Whenever I buy something as a bit of a treat for me/DH, he always always invites DSC to have same (which ends up being loads).

I went shopping eaelier and bought DSC some treats and then something me and DH really like which we don't have often as it's a bit expensive as treats go.

He's just gone and got them out now and they are currently being scoffed by the kids (who also have what I bought them as a Friday treat too).

I'm so pissed off.

@Skiptheheartsandflowers

Did people not notice that OP also bought Friday treats for the kids? They didn't just get nothing while the grown ups live high on the hog.
Yes I did. So they are getting their own treats and half of OP's share.

OP you could always take your half of the nice stuff and just give DH the other half to do what he wants with? And stop buying seperate treats? So you'll save money and he can give away his half not yours.

Well tell him it's made you angry and you do not want him to do it again. He's in the wrong for ignoring what you'd specifically said to him.

YANBU. And you shouldn’t have to wait until children are in bed to eat what you want.

You bought treats for them and adult treats. They shouldn’t get both and they certainly should be given your share by DH.

Have your own ‘treats’ box.

Of course their father will share the treats with his children

@Feelingoktoday

I’m sorry but I don’t have ‘my’ food and the ‘kids’ food. We all share. So why do you think it’s different with your step kids? It’s mean.
But they are not sharing with the OP!

What was it? If it was a big chocolate cake that there was plenty of yabu. If it was decent but expensive bars of chocolate or such like yanbu.

We dont have "our food" and "their food" in this house and I find the whole idea totally wrong. Although I do appreciate that's how some families do it I wouldnt have my children treated like that and would do what your dh is doing.

You'd be equally disrespectful to your partner, who thought that for themself, then.
Porcupineintherough · 12/07/2021 10:22

Well we tend to discuss and agree how our household is going to work so not really, no.

Sisisimone · 12/07/2021 10:27

What were the treats? I think it would make a difference to how I would respond dependent on what they were. Were the kids Friday treats something they were really going to enjoy?
Looks like you'll have to hide them till the kids go to bed in future if you want to scoff without them.

Next time buy 2 but only tell him about 1, then when he shares one/his with his DC you get to eat yours on your own later - he has already 'had' (given away) his.

😂😂😂😂

MiddleParking · 12/07/2021 19:56

That would drive me absolutely up the wall. I would be really, really pissed off and tell him so.

Knackeredmommy · 12/07/2021 20:43

I hide my treats! I'd say nothing, sod it! I'd them from DH too. He can do what he likes with his treats, not mine though.
