Easter eggs

Dp is a choc addict. He eats it everyday. Not healthy but his choice and lives easter eggs, once they were out in new year he's bought one a week atelast for himself.
Today is Easter he has not bought any eggs for me or for the 4 children (3 are my dsc). His excuse was the shops sold out when he went yesterday night.... I'm bloody annoyed. My family have got the dsc eggs and their own dad didn't bother. I also got him and children eggs weeks ago and put them up for today.
He's had weeks of buying eggs for himself and could have got something for the kids then and put them away.
I think he's selfish but he's just saying it's no his fault, what's everyone's view?

Take the one you got for him away from him and share it between the kids. There is no way on earth he should be keeping that.
There were people in Tesco yesterday upset that there were no eggs left but last year was the same. I made sure I got ours on Wednesday and I think that was cutting it fine but if I’d been unable to get any and someone gave me one I would have regifted it.

They have got eggs, they don’t need an egg from everyone, I don’t remember ever getting an Easter egg from both parents, nor any other present either it was always joint. I don’t know why you need him to buy you an egg either. I ordered a couple of eggs, one each for DH and I, it is just an Easter egg and we are adults, we don’t need to buy them for each other. I think you are being very weird about it all.

has there really been a shortage on eggs this year i mean they have been in the shops since after christmas and the was 75p and £2 in tesco on offer for a good few weeks an they had hundreds so i don’t agree there was a shortage it’s people not being organised i had mine weeks back no problems and managed to buy to donate quite a lot of them to but i wouldn’t ever leave it last minute and wonder why there’s no eggs as people have been buying them the offers in tea o literally finished 25th march and they had thousands of eggs daily my dp didn’t buy any eggs for our children i did an gave them of us both id of not gave him one though for being greedy an thinking of
himself i don’t think men think like us mums as they no we’d never leave the children without anything

Bloody hell, OP said he’s bought ‘one a week at least’, by which I assume she means one or two each week. That’s not a great deal of chocolate unless he’s buying massive ones, the posts saying he’s greedy are a bit unnecessary. Maybe he just really likes Easter eggs. And chocolate is his treat.

It’s a separate thing to not getting any for the kids but someone having a chocolate egg once or twice per week isn’t ‘greedy’!
