DH ate all the school snacks and I am ranting *&!@!

Not really an AIBU but I just needed to vent.

Went to make the school lunch and discovered (yet again) that DH has eaten all the snacks that I use for DS’s lunch. These were purchased on Thursday and have all gone by Sunday (not sure when but probably by Saturday lunchtime). He has form for this, usually every few months but it seriously annoys me when I don’t find out about it until Sunday evening after the shops have closed. Occasionally DH will admit he’s done it but I have enough time to replace the eaten items…. But not tonight.

It’ll be things like my son’s favourite biscuits, or those small snack size packets of crisps (like a box of 25) etc.

For reference my snack items I have to hide but my son’s things are usually safe. Feeling annoyed and want to buy a padlock and a f off sign.

Is he usually such a useless selfish prick? What would happen if he made the lunches?

send him to the shops to replace them

He’s an adult, he can source more. Tell him to go shopping, then yes, get a padlocked box and tell him to grow the fuck up. I can’t believe he would deprive your child!
