Alright, this is petty.
My DH is so greedy. All I want is a glass of wine and packet of crisps on a Friday night after a crappy week at work, not much to ask. I go to get the crisps and he's eaten the bloody lot.
Pissed me off that he's so selfish and inconsiderate.

Send him out to get more.

I always hide a bag or two. Under the tea towels is a good spot.

MrsMozart · 31/08/2018 21:26

What's he say when you raise the issue?

sayerville · 31/08/2018 21:29

He just bawls that isn't he allowed to eat anything? I just said he's been selfish and greedy and inconsiderate.
He's like it with anything, any treats I buy so I am stopping buying them, even though I am then denying myself.

YANBU, my ex husband was like this, so fucking selfish and childish.

You shouldn’t have to hide stuff but I did. It sucks.

Abi356 · 31/08/2018 21:35

I hide my junky food in a cupboard and I say that it's his birthday/ Christmas gifts in it so not to look Grin worked for 3 years so far.

sayerville · 31/08/2018 21:35

It's like living with a teenager who can't control his eating habits

Abi356 Wished I could get away with that one!

Tbh I’m the guilty party for this in my home.

Figmentofimagination · 31/08/2018 21:41

In our house we each have our own bag full of crisps, and our own treat box. We are not allowed to touch each other's crisp bag/ treat box.

I don't think they think! My DH is a nightmare to share tortilla and dips with - he doesn't dip, he SCOOPS. The bloody dip is all gone in seconds. I now divide the dip between two ramekins and give him his half Grin
OP I think you might need to resort to writing your name on food that is meant for you. Maybe buy two and write his name on his. Petty I know, but annoying to have a greedy guts beating you to it each time Grin

recklessruby · 31/08/2018 21:44

Sad I feel your pain. I m last one in at night from work and dc frequently eat most of the cheese! Sometimes I just want a cheese roll and a glass of wine.
Both dc are adults so do buy food but not the night they decide to demolish it.
As for the wine I chill that in my car in winter at work so it's not at home till I am Grin. In summer there's the work fridge but I put a sticker saying RUBY S WINE DO NOT TOUCH on it Wink

Needsleepneedsleep · 31/08/2018 21:46

Sounds like my DH Grin. Very selfish and inconsiderate.
I would buy some next time you're out and hide them.

recklessruby · 31/08/2018 21:46

And yes I am petty Grin but make no apologies for it

Abi356 · 31/08/2018 21:47

Start stashing the chocolate bars in tampax boxes - if he finds them, well, I'd say they're deserved. Smile
It is annoying and the day he realises my bedroom cabinet is not permanently full of presents will be a sad day for me indeed. xD

giveitfive · 31/08/2018 21:49

I hide the best stuff behind the cleaning basket. It's the only way.

Jux · 31/08/2018 21:53

Can you buy a pack of crisps for the evening at lunchtime and bring them home from work? Or buy them on the way home? Then you'll have a packet and there won't be one for him.

EdisonLightBulb · 31/08/2018 21:55

Mate, you shouldn't have to, but you do. I hate goodies every week. Top spots:

  1. the oven
  2. top of the kitchen cupboards
  3. behind the TV
  4. in the washing machine
  5. in the freezer
  6. under the bed

SometimesI forget where I have hidden them.

Jux · 31/08/2018 21:55

OTOH, you can get lockable fridge boxes, but I don't think they have to be in the fridge.

sayerville · 31/08/2018 21:56

I think either I don't buy them or I just have to resort to hiding stuff, sad we have to resort to this isn't it!

CarlyJayne1987 · 31/08/2018 21:59

I used to hide stuff.....

Basically with cleaning stuff, behind tins of food (where he didnt go), near the hoover etc... lol

Only way OP - men are greedy gits

TroysMammy · 31/08/2018 21:59

Behind the bath panel. Handbags you aren't currently using. Pockets of winter coats. Inside boots. Heaps of hidey holes.

Strongbeatsskinny · 31/08/2018 22:00

Hide it with the cleaning stuff

Rednaxela · 31/08/2018 22:02

By eating it all, he is making it so that YOU aren't allowed to eat anything!

Bet he hasn't thought of that.

Just buy 2 packs next time. Write your names on each one!
