CF ate my chocolates

My son (13yo) bought me a box of my favourite chocolates for Mothers Day. Complete surprise, did it off his own back, I felt really special that he’d done this and was proud at how thoughtful he’d been.

I am currently on a diet and so have dipped into the box now and again as a treat. (Hadn’t even eaten half the box yet) I came home yesterday and decided to have one, when I found the box, exactly where I had left it (above the fridge) with all chocolates gone except 1 (dark coffee bean).

My DP has form for eating everything going in the kitchen, but even he knows not to touch my chocolates. The only other person who has been in our house was his best mate - who also has form for eating us out of everything in our cupboards.

He is a really good friend to DP, I like him to talk to, despite thinking he’s a rubbish husband to his wife and he’s quite insensitive and obnoxious. DP is shocked that the chocolates have gone but has easily dismissed the incident as “well clearly CF has eaten them”

AIBU to be pissed off that he’s eaten my chocolates? I’m also annoyed that DP is so unapologetically not bothered.

I had to go to bed early last night I was so annoyed and couldn’t talk to DP. I completely get that it’s an overreaction but I’m just really P* off by it. There’s cupboards full of food, there are all sorts of treats but he took the chocolates from above the fridge and can’t help feel it was done slyly as he hadn’t mentioned it to DP and had done it when DP wasn’t in the room. CF is loaded and so I feel he has no awareness that something like the chocolates were a special treat.

You’re not unreasonable - A) they were yours, B) and more importantly, they were a gift from your son. DP should be replacing them and calling out his ‘friend’. But I feel like your son’s feelings matter most here - if DP won’t, can you buy a new box and tell your son you consider them as from him still?

@Scylax This happened in April dude. (How did 'Mothers Day' not tip you off?)

Thanks. Link from FB. Not part of my culture so wouldn’t know when it is :D
