DH ate all of DS Easter treats (semi-lighthearted)

[Mamma737363]

Ate his whole haul. From DS Easter egg hunt. While he was asleep.

He has form for this. A few years ago I posted that DH hadn't bothered to get a cake for my milestone birthday but he was happy to eat the rest of the chocolate cake (half a cake) my friends surprised me with, in one go while I was at work.

For context, DH is very sporty and always hungry. He also does all the baking at home. And he has bought Easter eggs for DS already for a home egg hunt.

DS noticed the treats were missing as soon as he got up and immediately identified that daddy ate it. Luckily he's not upset.

I'm still pretty mad though!

Your husband is a prick.

How blase you're being about this is concerning. I assume he has form for this.

I would be fuming.

I am genuinely surprised that here are more posters on here who have experienced this abhorrent behaviour.

I told DH off, we talked about it, he feels bad and he agrees he was wrong, we discussed having more respect for DS' things, he apologised to DS and he's tried to make up for it.

I do appreciate the outrage on DS behalf though. I was upset about it last night and this morning. I put "light-hearted" because I know DH is not a terrible person. We've both made a lot of sacrifices for him and he's our world.

It's not something to take lightheartedly

Is this light hearted though because it’s very selfish.

It’s easier to say “light hearted” than accept that you married a total arsehole, isn’t it?

That’s beyond selfish, he took his own child’s prizes. It’s not lighthearted at all. He is a complete shithead.

He says he didn't want to leave sweets out overnight (because of bugs). But yes he agrees he could have just put it away.

100%

This is so sad for the son

Where the hell do you live to be worried about bugs in March?

Have neither of you heard of cling film, tin foil or an upturned plate?

Ah yes... the "I'm keeping it safe in my tummy" excuse of every greedy selfish twat.

What a fucking arsehole.
Imagine being such a greedy pig that you take things from a small child.

Your first instinct was right OP I don't know why you're now backtracking and trying to find excuses

Yes nothing will replace the treats. What do you recommend we do on top of everything else I've written? Constructive suggestions please.

Probably because we've all moved on now.

Why did your husband eat the eggs from the school Easter Egg hunt - which clearly belonged to your son - rather than the ones that had been bought for the home egg hunt, which presumably were hidden away and could have been replaced without your son's even knowing they were gone (or had ever existed)?

He says he didn't want to leave sweets out overnight (because of bugs). But yes he agrees he could have just put it away.

Do you live in the tropics? Throw some fucking clingfilm over the plate or pop it in the fridge / microwave overnight.

Your minimising of his behaviour is almost as concerning as the behaviour in the first place.

You do realise this sounds like you're talking to child who has misbehaved?

Thanks all, I'm going to leave the thread now. Some of the initial suggestions helped me explain to DH about respecting DS things, and he agrees. The rest of the posts are just a pile-on. We're going to do some fun Easter things now. Have a lovely weekend. 🙂

I've made DH feel sufficiently bad already!

No you haven't. He is saying whatever to pacify you right now. If he didn't automatically feel bad for doing this it's unlikely he feels bad about it now. The only 'bad' he is feeling is that you are unhappy with him.

I told DH off, we talked about it, he feels bad and he agrees he was wrong, we discussed having more respect for DS' things, he apologised to DS and he's tried to make up for it.

Fuck me. This man is your husband not another child

Your poor, poor son. He doesn't deserve this.

You could buy yourself an Easter egg, say your best friend/ mum/ work colleague got it for you or you won it in the work raffle and big up how happy you are to have got said Easter egg. Open it up and eat a bit and then see if your lovely husband just happens to scoff it all when you’re not looking, whilst ignoring all the other choc in the house/ his own choc/ his adult ability to fuck off down the 24h garage whenever he pleases to buy his own. I suppose then you’ll know if it’s unwitting greed driving his behaviour as he may or may not eat or something more insidious that many posters on here sadly suspect.

I hope you come back to read becsue you really need to understand that you should not have to explain to a grown man to respect his fucking son. What an utter bullshit relationship

I can’t comprehend the mental gymnastics and you’d have to work through to get from a man stealing a child’s gifted chocolate and eating it all, to typing out a post on mumsnet with lighthearted in the title.

Being sporty and always hungry are completely irrelevant in the context of this story. You might as well be describing a four year old Labrador.

Selfishness and greed are qualities that are really to be avoided at all costs when choosing a life partner and someone to raise children with.

This happens all time on here 😄

OP: My husband is an arsehole
Everyone: Hell yeah he is
OP: No he isn't! How dare you.

So he's stolen your birthday cake and now DSs Easter eggs, when is the next big event as i'll look out for your next thread. You know it will happen again and again...
