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?

This. My legs and heart would be forever closed to such a greedy thieving wanker. Poor DC.

Very true, that's why I don't drink at all now, about 4 years.
Do not know other dynamics of the marriage, but unless otherwise insufferable, LTB is too much for this one occasion.
I cannot help wondering though, who goes after chocolate eggs when drunk?
Spicy sausages, crisps, curry....but chocolate?
😁

This 👆 Baffling!

It's not just about Easter Eggs. It's him just steam rolling over you and your children to do exactly what he wants. He gets to go out not you. He eats the chocolate eggs not his young children.

He's selfish and unkind and he doesn't care about your or your children's feelings. I couldn't live with someone like that.

Your kids will never forget this. It is not as if he made the slightest effort to put it right or showed any shame or contrition. Being drunk is no excuse, all alcohol does is take the brakes off and lets what is lurking underneath out into the open.

How do you eat 4 entire easter eggs after (presumably ) a fair amount of booze which is also full of sugar? Even small easter eggs at that quantity would make most drunk people sick. He sounds like an actual pig tbh

He's a complete and utter self-centred arsehole. He clearly has zero respect for you and your kids. And, just to add insult to injury, he has absolutely no remorse whatsoever. Do yourself a massive favour, OP, and leave this vile prick.

Sounds like a selfish, spoilt child who has never grown up.
Honestly, you need to decide whether to be a single parent to 2 nice kids, or a single parent to 3 kids, one of whom is not at all nice, because either way you're the only adult in this situation.

Exactly. Why would you ever want to have sex again with someone so obnoxious and cruel to your children?

I cannot 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would get passed this if he had been apologetic and mortified and replaced them.

But... wow

I rarely post LTB but this is despicable. Your poor kids

Like fuck would he have been sleeping in until 12 in my house. He'd have been hoofed out asap and told not to come back until he had found somewhere to replace the eggs. What a twat.

You say 'my kids', are they his as well? This could explain a lot.

A lovely friend you have and I am pleased your dds got their easter eggs.

It does certainly warrant a serious conversation with him

YANBU. I could have forgiven him for eating them if he was apologetic and went out to buy more / make it up to them. But he doesn’t even care that he’s upset his children.

Stoned, innit.

It's 99% on him, but if he's form for this, would you not have thought about putting the eggs somewhere to avoid this happening (as pathetic as having to hide your children's Easter eggs away from your selfish, inconsiderate glutton of a husband)?

I'd tell him to stay at his mum's.

Problem is he is refusing to replace them!

DH has eaten eggs stored away a week or so in advance. Even that I thought was poor and I gave him a hard time as one of them had sold out and I had to replace with second best choice. But no way woujd DH have done it the night before. Those poor little faces!

Someone can’t handle drinking. I would’ve locked the door if he had form for being like this. He needs to grow up!

😳😳😳

Very unattractive. This would give me the ick for life.

How embarrassing for him too.

I don’t believe this at all. Sounds like a tall tale to me.

YABU for not dragging his arse out of bed before the kids got up to go and buy them more eggs, no matter how lomg it took to find somewhere open and selling eggs.

I've never said LTB before but fuck me LTB
