That au pair FINISHED my expensive Mother's Day chops?

[Honesttodog]

I can stretch a box of chocolates out for months. Just went to have one and the fucking box was empty. Unlikely that DH are the, AS HE GAVE THEM TO ME. I put them on a shelf in the sideboard that neither child could reach.

WWYD?

Never said explicitly these are my special chocs don't touch but they are away from all other foods.

[MyBeloved]

I love chops. Especially Welsh ones. I'd be v pissed off. Ywnbu

[WhoTheFuckIsSimon]

Firstly ask Dh and then the kids.

[Vixyboo]

Have a loud asking session?

[MumOnTheRunCatchingUp]

Is the au pair 'part of the family'....... Or not?

[FoundNeverland]

More information needed. Is s/he a good au pair? Have you had any issues in the past. Is it worth the money to replace to them (£20?) to make a problem of this?

If it was me I'd let it go.

[weirdsister]

Won't chops be off by now?

[FoundNeverland]

And as above. Check it wasn't a member of your family before saying anything.

[Honesttodog]

Too pissed off to spell check obvs

[Brightnorthernlights]

So funny...I love chops, couldn't open the thread quick enough to see what sort had been pinched!!!

[Honesttodog]

Thanks for the meat storage advice tho

[Honesttodog]

Lack of respect for other people's stuff. Am dissatisfied with her as an au pair but agency said unlikely to sort replacement before May. So plodding on grimly.

[RudeElf]

Oooh! I'd be mad. Dont fuck with mummy's chocolate. Everyone knows that in our house. Feel for you OP. I agree with having a loud asking incident. Make sure s/he is in the room when you ask DH and Dc.

[FoundNeverland]

Can you find other help? Cleaner and/or nursery if she is so bad?

[TheWitTank]

I would get everyone together and say that you are really pissed off that someone has taken your chocolates and that you want whoever has done it to replace them with a new box and put them back where they were ASAP. You will be able to tell by the faces who did it I bet.

[FoundNeverland]

May seems a long time or wait if she is so awful...

[Honesttodog]

My kids literally cOuld not get to them without a grown up.

[TalkMeDownPlease]

Only clicked on this because I wondered how you kept chops fresh for so long.
Was wondering if au pair had done a stealth de-frost in microwave followed by a stealth grilling.

[TalkMeDownPlease]

Ps am in awe of your choc willpower

[Honesttodog]

Not awful. I did not use that word. Just immature and not bright at all.

[Honesttodog]

Awesome use of "stealth-defrost". Feel free to preen 😀

[steff13]

How many were left? Weird that she would leave an empty box.

[Honesttodog]

Fucking fuckjust irrationally cRoss that someone ate the chocs and did not appreciate them.

[Honesttodog]

Fucking NONE. hence belief she ate and thought it would get blamed on someone else.

[grapejuicerocks]

Aren't you allowed chops on any other days than Mother's Day?

Ltb - this is totally unreasonable.

[Muddlewitch]

You need to do a dramatic 'what a day, I really need a chocolate' in front of them all then look when you open the box.

Between this and the baby food munching guest there seem to be food snafflers round every corner...if anyone touches my giant chocolate buttons there will be hell to pay.
