I can't help but be royally p*ssed off that DH didn't get me an Easter Egg this year, when he gets me one every year.

I've been on a diet since Jan 1st and have lost nearly 2 stone. I've been saying to all and sunder that I've cut down on chocolate (cut out completely for lent) and that I was going to have a day off on Easter Sunday to celebrate my loss so far with a nice chocolate egg.

I was really really looking forward to one! It was like my incentive to keep exercising and eating healthy - having a day off the diet today.

I've been saying all this to DH for months.

I'll know you'll probably all say I could have bought my own egg, and I know that, but DH gets me one every year so I didn't think I'd need to.

DH heard me saying lots of times that I couldn't wait for my egg and that I wanted him to get me a cadbury's one and he'd say okay I will.

But he didn't and he says there's none left in the shops (he only went to look last night when I asked he'd gotten one yet). He says I'm an adult and I can just do without.

AIBU? I can't help but feel totally gutted. Like all my hard work was for nothing. I'll probably have to sneak some of DD's when she's not looking.

YABU and childish. And there were hardly any left in the shops this weekend: we didn't manage to buy any. I don;t see any reason at all why a grown adult would 'need' an Easter egg tbh. Lindt seasalt is MUCH nicer anyway.

Nobody has ever bought easter eggs for our children bar us, btw. It seems v odd for people to be upset at grandparents turning up without eggs.

MN is v weird lately.

It's not the same having to buy your own egg, it'd have been nice if you DH did buy you one but he didn't...just something you have to deal with. I have no DH and therefore no easter egg but it's not the end of the world. Better to have lost two stone and have no easter egg than not.

Easter is not just about chocolate anyway :)

Remus - I'm not upset as such, just a little sad for DC as that set of GP's have never ever done anything by way of a small treat for my DC, not a 50p for their piggy bank, not taken them to the park for a play, absolutely nothing in nearly 9 years.

And, anyway, I don't think it would be THAT "odd" as you say for GP's to buy their GC's a small easter egg!!! Its just a symptom of a wider issue in our case I suppose.... Even my grumpy old battleaxe of a nan stuffed my pocket with a pound note when we had been to visit a couple of times a year!

update: DH came home with a bunch of flowers and a bar of dairy milk saying he's proud of my weight loss and sorry he forgot this year. I - - feel like - - am a cow
