Biscuits - WIBU?

[Notmytelescope]

So for starters I accept this is a ridiculous, petty thing but I’d appreciate some outside perspective.

The backstory: On Thursday DH went shopping and bought a packet of biscuits ( nice ones with stem ginger in - the kind that come in a box...).

Friday AM before I went to work there was almost the whole packet left. DH was at home all day.

Saturday AM, I fancied a biscuit with my coffee and they were all gone. I called him a greedy piggy.

Sat PM I rumaged in the freezer for some cookie dough I had stashed away and there was enough for 6 small ‘biscuit muffins’. Come tea time I shared these with the DCs. I said DH couldn’t have one as he’d eaten all the biscuits yesterday. (DH has a habit of always eating anything if is opened)

He is now sulking and not talking to me. I think he is being ridculous and I am pissed off with him for his over reaction. Or am I being harsh?

Who is being unreasonable?

You are, I hope you didn’t say that in front of your children!

Really? Just buy some more biscuits.

You are, for treating your husband like a child.

Yes, you’re being unreasonable. Buy two packs of biscuits next time and hide one away.

God I'd pissed off if my dh said I couldn't have one as I had eaten the others. He's not a child you reprimand, you sound like his mother tbh. That said eating all the biscuits I accept is annoying.

This is why I love that I married a savory person, I am sweet toothed, I won't eat all the crisps and he won't eat all my biscuits, wedded bliss

You are so in the wrong. He probably shouldn’t have eaten them all, but he’s an adult, that’s his prerogative!

If DH tried telling me what I could and couldn't eat he'd get pretty short shrift.

YABU for being the biscuit police

They're biscuits ffs.

To be honest I am fed up of there never being any biscuits cos he has always finished them before I get a look in. I am fed up with having to hide food too. I guess I just feel that an adult should be able to have some self control,

If my husband to.d me I'd been greedy and wouldn't let me have a biscuit, I'd be very childish you're treating him like a child and throw a full on tantrum just so he'd get the message.

Can't believe you only bought one packet😦😦
On a food shop I spend ages in the biscuit section.
I do have a sweetie and biscuit cupboard that needs to be full at all times😂😂😂

@parkhead I didn’t do the shopping - he did. Yes if he wanted to have a whole packet to himself he should have bought 2 so the rest of us could have one.

Aren’t the kids allowed to have some biscuits too? I shared mine with them cos they’d also missed out.

I’m with you OP, I’d be really annoyed

It's a vicious cycle isn't it, he eats all the biscuits, you get understandably pissed off, he feels shit and so eats all the biscuits.

I feel your pain. It's the same in this house. I hate it when I go to get something from the cupboard/fridge and it's not there - especially if they are ingredients purchased especially for a particular recipe/meal.
I have to find ever more ingenious ways of hiding my chocolate and special biscuits.

I think biscuits have way too much importance in your house! Kids haven’t “ missed out “ on them at all.Sugary shite they don’t need and you made some biscuit muffins ( whatever they are) with them anyway.

YABU. Very. Just buy more biscuits next time. Food policing is pathetic.

This is why you have a hidden stash 🙄

I wouldn't monitor his eating, you're not his Mum. Just stock up & have a separate stash he doesn't know about: always best if you have a finish the whole packet merchant.

But surely if an adult knows that the others in the family are going to want their share, isn't it a bit mean to scoff the share for 3 other people?
I think you'd get different responses if it was your 13 yo DS who had done this!

Next time just buy another pack and hide them in a box of something no one will bother with-I currently have a chocolate orange hidden in an empty box of brown rice because my lot are gannets and will eat everything as soon as the shopping is unpacked.

YABVU.
Stop treating your husband like a child.

I think anyone who eats a full packet of biscuits in one day has a problem.

I'm with you OP.

I'd be really pissed off if my husband called me a "greedy piggy" and told me in front of my children I wasn't allowed a biscuit. Yabu
