Me today and it was great 🍔 Finally house to myself for a few hours. Special offer of two for one burgers from Uber eats. Ate them whilst watching crappy Real Housewives of Cheshire Then shoved the bag to the very bottom of the bin No one will ever know

DH is back in the office Thursday. DS is at holiday camp. I will be sitting in my house ALONE with a Dominos. I will also hide the evidence.

Why?

If I ate a pizza, I'd not need to hide the evidence. Nobody would give a fuck, they know how to buy pizza.

AdventFridgeOfShame · 30/12/2024 21:59

I've never contemplated secret eating and hiding the evidence.

Now I am beginning to wonder if this is a me problem or a you problem.

Thegreenandpurpleone · 30/12/2024 21:55

I see where you are coming from OP. If I wanted to order takeaway DH wouldn’t bat an eyelid, but then I’d have to share or reveal my exact (big) order. Before I go back to work and the gym next week I have this Friday all to myself and I am going sales shopping then for a sneaky drive thru - I’m looking forward to it as one last holiday treat! 🍔

I have a friend who used to 'go out and do the Tesco shop' having already done it online and booked a Click And Collect.

She used to go to the drive through and sit in her car in peace with food, coffee and a paper for half an hour then just nip in and pick up the shopping order at Tesco on the way back 😊👍

That is genius! and surely she could get away with a good hour or so

On the first day that the kids go back to school, and dh is at work, I’m planning on driving to McDonald’s and getting myself 20 chicken nuggets and a banana milkshake and eating it on my own in the car whilst I listen to a bit of an audiobook. I’m absolutely buzzing

Lovesacake · 30/12/2024 21:36

I routinely hide the evidence when I have a sneaky takeaway - it’s part of the buzz 😂

I didn't say anything against op's 6yo. But yeah, if I had a hot burger in my hand and my dh snatched it away and ate it before my eyes, that is bizarre and potentially abusive. We were not talking about something you left in the fridge. We were talking about a hot burger that you literally felt you needed to eat secretly or else your dh would eat it.

That's not normal! Nothing "bingo mumsnet" about it!

Oh thank you thats the next category

I always hide the evidence when I have a sneaky takeaway to myself

Oh my, I have never ever ever thought of ordering in just for me and eating it on the QT. - why the fuck not?

Ok so now Im rural, we dont have uber or whatever they are, but I was a Londoner for 45 years and not once did it dawn on me

I feel deprived in some way

That is definitely being pestered!
Even if they quietly look away, you just KNOW they are waiting to be offered a bit of that soft, smelly burger and cheese...

I never said it like that at all, nothing about him snatching a hot burger out of my hands 😂😂give over

I work at home and during normal times I'm home alone 8.30 to 4.30. Why have I never thought to get a food delivery for lunch?!

Sadcrimboisover · 30/12/2024 19:59

I don’t know what’s so special about it, but it’s just the peace and quiet and not being harassed, although the dog was doing her eyes at me

YANBU... I have one day off work a week (DH in the office and DC at school) and one day, I thought sod it, I'm going to order a McDonald's for lunch.... I also hid the packaging 😁 The deception was part of the thrill!

Haven't done it since, but maybe I should again 🤣 It's a bit trickier now though as I've changed my day off from Monday to Friday and DH is annoyingly working from home that day. Though could always do it on a day I'm WFH and he's in the office!

MyCatIsTheHeadChef · 30/12/2024 20:40

Oh i really love a whopper. The DCs and i went to Butlins Bognor Regis this year and over the course of 3 days we ate 4 whoppers each. In our defence we don't have a BK anywhere near us. It was utterly blissful.

Raindropskeepfallinonmyhead · 30/12/2024 20:38

I get the hiding thing - sometimes you want to indulge without having to think about everyone else!

Sounds great op!

like nachos, a little bit of choc etc, I have to hide or Dd asks me for it or Dh eats it

Op, this is really not normal that you have to hide a treat for yourself in case your husband steals it and eats it for himself.

It's not normal. Not lighthearted. At best it's totally bizarre and at worst it's abusive

BINGO!

Thanks for that, just the 101st post on my card calling normal family life ABUSIVE

I deserve a drink

This is typical Mumsnet, OP is being abused because she wanted to have a couple of burgers in peace

Abusive!! I mean, if things are left in the cupboard or fridge..Dd (6) or Dh generally would just have some, so I stash for myself…I thought that was pretty normal. My mum used to do similar and say ‘I can’t have anything in this house!’

They’re not abusive…just greedy sods 😂

Show quote history

I think there's line right.

You put a bar of dairy milk in the fridge and tell people it's yours, they shouldn't touch it.
Same as pringles or Doritos or whatever.
"These are mine, don't touch"
If someone fucker then has the audacity to touch them... Well, they win a super special prize and a day out at a&e to repair their fingers...

If a partner ignores you and just eats what you've earmarked as yours, that could be seen as an entitled prick.. if, however, you do the shopping and sling choccy bars, crisps and shite in the cupboards and some fat shit pigs it before you get chance to pig it yourself, well, it's fair game isn't..

Get it afore it gon'
Or tears you'll be drop
Ne'er mind the lbs you put on
It'll cost ye a bomb at the shop
