Yeah, I know how you feel… I get mad at Monkeyboy for that kind of thing! Like, I’ll buy a box of vanilla wafers, meaning to dole them out to the little kids as afterschool snacks over the course of a month or so… and Monkeyboy will take the whole box up to his room and devour it in one hour! So, Tate is kinda like a twelve-year-old boy, I suppose! What I’ve done is took a big bowl and filled it with afterschool snacks, put nilla wafers and crackers and stuff into individual little zip lock bags, and everyone is allowed to take ONE per sitting! No eating a whole box! If you want Nilla wafers, you can take a zmall ziplock bag of them! It also makes it easier to see when we’re out of things like granola bars and fruit snacks and stuff.

I’m glad to know that my house is not the only house that this happens in.

What does DH eat? Stuff for school lunches; stuff I was planning on using for dinner; leaves the 1″ of milk in the carton etc.

On the flip side, he will request that I purchase cold cuts for him to take for lunch, so I do, then it will be a week of “Oh, we ended up going out to lunch today, and tomorrow I am getting taken out to lunch by xxxx” So what happens to all the cold cuts?

GRRRRR

I think our husbands may be related. Either that or there’s something in our area water that makes men selfish gluttonous pigs…Not sure which.

I think you need to use his imported, expensive beer as toilet cleaner. Tell him the carbonation and barley are good for getting out his skid marks on the bowl. When he looks at you incredulously, tell him that he'll feel better after he eats a granola bar. .-= Texan Mama´s last blog ..I {heart} Mondays =-.

You know, this is NOT a good day for me to read this. I am in a bitchy mood and it just IRKS THE HELL out of me that most men (not ALL) don't think of the kids first, like mothers tend to do. I have to freaking HIDE THE FOOD in our house, lest it be eaten by my husband. God forbid a box of snacks be in the pantry! It must be there to be eaten in one sitting! Cereal? A late night snack! Never mind the fact that it is the ONLY THING available for breakfast and that I have bought groceries with the change jar for the last 6 months. Ok. I'm sufficiently pissed. Who else wants a piece of me?!? .-= tracey´s last blog ..Drinking Shiraz with a Walrus... =-.

I solved this little problem by withholding sex for a month. It's also helpful that my engineer husband can't see anything that isn't right in front of his face so if I don't want him to eat something I hide it behind the milk. .-= Connie @ Young and Relentless´s last blog ..I Don't Like Being Sad =-.

Dude, I had to create an Alexis Box in both the fridge and the pantry. Mine touches anything in either box, IT'S ON. I will pour his beer down the drain, oh yes I will. I'm willing to go all sorts of crazy if I never again have to deal with a kid who wants Pink Cereal and is denied because a certain someone ate it all and didn't mention it. NEVER AGAIN. (Sorry. I get a leeedle bit emotional when people bring up spouses eating kid food.) .-= Burgh Baby´s last blog ..Christmas Crazy for Kids =-.

I don’t know if I’d call it petty….it’s pretty rude eat so much of something that there isn’t enough for anyone, let alone everyone, else. It must be a man thing. My husband will do it, too.

Oh I feel you sister! My hubby does this all the time with the kids snacks. I try and but snacks that will last thru the week for lunches and he munches away on them while I'm not looking. .-= Kat´s last blog ..not me monday - she strikes again! =-.
