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?

He doesn't regret it, as the OP explains

So very sorry, your kids won't ever forget it.

I always feel sorry for the mother of these losers, who end up moving back home. Imagine thinking your work
is done, then you’re stuck cooking dinner for your dickhead son again…

My mum used to do this all the time when I was a kid - Christmas, Easter, Birthday, etc. She has no self control in any area though, and has always been a selfish person. Is your DH like that in other ways? I think showing that kind of disregard for your own kids says a lot about someone's character.

Just the fact he goes to the pub until 1am on a bank holiday weekend is enough for me. Leave that life behind, you immature fool. Was there not toast or something else he could have had? Surely food on the way home or out... this man needs kicking to the kerb, fast. I'd imagine it's not the only misdemeanour against his name. Am I right in thinking this is one incident in a long line?

Husband?

Or teenaged son???

what a vainglorious, selfish prick.

’not the first time he’s done this either’ WTF???

I don’t think I’d be able to get over this, I really don’t. As another poster said, I hope his teeth fall out.

Set your bar higher. I don’t know whether to pity you or not. Hope you are joking.

You knew he had form OP, why leave them where he could find them. 😫

I couldn’t imagine I’d want to be with such trash but if he has redeemable qualities/this was a one off. I would expect him to take the children out as an apology. Plus a new sofa.

How upsetting for the kids! My DH has a reputation for eating all the snacks but there's no way he'd eat the kids Easter eggs!

That's so selfish of him. Is he not bothered that he's upset the kids?!

Excellent reply @AnnBoo
Hes an arsehole. The fact he is refusing to replace just shows it. A mistake yes, but if it was u would be mortified and be quickly trying to rectify it.

Selfish fucker if he wanted Easter eggs he could have bought his own. I did and managed to avoid eating any of my kids Easter hampers.

Terrible to do it, disgusting to refuse to replace them. What a . What was his reason as to why he couldn't/wouldn't replace them?

What a horrible man. I wouldn't want my children to be brought up by such an awful role model.

He ate 4 Easter eggs in (presumably) quick succession? Blimey.

Of topic but it was set up by people in London I believe so technically yes it is

That’s awful OP! I’m glad you told the kids the truth instead of covering for him.

Yes most people have done stupid things they regret when drunk. I think what the OP is most upset about is the fact that the next morning he did not give a fuck. If he was full
if regret and trying to sort replacing the eggs but he didn’t did it. Why do you think that OP is unreasonable and should try find a shop to get some replacements for her selfish drunk husband. Your reply is totally unreasonable.

Greedy prick

We have at least one post like this every Easter

That would put me right off him

And most shops aren't open on Easter Sunday

I normally roll my eyes at all the LTBs on here, OP. But there’s something so selfishly, horribly grim about this that I really think it would be a deal breaker for me. What an absolute wanker. If he’d shown some remorse for his drunken savagery then maybe.. but it’s an LTB from me. Fucking shameless. Where did you find such an arsehole?

I would just calmly tell the DC that daddy came home drunk and ate their Easter eggs.

Then because he refused to replace them due to his entitlement I would make plans to leave him because he doesn’t value either his children or their mother.

What a selfish asshole your DH is. I’m so sorry for you and your poor kids.

As an aside, if I found out my DS had done this and behaved with no remorse there is no way he’d be staying under my roof. Id be disgusted and wondering where I’d gone wrong in life to bring up a sorry excuse of a man like that.

yeah but to not even be remorseful and want to rectify it when sober? from your own children?!
it's pretty low
