One of my three teens has stolen a bar of chocolate

[Member869894]

I know it sounds petty but I feel really upset - I had a big bar of chocolate in my bag to share after lunch an hour ago and now it has vanished. Stout denials all around.

I feel like throwing lunch in the bin.

It really upsets me that one of them would go through my bag and steal from me and then deny it

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving - who needs as a gift when you have an entertaining MN thread about a storm in a teacup in a handbag? It's a refreshing change from threads about parking, Brexit, MILs, neighbours.

I still say that it's interesting how mums' handbags are allowed to be totally private, whereas MN law says the children may have the bedrooms raided at any moment, phones may be checked at any moment, toys charity shopped at any moment.

It's Mothering Sunday coming up: will the OP be due for a present of a huge bar? Also Easter was mentioned a moment ago. How about giving the boys an egg hunt, and seeing how long it is before they realise there aren't any eggs to be found? Or that instead of chocolate eggs, they're hunting for the nicely decorated hard-boiled ones they made at school?

viola both hilarious and shocking. What on earth did he do to warrant such a terrible punishment? Did you ever confess and if not what conclusion did your husband come to regarding the whereabouts of the suit?

I, on the other hand, have NOT e-bayed (or charity-shopped, more likely) any of my DH's trousers but that doesn't stop him hunting for them repeatedly whilst making accusing insinuations. So much so that I started to wonder if I had taken them to be dry-cleaned and lost the ticket...... If you didn't fess up, Viola, perhaps you could suggest that as an explanation?

Depends, CustardyS. If they were greedy enough and desperate enough for choccy they might just rip the wrapper off without a thought and scoff the stuff faster than you could blink!

Any update OP

Er SonetLumiere it is a family joke. If I don’t mention it DSis does and we laugh about it. Gawd alive she has given me more than enough lovely Easter presents to make up for it.
