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

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

You're telling me nobody else has kids that don't let you have a bloody thing without having to have some. Or a husband that eats everything in sight? Must just be me and OP 😂

No abuse in my household I can assure you!

Is there need for aggressive name calling of OPs husband given its a fairly lighthearted thread?

Show quote history

This exact thread comes up every few months and has done for years.

The common theme is entitled pricks taking their wives and their children's snacks, so they never have anything for themselves and end up having to hide food in their own homes.

So yes, they are entitled pricks.

Ffs!

How to ruin someone’s moment!!

So why hide the wrappers if they had food at the cafe?

Hell would freeze over too before I had to hide snacks or any kind of food in my own home.

Tell your DH to leave certain things alone.

Entitled prick.

The sneaky part adds to the taste..

I don't have to sneak food...
DD would ask for some, I'm can say no, bugger orf...
But, it's not the same as sneaking a Big Mac whilst she's at school 🤪

I suppose it’s not to be taken so seriously…I could have said but Dd especially would have moaned and then would have to spend more for them for dinner…just could not be arsed…easier to hide the bag 😁nothing deep about it really

Lovely. I get a McDonalds delivered every Monday as its the only day I have to myself. I eat it in bed while watching trashy TV. Monday is my favourite day of the week 😃

Also, what do you choose? Is it the same each week or do you mix it up a bit? What time do you have it and do your family know or do you also stash the evidence?

I remember dropping off Dd at school once in the winter and then just heading to the drive thru and getting a coffee and breakfast and sitting in the car watching the sea. Not a fan of the breakfasts as much, but felt like a pretty special moment..don’t know why I didn’t continue it

I like the Mondays in bed having one and watching crap tv thing better though

That sounds amazing! I love my husband and kids with all my heart but not having much time to myself to do things like that is the hardest part!

I can obviously, but it would then mean everyone else wanting food too, paying more and just not having my sneaky moment just for myself 🤷🏻‍♀️
Dd and Dh were out getting food at a cafe at the playground anyway

YABU because you should have put the bag on proud display and told them why, that you deserve a rest, a nice snack and all to yourself because you barely get a look in most of the time. So take that kids!

I'd be a bit worried by a family dynamic where you couldn't choose your own food and eat it in peace.

Nah, I totally get where OP is coming from. Sounds like a joyous moment.

Love the fact that the final line is phrased as though you murdered someone and have hidden the body lol.

Glad you enjoyed the burgers, sounds like a good day!

I don’t care what anyone says, what you did today is an elite feeling. When DH goes back to work and the kids to school/nursery on Monday I fully plan on doing something equally satisfying.

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
