DP ate the entire box of Xmas roses yesterday- it’s going to be a long few dayd

[Blackcelebration12]

Aibu to be really pissed off. I bought a large box of roses chocs for xmas day & DP ate the whole fucking tub yesterday. I haven’t had any and the kids had 2 each.

I know it’s petty but it’s just fucking greedy/ selfish - it’s going to be a looooong few days 🤪

Roses are the devils sweets anyway, he's saved you having to eat them yourself. They're so bland and tasteless, verging on disgusting.

And I'm a chocaholic, I'll eat supermarkets own value brand chocolate. But eating Roses "post-Mondelez-takeover" is like dipping your hand into a tub of homemade icing.

I agree. Worst chocolates ever

@BillieSpain

Mine has eaten the Christmas pudding (foe 4 people) that was SO hard to source where I live.

No more available.

I am speechless.

YANBU OP

Was it the Waitrose one with almonds on the top?

This is why I hide my sweet treats in obscure places.

My dp will get hold of my bar of lindt and eat the lot if I'm busy. I once asked if he would like a bit of chocolate with a coffee. I came back with coffee, chocolate gone, not one square for me, I was fuming 🤬

Hate roses too sweet, quality street or famous names but prefer dark so just a nice bar of lindt, if I can get any

I can’t understand why some pp think it’s ok, he can replace them. He ate a whole tin of chocolates. Who the fuck does that and more importantly, who doesn’t think to save some for their partner? Or check to see if they should be kept for Christmas Day as apparently planned? He has zero self control and demonstrated fuck all consideration for the rest of the household.

If OP has set the "rule" as they're for Christmas Day, then why on Earth would she want any?

I'm sorry but barring the Christmas turkey of my DH tried to dictate to me when I was allowed chocolate he'd be brave.

If the DH is buying more before the designated allowable day to eat them, then what harm had been done?

My ex was shocking for scoffing all the Christmas chocs I'd bought as gifts (even unwrapped a few tubs 😠). I think the final straw was when he not only ate a toffee mixed selection box I'd specifically bought for a relative while we were on a day trip. But he'd then 'hidden the evidence' via putting the empty box back into the bag it was originally in. Furious didn't come close when I pulled it out to wrap on Xmas eve!

• I only mention the day trip because it was from an 'ye olde sweet shoppe' type affair. So not exactly easy to nip to Tescos and replace.... Not making out I was extremely pissed about a bog standard bag of toffee 😅

Mine has opened a tub of Roses and eaten half of them, knowing full well they were bought for a neighbour. He has completely ignored the message I sent saying how utterly disgusted I was (in a much more sweary fashion) and is clearly hoping I'll blame one of our adult offspring. One of them is a vegan, one had his own tub so no need to steal mine and the 3rd didn't even know they were there, which DH did. DH has a long history of being incredibly selfish and pretending not to have eaten all the food, regardless of having been caught red handed at times. I even bought a kitchen camera to cut down the amount of food disappearing, it was getting so expensive to replace. Unfortunately, it was turned off and I hadn't noticed as I decided I'd only ever access it if a whole block of cheese or pack of ham went suddenly, so as the family didn't feel like they're being watched. Took me a good 24hrs to calm down.

You installed a camera to cut down food consumption! Really?

Bookworms
Yes, we were unable to keep up with the cost, and endless arguments over who had taken food others had bought for themselves became a daily issue. Short of putting a lock on the fridge, which is apparently more common than you'd think, I figured a camera would be the end of it. I figured wrong.

PS: Don't understand these people that only have a couple of chocs a day

I don't understand people who can demolish a complete box of chocolates in one day without feeling sick.

People whose partners/family eat an entire Christmas pudding, eat food that has been saved for a special occasion, eat food that isn't theirs or empty the contents of the fridge - what is wrong with them?

Why are they so disrespectful, and do some of them have eating disorders?

No-one in my family would do that.

I can believe these tales of partners (mostly men?) with uncontrollable chocolate consumption.... mine does it. If I didn’t hide certain items of shopping, I would end up bankrupt and very angry... we are both in poor health (nothing to do with chocolate!) but I am, on balance, more capable than he to go shopping as well as everything else.
So for someone to say to me “just go out and get more”, is not only nigh on impossible for me, but as I said, it’s expensive to maintain an inconsiderate eating machine.
He remains as thin as a rake, which is galling too. I’m slim, but I have to work at it to avoid weight gain.
It’s amazing also, that adverts, tv or otherwise, target women as their main market.... yes women buy it, but more times than not it’s filched by men if said women aren’t savvy enough to hide it....
The marketing line should change to - “and all because the ‘gentleman’ loves Milk Tray!”

Do you know what Xmas presents he has? Does he have any chocolates? If so commandeer them all today - open them all and put into the empty tub he left- to share out to replace the chocolate for everybody that he ate by himself
He's not allowed even one at all....

He is incredibly selfish and greedy

I guess when a mumsnetter demolishes a box of chocolates it's comfort eating and any criticism is fat shaming.

@DillonPanthersTexas exactly that. Reverse the sexes and there would be an outcry.
He ate some chocolate which presumably he replaced. Fucking hell.

Note to self: Always buy 2 and hide one!

One of our DS's helped himself to my special 'star of the cheeseboard' comte.
Ate the whole block.
He is buying another when Waitrose reopens but the xmas eve catering was not the same.

I can eat two of those at the most, bit yucky. Celebrations are better could manage maybe thirty or forty 😋🤣🤢🤮😱
