Chocolate etiquette

18 replies

slavetothewage · 19/04/2012 17:18

Am currently 40+2 Weeks pregnant and feeling very fed up.

The older DC have uneaten eater eggs still and being a considerate parent and deeply concerned for their future health after eating something as unhealthy as chocolate me and DP decided to steal confiscate one for their own good.

However DP seems to need some serious education in sharing. First off all we had half am Easter egg each!

But I am 2 people at the minute, I should be getting extra rations.

And secondly (and to be honest I am shocked DP is still alive after this) after I stole the pack of buttons DP snatched them out of my hand and insisted on sharing them.

AIBU to think that anyone taking chocolate away from a heavily pregnant woman deserves to be punished severely and AIBU to think that the egg should have been split 3 ways between me, DP and baby with me obviously being forced to eat 2/3 of it.

YANBU

Leave the bastard

Did I read 'share' and 'chocolate' in the same sentence?

Vix286 · 19/04/2012 17:22

Not only those words Faraway but 'pregnant' too!!!

mayaswell · 19/04/2012 17:24

Any man who comes between a pregnant woman and anything is obviously very brave. Send him out for more!

JustHecate · 19/04/2012 17:24

Share chocolate?

I don't understand.

Your partner is being monstrous. He clearly needs an application of rolling pin to head, accompanied by a graphic description (yelled) of exactly what you will be going through to bring his child into the world and how the least he owes you is the chocolate.

And then send him out to buy more.

PurpleRomanesco · 19/04/2012 17:25

Sit on him.

ABigGirlDoneItAndRanAway · 19/04/2012 17:26

YANBU, in fact you should have had the whole egg to keep your strength up for labour, he doesn't have to do anything except sit there and get his hand squashed occasionally and nick your tea and toast like my DH did.

I know it's shocking.

DP (who is also female btw) just can't understand that sharing does not exist during pregnancy!

Unless your willing to share the morning sickness, backache and piles you can fuck right off if your sharing MY chocolate.

Apologies for assumption!

Leave the bitch

and I was so pleased for getting in there first!!!! [spending too much time on MN emoticon]

JustHecate · 19/04/2012 17:31

Sorry for the assumption. I apologise.

Your partner is being monstrous. She clearly needs an application of rolling pin to head, accompanied by a graphic description (yelled) of exactly what you will be going through to bring her child into the world and how the least she owes you is the chocolate.

And then send her out to buy more.

Pregnant woman wins, even against another woman and even if that woman is PMSing wildly.

This is the law.

DP has asked does that law still apply if pregnant woman has already had lots of Easter eggs all to herself?

She still isn't getting the fact that during pregnancy, especially when overdue, it is impossible to be wrong and if I say the chocolate is mine than it is mine and she should find herself some limp lettuce to snack on or something.

JustHecate · 19/04/2012 17:38

Your partner must accept that the law has no loopholes, get her coat on and go buy chocolate.

The penalty for eating a pregnant woman's chocolate is anything from a long footrub to death, so she'd better get a move on.

JustHecate · 19/04/2012 17:42

40+2 though, you must be doing your nut. I remember the end of both my pregnancies, it was hell.

I used to yell at my husband for sleeping at me. (It's impossible to get comfy enough to sleep at the end and the sound of his gentle snores drove me mad)

He risked having his cock ripped off for trying to change the tv channel. If he'd nicked my food, I'd have a nice pair of hairy earrings and a necklace but no husband ...

ABigGirlDoneItAndRanAway · 19/04/2012 18:38

Out of interest, has your DP ever been pregnant? If so then she deserves double punishment for her misdemeanour as she should know what it's like.

ABigGirlDoneItAndRanAway · 19/04/2012 18:44

Oh and I am amazed that there are any easter eggs left in the house after two weeks when you are heavily pregnant, they wouldn't have lasted two minutes days if it were me.

cherrypieplum · 19/04/2012 19:01

My husband left me alone with his Easter egg. I confessed I'd eaten half when he was in the bath and I had one solitary mouth full left!

I don't normally have a sweet tooth but by god does this baby want sugar!

[grin}

Robin WIlliams once said his memories of his wife (probably ex by now) greeting him at the door with an AK47 and the words "Hagen Dasz".

Your DP should be running around you, lifting your feet onto a foot stool and actually feeding you chocolate in small pieces.

Once there is no more chocolate DP then needs to run to the shop and stock up on the left overs at half price and continue to feed you until you have given birth.

Then post partum chocolate feeding needs to be learned.

jaggythistle · 20/04/2012 06:42

you have just reminded me that DS1 got lots of wee chocolatey things for Easter. he's only 2.6 so clearly as a responsible parent i should help with it.

also his baby brother is only 2 days old and is a hungry little monster, so clearly i have additional claim there.

YANBU btw! i needed a lot of food, especially chocolate to get through the last few months weeks of pregnancy.

good luck!
