To eat DP’s treats?

Lighthearted!

Dp has a slightly annoying habit of buying treats (ice cream, chocolate milk etc) and then never bloody eating them! He very rarely eats sweet things and normally only buys treaty things if they are on offer. Occasionally he’ll get given things eg, some chocolate bars from his parents from last Easter. He’s had stuff that’s actually gone out of date because he wants to have it for a ‘special occasion’ but then either forgets he has it or refuses to eat it when I suggest it because it’s not a special occasion. Obviously if it was a really special treat for a present, or if it was something he bought for a specific occasion I wouldn’t touch!

Today I really fancied some chocolate and the only stuff we had in the house was DP’s last year’s chocolate bars. Wibu to eat some since he’s probably forgotten it’s there and won’t eat it?

@Sofiewoo so true, just say I fancy some chocolate can u have yours.

All hell breaks loose on mumsnet when a partner or son eats chocolate belonging to a poster. It’s selfish, rude, entitled and greedy when it’s done by a man.

If he wants to save his chocolate for a special occasion that’s his choice, get your own if you have already eating yours.

Just eat it. It seems if you ask him, he'll say he's saving it for a special occasion, so don't bother

Why not just ask him? 😳

Eat it and tell him it melted in the heat.

Good plan! It’s stored in the baking cupboard which he barely ever goes in so he’ll never know 😁

Glad to know the treats are fair game! Tbf I do usually replace them (eventually) in case he does decide he randomly wants some. Then I eat the replacements..

Just eat the bloody chocolate! In this house, unless it was a present or for a specific occasion (say, guests the following day) all treats are fair game! It doesn’t matter who went to the shop to buy them.
