To not share chocolate

I’ve not been feeling great the last few days. Dh and dc are not exactly bothered. I’m feeling a bit better and remembered there is an 850g bar of Dairy Milk in the house. None of them know it’s there. Would I be unreasonable to take the chocolate to my bedroom and tell none of them?

Yup. You would be.
I'd do it too. 😁
Although the thought of 850g of chocolate is always better than the claggy, sickly reality.

That sounds like a plan
Enjoy

I know mumsnet hates Cadbury chocolate but I feel like it has its place. Enjoying!

AStudyinPink · 04/02/2021 15:47

Wouldn’t eat the whole bar myself. But definitely sneak off with it.

Fatfunt · 04/02/2021 15:48

I remember when they were 1kg. Skanky bastards Cadbury’s!

HollowTalk · 04/02/2021 15:49

I would definitely do this. Horrible to think they're not bothered you're not well - I hope the chocolate helps cheer you up.

Windchangeface · 04/02/2021 15:49

850g holy cow!

I think at that size YABU not to tell them as you can literally take a family bar size amount each and Still have left overs!
If it was the 390g or less family size bars I would be YANBU!

FrankskinnerscRoc · 04/02/2021 16:06

Just have a bit, don’t want you getting ill again, then give the rest a jolly good licking.

Womencanlift · 04/02/2021 16:08

YADNBU but I’m waiting for the ‘any chocolate in my house is family chocolate’ comments 🙄

Hope you feel better soon Flowers

I will go against the grain and say YABU, part of being a family is sharing. If roles were reversed I would feel put out.

Why not ask your DH or DC (age dependent) to run you a nice hot bath, and enjoy some chocolate while in there? People on here are always ready to complain when people don't do things for them, but never ask for what they want, they just expect family to be mind readers.

SummaLuvin · 04/02/2021 16:24

Sorry, I should caveat that by saying, that not all chocolate should be shared. Posh chocolate truffles or caramels you treated yourself to or were gifted aren't 'fair game', but dairy milk is pretty standard.

Treaclepie19 · 04/02/2021 16:29

Yanbu. I demolished one of these myself over a few days after Christmas 🤷‍♀️

It depends. If you're not feeling great through potential illness, it's sensible not to share.

If it's because they're not bothered, I would also not be inclined to share, but out of annoyance rather than hygiene. However, I couldn't eat all that at once, so if they behaved more reasonably, then they could have a left-over square each.

VenusClapTrap · 04/02/2021 16:55

YANBU. I have done and will do again.

As would DH.

Every person for themselves where chocolate is concerned, in this house. You snooze you lose.

HOkieCOkie · 04/02/2021 19:36

Got off here and eat it before they find it!

ItsNotAlrightButItsOkay · 04/02/2021 19:45

Yes do it. Grin Glad you're feeling better.

AdoraBell · 04/02/2021 19:47

Definitely NU, enjoy your chocolate, glad you are feeling better.
