To be cross at DH's choice of chocolates

Got up just now to see that DH has eaten the rest of the small box of dark chocolates I was given at work for doing someone a favour. Plus the rest of the m and m sharing bag I use to give a few at a time to the kids.

I wouldn't mind but he was given loads of chocs for Christmas, most of which he hasn't opened yet, and he was saying only yesterday how much he had. And he doesn't even like dark choc v much while I prefer it.

Should I say something when he gets up? I hate starting the day with a moan but I think it's selfish.

I should have thought that the point about the sharing goes both ways. To ask or just eat one or two, if something was a gift to one person rather than being part of a family food budget, is only showing respect, as is not polishing off the lot.

I hide 'my' chocs at the back of a dark cupboard and put the 'other' chocs in a bowl for DH to snack on (although he apparently doesn't eat chocolates Hmm). DD puts a post it on 'her' chocs. All these chocolates are really family chocolates (unless for a present), but I have the dark ones, DD has the truffles and DH has the rest.

YANBU.

Anything like that, that has been given as a gift, belongs to the person it was given to. It's up to them to offer to share it if they want to, or at least be paid the courtesy of being asked first.

We do share things like this, but it's nice to be asked or wait for the offer first.

We share all our finances but DH wouldn't take money from my purse and I wouldn't take money from his wallet without asking first. I think it's the same thing. If it's not been bought 'for the house" or given as a joint gift, then it belongs to the person it was given to. And they should be asked or left to offer.

I missed my last line there.

I meant to put "especially if you're not just stealing one chocolate and leaving the rest, but finishing off the whole box."

I just had a moan at the kids today. I drink only very few fizzy drinks. The kids however likes loads different sort. For the weekend I will buy say 3 bottles of their choices and 1 of mine. They drink mine first. If I buy 2 of theirs and 2 of mine " they drink mine first" if I drink 3 of mine and one of theirs " they drink mine first" It drives me crazy. And on top of that its not even like they PREFER mine they LIKE theirs better. When I moan they go

" but it was open" ERR SO IS YOURS!
