Husband stole kids' Easter eggs

[AnnBoo]

Not sure if this is unreasonable, my friends seem to agree with me but wanted an outsider's opinion...

I'll try to keep this short.

Last night my hubby went out to the pub while I stayed home with the kids. I fancied a night out myself- haven't had one in months- but didn't have the option since he wanted to see the lads. He said he would go only have a few rounds and be home by about 10:00-10:30pm, but stumbled in at about 1. I was already in bed, and woke up to the slam of the front door but fell back asleep shortly after he came in. This morning I woke up around 6am to set up the kids Easter egg hunt, but to my surprise the cupboard was empty. I then found a huge heap of cardboard and tin foil beside the sofa. All 4 Easter eggs- 2 each for the kids- were demolished, along with brown smears all over our new beige sofa. LIVID!
It's not the first time he's done this too! My 7 year old daughter's Christmas chocolate disappeared late one night, luckily with enough time to replace before Xmas day. But this time, I've had no chance to.
My kids came downstairs so excited this morning but their faces absolutely dropped as I told them what happened. My husband was hungover and dead asleep in bed until midday, when he got up I explained to him how upset he's made the kids. He didn't even bat an eyelid before he went to make his coffee.

I've asked him to stay at his mums for the next few nights, or until he replaces the chocolate (which he's refusing to do). AIBU?

YANBU unforgivable, does he smoke, wonder if hes had some wacky backy and got the munchies or was just selfish ?

Dump this arse hole

What a nasty selfish person. Do not allow him to treat you or your little ones like this. How sad

How could he do that to his children?! I'm guessing this isn't the only incredibly selfish thing he's done.

Why should the op run out & buy them?her drunken greedy good for nothing husband should be begging the kids forgiveness & go buy more!

No. I've been absolutely shitfaced and done lots of silly things when drink, but never anything that thoughtless and hurtful.

And I'm sorry, a shop WHO can go to?

Get rid.

Wow. Some people's selfishness holds no bounds.

What post are you responding to?!?! Where does the op say she got drunk?? And why should she parent her wreck of a husband?!

What a twat. Personally I would tell him to stay at his mothers for good; you are better off without him

There’s a whole lot more to this than eggs. It says so much about who he is

I have to agree with the LTB comments. You love your children, want the best for them and prioritize them even when you are drunk. The fact that he wasn't mortified by his behaviour when he sobered up and that he has done similar before should tell you everything. Don't allow you children to be continually devastated. It will affect them their whole lives. If you do then you are no better.

Wow. This deeply unpleasant man did something awful and you want his wife to put it right?

When I read the title I thought it was a simple case of dad has pinched a bit of chocolate. But no I honestly think it's time you called that relationship over. Anyone who will ruin Christmas, birthdays and Easter for their kids doesn't deserve them. I mean we are a pretty accepting family and I always get Easter eggs for me, hubby and DS and as I don't eat a lot of chocolate very often due to dysphagia sometimes DS or DH will finish theirs and start punching bits of mine. But they wouldn't take the lot and not the day before Easter. Get rid

Good grief, what a nasty, selfish piece of work. I suggest you show him these posts & hopefully shame the b’stard.
As for those suggesting make excuses for his behaviour because he was drunk - ignore. As you said, he did it at Christmas - he has form for it. Make his life as much hell as you can, he deserves nothing less, the disgusting individual. The fact he can do this do his own children is beyond contemptible.

I would.

I rally, really would.

What an unwiped arsehole the man is.

What does his mum say about the eggs?

Oldperson, go back and read the original post again - she said she fancied a night out herself, but didn’t have the option, she didn’t intimate that she wanted to get “blind drunk” on her night out when she had the option to have one. You are presuming rather a lot, I think.

Your children will never ever forget this happened. The shock will warp them and they may grow up traumatised thinking this is normal. You must remove this man.

YOU are being unreasonable. And ridiculous. I can't believe you have said this.

When people are drunk, they show you who they really are

This isn’t about him wanting a snack, this is about him deliberately choosing to upset the kids

Difficult to say without knowing you in real life but he doesn’t sound like someone who should be left alone with the kids

I’m sorry :(

Eating one egg when drunk is kind of excusable but ALL the eggs ? That’s seriously nasty, no decent dad would do that. Sounds like a horrible guy- quite right to send him packing to his mother - she bears responsibility for his upbringing

I had a greedy twat of a husband too. Now an exH thank goodness. He sounds like a complete charmer. I couldnt be with a man who put himself before the children. So sorry this happened OP.

Might do if I was really really drunk.

would get bus in to town immediately upon waking up with feeling of remorse, and explain that the Easter Bunny was running later owing to questions having been raised about the Orthdox vs Western interpretation of when Easter comes around.

Here OP have my first ever LTB
