To be annoyed at dh for eating all nice snacky stuff before I get to it?

[orangeandlemons]

I justfancied a bag of crisps. Went to cupboard to get the family bag down bought on Saturday. None left. There never is...ever. I think I would havelearnt by now, but I never do.

Ditto: Mller fruit corners
Ice cream

He always eats it before I get to it

Me too. Within the day. No willpower- sometimes I get furious about it, quite selfish really.

Does he do what my D (and on these occasions, the 'D' is very much an honorific) H does and take the packet of Lotus biscuits (I'm not bitter, this is not personal....) and eat all but THE VERY LAST ONE then PUT THEM BACK!!!!

He once found a box of handmade chocolates my sister sent me stashed in my bedside drawer and cracked on about the psychological problems inherent in hiding food - is it any bloody wonder!!

(not bitter, not personal)

Leave the bastard.

LEAVE . THE . BASTARD .

I have to hide things from my lot but they always find them!

YANBU, but in my house dp bandies about if your not fast your last, and if you snooze you lose. Very fucking annoying. Thr trick is to find something absolutely divine that everyone else in the house hates.

Hide ice cream inside an empty bag of frozen sprouts.. nobody ever thinks of looking there...

Greedy bastard

You need your own locked/hidden snacks box I'm afraid.

I keep emergency choc/crisps/popcorn in the boot of the car for those raging pmt.

He'll eat anything...I call him the Noo Noo after the hoover on Teletubbies. I was used to hiding food when the teens were still at home but now it is just me, dh and dd, and she is only allowed limited snacks. So he hoovers up the reisdue

Unreasonable? Seems a bit mild tbh, I'd be frigging LIVID

You need to hide it, and release bits gradually. I have to do this because of my autistic daughter with poor impulse control. I'd be pissed off if I had to do it for a husband.

It was the black cherry fruit corner too. My favourite one!. Am liking the sprouts idea.

I'd be furious too, it just screams "I don't care about anyone else's needs or wants except my own" which is what you would expect of a teenager and which is why those of us with teenagers generally hide food all over the place.

I would never dream of eating all of something, unless I had offered it to the others in the house too so why does he feel he has the right to scoff the lot.

Well. I'm nor a huge crisp fan, so he probably thought that this was the green light to scoff. ButI do like them sometimes. They were bought on Saturday, and I suspect were all eaten by last night. Averaging 2 bags a day...

My husband gets through crisps, too - but he has a "one bag a day" limit. Some sort of laxative based jape might be in order?

Can't you just ask him to nip to the shop to buy more?

Can't you just ask him to nip to the shop to buy more?

I could, and he would, but I prefer to seethe and simmer about it

Hide stuff in the salad drawer, my husband NEVER looks there. As soon as he sees green food he needs a sit down.

Ha ha we call dh 'noo noo' in our house too,I have hidden packets of crisps in the washing machine drum before now,it's not fair as he can eat like he is in training to be a Russian shot putter and never puts any weight on

He's subconsciously helping you lose weight. Unless you don't need to lose weight, in that case yanbu and you should LTB.
