push you and I needed to feed them.”
After making one smiley face, something stopped Georgeanne and she was inspired to get a little more creative.
“Then I made a whole batch of what I call ‘not smiley faces’,” she explained.
“I thought it was way better because of the way the kids were acting. It was reflecting my mood at the time.”
Instead of telling her boys they were irritating, she just left them with the “not smiley” faces and walked away.
And her plan paid off, adding: “They loved it.
“They laughed a lot and said they looked like they had different personalities.”
Posting a picture of her hilarious creation on social media, Georgeanne captioned it: “When everyone you live with has been annoying you but you still need to feed them.”
Fellow parents were left in stitches at seeing the disappointed expressions, one wrote: “My mum would have served them every meal.”
Another said: “These need to be a thing.”
“Do we actually need to feed them though?” A third joked.
Another added: “You tell them passive aggressively. Made me laugh as my day has been the same. Pass the packet!”
After seeing the attention her meal garnered, the 30-year-old said: “It’s going to be a family request from now on. I don’t think I’ll make them the normal way round.
“I’ve bought the bags before but you don’t normally get a lot in them. They’re cheaper and you can make a bigger batch than they can buy.
“The sad faces tasted good, if I did them again, I’d put more salt and pepper in.”
This comes as thousands of fed-up parents across the nation seek payback on their kids and teenagers.
