DH took my food
SarahRae85

We're a 1-car household, at least for a little while longer. Generally, I wake up my kids and drive DH to work on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, I had no errands to run and wanted to let myself and my kids sleep in today, especially with how busy I anticipate the weekend being.
Since I usually restock the kitchen on Fridays, I did run to the corner store after putting the kids to bed to get some things. At DH's request, I picked him up some candy and a soda. I added a few things for myself and the kids, including some pre-made muffins (since we're low on cereal) and something for lunch.
When I woke up this morning and went to get breakfast served, I realized half the muffins were gone, along with the entire bag of chocolate and both sodas I picked up (I got one for myself, as a treat. I was completely addicted pre-pregnancy). I'm ticked. All that's left are two small muffins for me and my kids to split and the lunch I bought. All I can think is... seriously? He has our car so he can go get himself some snacks at lunch time if he wanted. He went through the stuff last night and didn't ask about the extras. Didn't even err on the side of caution this morning and leave what he was unsure about. Muffins sounded good, so he took them. Now the muffins I was really looking forward to are being split between my kids and I'm eating Cheerios.

Re: DH took my food
Sorry about your morning...
Every now and then I really crave a soda so I'll get myself some caffeine free coke. He will drink my caffeine free coke even though he has his own soda! So annoying.
My husband's a grazer too. He works 12-hour shifts as a machinist and will often pack a lunch and enough snacks to get him though the day. We generally restock his "stash" on Saturdays, so he is running low right now.
I can understand his reasoning in assuming it was all fair game (we have a "as long as its not the last one" rule in regards to each others preferred snacks and I buy the muffins as snacks more often than breakfast). I just bought so few things last night, that to wake up and find pretty much everything but the lunch gone (and I assume that was only safe because it requires and oven and DH only has access to microwaves at work). Grr!
Just to be clear, you left your toddlers at home in bed without a caregiver there while you ran to the store? ::headdesk::

Yes. Yes I did.
My Fiance and I were at Olive Garden (my favorite place to eat during pregnancy) and in the past he always tries to steal my crutons from my salad just to get me angry. He reached over wirth his fork to give me a cruton from his plate and a stabbed him with my fork thinking he was stealing one. he was so angry because he was "just trying to be nice" hahaha
Seriously, OP. Consider yourself lucky that the only thing you have to worry about after leaving your toddlers at home alone are some missing muffins.
1. OP, if you seriously leave your toddlers home alone, unattended then you really need to reconsider your priorities.
2. If the muffins were that important to you, why not just tell hubby that you were planning on those for breakfast and not to touch them? I find it strange that you have a "my food, your food" rule when your married and if you didn't tell him before hand not to touch them, then how can you place any blame on him. You said yourself that you know he likes to pack a lot of snacks.
Maybe I'm not reading the post right, but perhaps her Dh was home when the kids were asleep and she ran to the store? Surely that's the case and the, "Yes. Yes I did." was sarcasm.
Or no?
Nope. She said DH drove to work that day (rather than her driving him, so that she could sleep in). So "Yes. Yes I did." does in fact mean that she left her toddlers at home alone sleeping so she could go to the store.

or maybe she was being sarcastic and had a neighbor come over and sit on her couch while her kids were asleep and ran to the store? (I hope, I hope...)

But she wrote this post Friday at 7:40am. She said she went to the corner store after putting the kids to bed (Assuming this was Thursday night, hence Dh was probably home?) and when she woke up this morning (Friday AM, DH at work, with the car.) her stuff was gone. So maybe it's not what it seems? Sorry for playing devils advocate... I just can't imagine her being serious.
This was pretty much it. We're a 1-car household. I went to the store the night before because I knew I was short on key food supplies (milk, bread, etc.) that I normally get on Fridays when I run other errands.
I didn't make it 100% obvious DH was home in my original post, but I could not follow the logic that led to the absurd conclusion I had chosen to leave my 3 and 4 year old unsupervised to walk to the store based on saying I had gone after they were in bed, thus the sarcasm in my initial reply that was clearly missed.
I get pretty irritated when people take my food, too. I grew up pretty dang poor, so I have a habit of mentally allocating / rationing food as soon as I bring it home. Communication is key.
And I agree with PPs -- you don't mess with a pregnant lady's food!
