To think this is an april fools joke gone too far!

[Gabbyleo]

I've had enough really. out of any day not Easter. My DCs 8, 5 and 3 have been waiting patiently all month for their chocolate eggs. I wake up this morning to find the Easter eggs all eaten with the the boxing left in the cupboard , the wrappers inside with one smarty, button or malteser left . I put it on the top of the cupboard so only DH and the DS 1&2 (18 and 15) could reach them. I go up to DS room and they were pretending to sleep. I wake them up and they admitted to eating all the Easter eggs. there was 8 of them! I cant actually believe it! They said they were planning to go to shop and buy some replacements but it was closed. They claimed it was an 'April Fool joke but went wrong'. The worst thing was they both found it funny I've told them they have to apologise to younger DCs. That there consoles and phones will be confiscated for all Easter break and that they are grounded and won't be going to any of their friends house. April Fools jokes are supposed to be funny! DH told me in going too far but I don't care sick of them treating the younger ones like shit. Rant over.

They sound like absolute shits.

Glad your dh is starting to be on board with you

I can’t believe your son called you a fuckng bitch!

Your eldest two have absolutely zero respect for you and I imagine it’s from seeing their father undermine you at every turn.

I hope you can get it sorted.

is no coincidence that 2 of the younger DC are girls and are being treated like this

How do you explain their treatment of their younger brother then?

well it is bang out of order for DS2 to talk to you like that.No excuses.However, if i am understanding this correctly, it was in response to you saying you were going to tell MIL about the Easter egg incident ?why on earth would you say something like that? The kid screwed up.Agreed. You not need to go round trumpeting his failings to other people.Can you not see how humiliating that would be and why he reacted the way he did?

If he was that humiliated he shouldn't have eaten his siblings chocolate and called his mum a bitch. Op isn't announcing it in the street, she's telling his grandmother. If he's ashamed by that then good, he should be.

Oh how humiliating for him , diddums. Ffs

If it was so funny, or nothing to get worked up about, surely he'd love the op to share his highly amusing antic with his grandma?

Or maybe he doesn't want her to know because he knows it's shitty?

Bloody awful behaviour from the oldest two
I would tell MIL
And I would hope she cancels the driving lessons
Hope your DH keeps on the same page

Tweetiepie1000 "I can’t believe your son called you a fuckng bitch!"

He didn't.

Humiliating your DC is bad parenting.I think we are getting an insight into why they have no respect for you and behave like they do.
OP, I am saying this sincerely, you need to get yourself booked on a parenting course.

...and your DH too!

I don't think the OP needs a parenting course..she has humiliated no one

Humiliating them would be posting their faces and names over social media with 'chocolate thief' as a header.

Not telling grandma what little toads they have been to their siblings (and it sounds as if driving lessons were on the basis of good behaviour - so past bad behaviour perhaps?).

The pair of shits. If they were my DC, I'd go mad. Hope that somewhere still has Easter eggs, and they buy the replacements.

Parenting course ?? What utter bollocks

DS 6 says, "If I could, I'd give them some more!" He also says he'd beat up the older 2!

Parenting course ?? What utter bollocks
Yes because she has done such a good job with them, Not!

I’ve read the entire thread and it’s made me more and more angry. I really hope you told MIL what they did and I hope she doesn’t stop paying for his driving lessons and your DH gets a hammering too. You’re a team and he’s not being a team player

Who cares about the number of eggs. DF gave us £30, £10 each, for Easter. I got 2 chocolate bunnies, DS2 got 2 eggs, DD got 3 eggs.

OP doesn’t sound like she’s wrong. It’s hard to parent when the co-parent directly apposes the disciplining of the children.

Yes because she has done such a good job with them, Not!
The laziest, stupidest way of making a point. I assume you do not speak like that to people IRL, or maybe the five in your name are the teeth you have left?

I mean the 18yo is working so he can pay for his own driving lessons if she decides not to pay for them anymore

It seems like an ‘April fools joke gone wrong’ was something they just thought up on the spot to make their actions seem like banter, but it just doesn’t make sense. Why would having NO eggs on Easter be funny to the younger kids - they didn’t replace them. It just sounds like they were greedy. If anyone’s trying to cause drama, it’s them, as they obviously knew the kids would be upset.

I think you should tell your oldest son that you don’t want him in the house anymore, he’s an adult now and can fend for himself. I’m 21 and moved out at 18 (albeit for uni) and was also working in retail. It’s definitely doable

Insomniac "DS15 started having go at me said I'm being a 'stupid bitch"

Yes, I know that TheWernethWife. That's not "a fucking bitch" which is what Tweetiepie1000 said is it? Stupid bitch is very bad, but fucking bitch is even worse IMO.

I hope your younger kids are OK and that the older ones are showing at least some remorse now.
