To think it was obvious they were for the kids??

DS is having a little play date today, low key birthday “party” but DS doesn’t really do parties so it’s more of a gloried play date.
Yesterday I did some baking … 8 sausage rolls, 8 scotch eggs, 8 jam slags and 8 chocolate brownies.

Came down this morning and most of it is gone, I text DH asking if he’d touched the baking and he said yes, he’d taken it for work.

im fuming, isn’t it fucking obvious that they were for the kids for today?? He’s insisting that it was not obvious. This is not the first time he’s done something like this.

Dd has school lunches at the moment - but in the past the packed lunch treats were always being plundered by DH who couldn't give a c*. All the food in the house is his birthright! Excess Easter eggs included. Any treats we have he comes and peers at in case he can claim it as his.

Hilarious and we are used to it,

That does not sound hilarious. He sounds selfish, greedy, and entitled Confused

What would happen if he came over to "peer" at your food and you told him to fuck off and keep his thieving hands to himself?

I totally kick off about it! But you have to hide stuff from him for sure.

Just laugh out loud to lighten your mood, lift your humour.

Text DH and say: ' so glad you are enjoying the home baking Darlint, you deserve this because I love you heaps and you are a hardworking provider.' Or some such sweet love message, this will restore your humour, increase your attachment, then buy from local bakery. Nobody will.mind they are their to see you and your DS and enjoy your company.

HAHAHA hilarious, I love it when men piss away my time, energy and labour. Not thinking about their child's birthday is so ATTRACTIVE and CUTE.

Apologies - I didn't mean to appear to be laughing at OP, clumsy posting from me.

Every family of unique and my dc and I have to be very vigilant or create clear signage about designated special food. It's just a thing. I'm not defending it - it just wouldn't surprise me if it happened on this house. Haven't done special baking for dc for so long!

Also, no one's perfect - DH has great strengths proven over decades together, but he is a food swiper- it is just a fact. We still love him very much.

@Allshallbewell2021

i don’t know why you talk about it like it’s some quaint little personality trait of your husbands that he cannot control! He can control it and change it - he just needs to stop being selfish and greedy around food, easy!

Allshallbewell2021 · 25/06/2024 12:43

I can't argue with you there!
