to expect that when I buy party bag sweets...

[stirringbeast]

....DH doesn't bloody well scoff them?

They were at the very back of the cupboard. DD's birthday is coming up and I've been starting to stockpile some bits and pieces for her party - little bags of Haribo for party bags, lollies, kinder eggs etc.

I caught him red-handed this evening with a bag of cola bottles. Closer inspection has revealed only a fraction of what I bought is still there, and there are some empty pakets in his trousers in the washing basket. Not very good at covering his tracks.

I've just had a go at him and he's looking a bit sheepish, but has now appeared with a whole carton of ice-cream and ONE SPOON. This is obviously his way of acknowledging I'm trying to lose a few pounds, by not bringing a spoon for me.

Grrr.

Do I really need to lock up the treats from him? Maybe something that gives him a small electric shock when he tries to snaffle them....

Do you really need to lock up treats? Yes. Yes you do. Everyone knows Haribo has got crack in it, he couldn't help himself.

Maybe buy him some big bags? Right to be annoyed he ate the small ones.

Wasn´t it obvious tohim that they were for children?

Ok, need to have his own labelled snack box obviously. Might put some baby biscuits in it, just to see how desperate he is.

We hardly ever have sweets in the house, obviously couldn't believe his luck, in manner of 5 year old.

Do all men do that then?

We have a safe in our kitchen (a small one from Staples)!

We don´t have sweets that often.
So that husband would ask who they were for.

lock them up, I hide things from DH last week he ate 5 doughnuts in 2 days and tried to take my SW cereal bar off me sometimes think I've got 4 kids not 3.

I think my DH would ask if they were small bags .... he would eat big bags though. My DC would help themselves to small bags if I left them too low down though.

My dcs wouldn't help themselves, they would ask! DH is extra child I haven't yet cracked then...

Off to purchase safe online....

He's trying to talk to me all "normal" now. I told him I'm not ready yet.

lmao about haribo and crack - perhaps thats why my DP will quite happily scoff a whole big bag of it - i personally think its rancid

My dh does exactly the same. My mum buys sweets for the dcs and he always, always eats them.

He can't help himself.

Maybe this is proof that they never grow up!

My DH hides sweets and chocolate on the high shelves so I can't see(and therefore eat) them. He's much more restrained than I.

Just ask him to replace everything he has eaten as you had bought them for a specific occasion.

I'd have eaten them too....

I'd be the one likely to eat them here (although as it would be me buying them for party bags, I wouldn't eat them)

My dh ate the haribo 'Christmas Selection' I had bought for DD1's boyfriend. I had put them on top of the piano, a place dh never looks. He has a special ability to find rubbishy sweets.

I have to label stuff "do not eat". All of his brothers do the same thing - I bought food for DD to eat on teh train home from MiL's house, and when I went to pack it before the journey, half of it was gone!

Well,it wouldn't happen here as dh would know they were for the party bags,s I bore him with every detail of things I am planning. ;). But if he did have a sweet tooth, and didn't know they were for a special purpose, I would label them "for party bags- do not eat'.

So I need to do the labelling quick then.

Once, years ago, DH actually unwrapped and ate a box of chocs which was sitting on a shelf ready to give to a friend. Like took fancy paper and bows off. I still bring it up sometimes if I need something else to have a go at him about.
