NP. Yeah, I also suspect that OP and her DH have other issues, or the DH had an upbringing where he wasn't allowed things he wanted, or the DH accuses OP of other things at other times unrelated to this incident....Just a strangely virulent reaction, if the situation really is ONLY about this candy and OP having her own stash. That's why an overreaction like DH's does not usually come out of the blue; usually there's something else behind it, not just the immediate trigger. I"m not saying the "something else" means OP is in the wrong! Or that DH is. But something seems off, here.

OP still hasn't told us if she noshes her special chocolate in front of the kids -- which would be rude of her, and also is just unwise as it's basically ASKING her DH and kids to get worked up. Maybe that's the only reason the DH got so mad; maybe OP insists on eating her special choc right out in the open, which could get on anyone's nerves. But I still think there must be more going on between them or in the DH's background re: sharing, food, special stuff for adults but not kids.

So...OP? [/quote]
