DH has given DD all of her easter chocolate over the last week

I bought some small easter eggs and little mini egg things about a month ago for DD to do an easter egg hunt today. When I bought them, I said to DH these are for DD, don't eat them and don't give them to her because they are for easter. Put them in the cupboard under the stairs in an easter bucket thing so it was very clear.

Came downstairs today to find none of it is there. Asked DH and he said he's given it to her over the last week because he doesn't want her "eating it in one go".

AIBU for being really annoyed? I was really clear and was looking forward to doing this for her and had told her the easter bunny would be bringing her eggs and hiding them, so she knows we were meant to be doing this. All of the shops are shut today so I can't get any more.

DH has said that I'm over reacting for nothing, am ruining everyone's morning, should go back to sleep and f** off in general.

I will add he isn't usually a complete asshole.

He has ruined your plans.

Bet he has ate most of it himself.

He's just told me he ate all of the mini eggs "as have I"
I literally haven't touched a single one of them

That would annoy me too. He's being an arse and did it on the sly as he knew you had plans.

Why couldn't she do the egg hunt and then he could have saved them throughout the coming week instead - if he was that worried? Hmm

WelliesWithHeels · 17/04/2022 08:46

Ew. He sounds vile. Why would he want to ruin your DC's Easter?

Pavlova31 · 17/04/2022 08:46

That’s awful of him Op .

Exactly!!

I even bought him his own easter egg and she gave it to him and said "the easter bunny brings mine on easter, but here is yours because they don't bring them for you" so he KNEW

How old is she? Can you get him to do her a clue type hunt? You can put something else at the end of it.

SpringRainbow · 17/04/2022 08:47

I would be upset as well to be honest, especially since you have already told your daughter that she will be doing an Easter Egg hunt.

CaptainCallisto · 17/04/2022 08:47

Hide some real eggs if you've got some, and then get DD to decorate them when she's found them. We did that last year after I totally forgot to buy extra chocolate ones to hide and the DC's loved it!

CaptainCallisto · 17/04/2022 08:47

Obviously that doesn't change the fact your DH has been a prize pillock, but it might save it for dd

Margaritawithlime · 17/04/2022 08:48

Our local petrol station had loads left yesterday if there’s one close by for an emergency shop?

LivingDeadGirlUK · 17/04/2022 08:48

What an arse, he should be going out to replace them small shops are open today.

Igmum · 17/04/2022 08:48

Send him out to get some more OP. He ate them, he replaces them. Just because you have an egg hunt doesn't mean she has to eat them all today though she probably will.

SophieSoSo · 17/04/2022 08:48

What a fucking horrible thing to do to your daughter.

I am certain that this is not the first time he’s been such a selfish twat, is it?

Imissprosecco · 17/04/2022 08:48

YANBU. When she asks why she doesn't isn't doing an egg hunt and is disappointed he can be the one to explain it to her

endofthelinefinally · 17/04/2022 08:48

It sounds like you have an extra child. In future dont tell him anything and hide things somewhere more secure. It must be disappointing to discover he is so immature.

3 but she doesn't forget anything so will be confused if there is no easter eggs.

We don't unfortunately

Closest one that might be open is about 25 mins away, I'll head over in case or try to call ahead

Petrol stations or small shops may be open today, send him on his own egg hunt to find some

NoSquirrels · 17/04/2022 08:50

Send him to a garage with a shop.

He might not usually be “a complete arsehole” but I bet he’s regularly a bit of an arsehole. You had to explicitly instruct him not to eat your young child’s Easter eggs. (So he has form?) He’s told you to fuck off. He doesn’t sound great to me.

Popcornriver · 17/04/2022 08:51

YANBU and its daft to say he spread them out so she didn't eat them all in one go. Surely spread them out on Easter and after? Not before. Will she get more from family that you could hide? Or could you paint some together and hide those with a regular chocolate prize at the end? I don't blame you for being pissed off at all.

Laszlomydarling · 17/04/2022 08:51

How awful of him.

Pavlova31 · 17/04/2022 08:51

I agree with Derryrose. Guilt complex much ?

Popcornriver · 17/04/2022 08:52

Or yes as others said, send him round the petrol stations! Much better idea than mine.

Quartz2208 · 17/04/2022 08:52

Some local supermarkets are open find one and send him too it
