Chocolate reindeer incident - who was bu?

[EscapeFromHubby]

Last night I was eating a chocolate reindeer. Had bought it a few days ago but DH wasn't overly pleased I hadn't got him one as well. Ate part of it then left it on the living room side table as I had to go out to the kitchen to do something.

One of the dogs then comes running out of the living room with foil in his mouth chased by DH was says dog has eaten reindeer. Great! My fault, shouldn't have left it on the side. But then DH and DD1 keep giggling about something.

DH and DD1 can be quite the jokers so I think they've eaten the reindeer and are blaming dog. This goes on for a while with them saying it was the dog, no it wasn't, they might've had a bit and got carried away and now it's gone, no they didn't really eat. So I don't know what they've done with it! I start looking around to see if it's hidden anywhere and DD1 starts warm/cold/hot etc. By this point I'm getting really pissed off. It's my chocolate and I want it back.

Then I have the bright idea that if DH has taken my reindeer I'll tip some of his beer away. I tell him this and head to the kitchen, get the bottles out of the fridge and open them. DD1 tells DH she thinks I'm serious and perhaps he should stop me but he doesn't, just more chuckling. So the beer goes down the sink. DH storms out, clearly pissed at me for tipping his beer away. Back in living room reindeer has magically reappeared on table untouched with DD1 trying to say it was there all along. DH then went to bed with the raging arse.

So WIBU to tip DH beer away in return for taking my reindeer (he did have plenty of chances to stop the joke before it got to that point) or was he BU for then getting arsey with me?

Both childish and immature.

First of all I think YABU to eat chocolate in front of your DH and DD without them having anything or at least sharing it. They played a joke as payback and IMO you took it too far.

It’s a chocolate reindeer . If I’d left half eaten chocolate on the side it would be because I was done with it for the day. Then whoever else fancied some could have it. I certainly wouldn’t start pouring beer away.

I get it must have been annoying but I think your behaviour was worse.

😂😂 I would do the same as you have.

Isn't chocolate really bad for dogs?

What Dot said

You all were!

Yabu and so we're they. What a thing to ruin a night over though.

YABU leaving chocolate where a dog can potentially eat it as it's toxic to them. I all sounds a bit childish, at least you got your chocolate back in the end didn't you.

You are. First for not sharing your chocolate, second for needless waste.

Probably best to realize no one has covered themselves in glory and slink off to bed

You were U, as you well know. Flouncing over a bit of chocolate is rather silly.

And several beers vs half a chocolate reindeer is way OTT.

If you really thought the dog had eaten the chocolate you would have rung vet.

Tipping away beer is odd.

You're all strange people.

HTH.

Wtf

1. You're both morons.

2. Chocolate is poisonous for dogs so that would have been my number one fear - the fact that this didn't cross your mind confirms point 1.

3. grow up? Teaching your daughter that it's ok to flounce and damage other people's belongings because you're not getting your own way will come back and bite you on the bottom later on. Great parenting.

YABU because however annoying, you were being precious about a chocolate reindeer, and they were taking the Mick. If you didn't think the reindeer was permanently gone, you could have just hidden his beer the next day. He can hardly drink it from the sinkhole.

DD sounds more mature than both of her parents

Yeah, you were probably unreasonable. But I can understand why. It isn’t nice being the butt of someone’s joke which wasn’t funny in the first place, let alone when they really, really drag it out beyond any point of “humour “.

Seriously? My first thought would have been to ring the vet.
Now you want to pour more beer away?
Whole thing is immature

I wouldn't have hogged a chocolate reindeer to myself and not offered dh and children some. that's just greedy. Pathetic of you to tip away beer because you can't take a joke.

You sound like a very happy family. We could all do with a bit more silliness in our lives. I would not have tipped the beer away, but perhaps you had a point to prove. Just be prepared for pay back!

Gosh you must really really like chocolate. I can’t imagine sitting eating in front on my family without offering to share. Especially knowing they wanted some. Then to throw beer out because they hid it.

You're all massively unreasonable on all points.

They sound fucking irritating. You sound greedy and spiteful.

Who even cracks out the Xmas chocolate in November without sharing it with family members sitting next to them!?

This is something my 9 and 11 year old would do. Grow the fuck up.
