To have a secret snack drawer

[Dolly34]

There’s a drawer in our kitchen that I know my husband never looks in. I bought some chocolate to bake with the other day and hid it in this draw so he wouldn’t find it and eat it before I baked. Since then, I’ve bought a big dairy milk caramel bar and left it in there for when I want to pick at it.
It’s been in there over a week, and I know if it was anywhere else, my DH would have inhaled it.

Today, I bought a pack of chocolate hobnobs and put them in the draw - again so I can pick at at my leisure when working from
home.

AIBU by hiding food from my husband to keep for myself?

(some extra context that I’ve been going through IVF this month and just want a stash for when I need it, rather than going to get something and it’s disappeared!)

Drawer

Is that like a raffle?

Totally normal. I have a chocolate stash. Lasts for ages but if it was in the kitchen drawer it would be gone in a day and the empty wrapper left behind.

YANBU.
I don't have a specific place where I hide things but I just put chocolate I don't want DH to help himself to in low down, inconvenient places in the kitchen cupboards. Basically if it's not in front of his face then it's safe. He's more than welcome to buy his own 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I have a secret stash too.

The word is drawer, not draw 🙄

We each have our own drawer.

Stop it you lot! Leave OP and her spelling alone, there's no need for it.

I used to have a few hiding places for snacks in my kitchen. Trouble was, the kids were very good at sniffing out where I hid things. Thank goodness they've left home and DH is oblivious.

What I want to know is how you keep a dairy milk caramel bar for a week?!

Came to say the same 😂
I can’t understand why so many people call it a draw.

But in reply to OP - no I hide snacks in my house all the time - if I didn’t I would never get to eat them.

He's going to find it one day and feel betrayed 😆

Yawn....

No YANBU OP, DH has every opportunity to purchase snacks, they pass a myriad of shops in their daily life. Enjoy your snacks.

PS, good luck with the IVF. Ignore people picking on spelling.

I have two teenagers and if I don't have a secret snack drawer there is nothing left 🤣🤣

Half a chocolate orange id anyone would like a slice , 🤤

Not unreasonable at all. I have a drawer in the utility room that I hide stuff in. DH is a greedy bastard and if it all goes in the cupboard, it's gone in a day. So it's half in the cupboard and half in my treat drawer!

All the PPs commenting that it's drawer not draw need more joy in their life. Perhaps via a snack drawer

It’s DRAWER.

People spell it draw as that how it's pronounced. (Waits for the rhotic speakers to disagree 🤣)

Sorry u couldn’t get past draw either and normally i eye roll at the SPAG police 😅. Of course YANBU about the chocolate drawer though op. Enjoy your contraband snacks

My 28 year old DS came home for 6 months and quickly found my twirl stash(6 bars), and ate 5 of them. When there are plenty of twirls, 6 is plenty, I can leave them alone. But a shortage of twirls (1 bar is a shortage) leads to me eating it. So I ate the last bar and explained my difficulties to my DS.
He announced that he could fix it and ordered a box of about 40 twirls from Amazon and assured me that any perceived shortage would be swiftly rectified. We cohabited in peace for the six months.

I don’t because I used to overeat things that weren’t good for me and now use MJ! Hiding things and eating stuff in secret generally didn’t work out well for me because I had no self control 😂
All snacks/chocolate/biscuits just go in the cupboard. Unless everyone else in the house has a secret stash I guess!!

I also have a bag of mini eggs and some really good Christmas shortbread left 🤣🤣 yes I spell it drawer....draw is what you do with a pencil ✏️ 🤣

Yes I have a secret stash of DH just eats it. I’m safe if anything contains peanut butter or liquorice as I'm the only person in our household who likes them.

Lots of things are not spelled as they sound which is why teaching phonics for English reading is full of challenges 😆
