To think eating someone else’s birthday present isn’t ok?

I think OH has been a bit mean here but prepared to hear that I’ve overreacted.

DS had a birthday this week. Both DS and OH love ice cream, so OH bought DS a tub of ice cream as a present.

DS is now on holiday with his dad for 2 weeks, and so OH has opened the ice cream, will eat it and then replace it.

I wouldn’t dream of doing that as it seems wrong to eat someone else’s present even if it would get replaced, but AIBU or am I justified to feel pissed off on behalf of DS?

But your son is away for two weeks. As long as the ice cream has replaced them, why does it matter?

Oooooh the times I’ve replaced the DCs treats!

And my DH’s beer for that matter actually!

Is the original tub of Hagen Daaz blessed by unicorns, this rendering every other tub of fucking identical replacement Hagen Daaz, useless?

What the actual fuck have I just read?

Is this just your bog standard supermarket ice cream?

Let him replace the bloody stuff and move on with your life.

My goodness, the number of times I've given in to temptation and eaten something that's not mine - but I've always replaced it afterwards, and as long as he does the same it's a complete non event.

Yabu.

Does absolutely no harm to your son he will be non the wiser. Why grudge oh an ice cream (unless you dont believe he will replace it?)

Good grief, get a grip.

Sounds like it’s you and DS against the poor man.

This. How utterly ridiculous you are.
