To think that DH is being a babyish nobend?

This is going to sound childish. I KNOW it's childish so don't ned any smartarses telling me as much. Wink

DH and I in the car tonight talking about what we would have for tea. I said maybe just cheese and crackers since we had a fair sized lunch at 2.30. DH agreed. Then he asked what food was left in the Blush christmas snack cupboard. I remarked that we didn;t actually have a lot of chocolate left as DH had SCOFFED his way through our second tin of Roses in a fortnight. He got all defensive saying that it was my own fault I didn't get any chocolates because I wasn't quick enough and they were there to be eaten. I agreed that they were but I said "It's not all or nothing; you can eat SOME and leave some for others. You don't need to scoff the lot!" He disagreed.

THEN he accused me of being a misery over christmas. TBH, I was a bit lemon-lipped on Christmas day itself; recovering from a stomach virus, was feeling sick/shaky and cooking dinner pushed me over the edge into feeling like I wanted to puke my innards out. He is whining because whenever we've had guests/been to friend's houses, I've been happy and why couldn't I make that effort wth him?! I have played through the pain a bit when guests have been here and been a bit quiet the rest of the time. Today, I have felt fine so have been chatty etc He said "You've been OK today. Keep it like that." WTF?! patronising git, I've felt ILL. Keep it like that?! Just to make YOU feel better?! You arse.

I want to do bad things to him. Cheeky tosser. AIBU?

YANBU. My DP has the same view with chocolate, that I'm not quick enough in eating it. Same with crisps.

He'd buy me some chocolate and sometimes I'd put it in the fridge, intending to enjoy it another time and he would eat it, thinking I can't have wanted it.

He did this quite early in my last pregnancy. I got really upset and weeped over the chocolate, asking why would he do such a thing, buy me something I loved then decide I couldn't have it as I'd not eaten it within his arbitrary allotted timescale. He was quite taken aback at the force of my reaction and replaced it.
He has never done it since.

I actually have 10 types of cheese in my fridge. Seriously. Not counting the using cheddar.

"YANBU. My DP has the same view with chocolate, that I'm not quick enough in eating it. Same with crisps."

Thank you!

Being in possession of snack goods does NOT mean that they must be eaten in the shortest amount of time possible. You won't get penalised for not scronfing them stright down your ungrateful neck IMMEDIATELY, DH. You sad-arteried little weasel.

Can I ask - does he have lots of siblings?

As one of four I have to fight the urge to eat all treats as soon as they enter the house for fear of getting nothing.

SnapesMistressofMerriment · 30/12/2011 18:21

DP has just bought me a slab of chocolate from Hotel Chocolat cos I was ill before Christmas so its another present.

I will share it with DP and PIL tonight though cos I am nice. :o

BaublesandCuntingCarolSingers · 30/12/2011 18:34

He has one sibling.

He is just a greedy oaf, simple as that.

Dh doesn't share take away.
He misses out now that the dcs and I do.

YY to the hysterics that occur over food when pregnant - dh once had the audacity to to eat my flake... I went to visit my mother.

QueenKong · 30/12/2011 19:01

I'll see your Roses bupcakes, and raise you a whole chocolate advent calendar.

Earlier in the month, my sneaky little fucker of a DH managed to shake all the chocolates out of one open door. He even shoe-horned the extra large Christmas Eve one out. Imagine my disappointment.

I kept back the Hotel Chocolate Christmas Wreath I had bought him for myself. That'll learn him, the greedy fecker.

That is divorce material. Am shocked at the depths these cunts will stoop to, I really am.

When my cat was run over a few years ago my DH (then DP) bought me a tub of Chunky Monkey B&J's to cheer me a bit. I went to have some the following week and there was about half an inch left in the bottom. Apparently I was not quick enough either Hmm

BillyBigBaubles · 30/12/2011 19:23

This thread has cheered me up no end Xmas Grin

Bastards the lot of 'em I'm the greedy fekker in my house

SarahStratton · 30/12/2011 19:26

It didnt help my case that I had crossed out the picture of the purple one round the edge of the tin and wrote guzzled

I have one Honeycomb chocolate orange with one slice missing as I tested it and it is as vile as the original up for swapsies. Already pre-bashed, no box.

Will trade for proper chocolate or Danish biccies in a purdy tin.

clairefromsteps · 30/12/2011 20:59

This thread has got me chuckling (she said, quietly squirrelling away words like 'twatweevil' for future use).

Boot's on the other foot in this house. We got given a box of those lovely M&S Swiss Chocolates for Christmas by my nan. Imagine the look of horror on my chocolate-loving husband's face this evening when he opened up the box to find about three left in it. I got hungry while I was cooking the kids' tea, OK? In my defense, I feel properly gipping now.

rhondajean · 30/12/2011 21:00

ROFL at sad arteried little weasel.

I'm keeping that one handy for DHs next gorging session.

LittleMissFlustered · 30/12/2011 22:29

I might have to skip to Aldi and get some Danish biccies. They are the snack of the gods, and seeing as I am pregnant I can do anything I damn well want. Apart from skip. Not without major incident and possible triggering of labour anyway...

SarahStratton · 30/12/2011 22:31

Ooh thank you! Grin Thanks

LittleMissFlustered · 30/12/2011 22:40

Us pusporn types need to stick together:o

I might use the purty tin to keep an emergency spot and boil kit in when the lovely biccies have all been lovingly consumed... I feel the idea has potentialWink

Bluestocking · 30/12/2011 22:46

I'm glad I'm not alone - my DP ate an entire box of chocs between opening it (just after breakfast) and lunch - and I only found out because I asked him "can I have one of the chocolates out of the box you got from friend X?". And both I and DS not only have to hide our treats from him, but also to move them around the house as though they were in some sort of Treat Witness Protection Programme.

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 30/12/2011 22:54

baubles my DH is exactly like yours -"well it's there to be eaten blah blah blah"
"you should have asked for one blah blah blah".
I calmly walked to the kitchen and poured all his tins of beer down the sink .
God I felt good .
He also knows that with acts of selfishness I also delete all of his recordings on the box.

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 30/12/2011 22:54

That's supposed to say on the sky box.

LittleMissFlustered · 30/12/2011 23:34

NannyP I like your style, I like it a lot:o I didn't empty an entire alcohol cupboard down the sink after discovering the infidelity of an ex, not at all, noooo Have yourself a wee tin of Danish biscuits and join the club:o

SarahStratton · 30/12/2011 23:50

Excellent use for a purty tin, I like. Distinct lack of pus porn over the festivities, sadly. They'd better get their act together in the New Year. :(

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 30/12/2011 23:54

Grin LMF - I started early , I remember doing it to my dad once when he raided my money box Angry.
He'll hath no fury like a woman scorned , what's the point in crying or shouting then feeling lousy afterwards, when you can remain perfectly calm and still have the final say ...
