Mum Horrified After Kids Eat $200 Easter Stash

The mum was shocked to discover that her sons had found her Easter stash in the booze cupboard and managed to eat all of it!

When Aussie mum of two Afroditi Darwin hid nearly $200 worth of Easter eggs in her booze fridge, she never imagined her boys would find and eat the lot! Afroditi said that the boys got out of bed around 4 am and hatched a plan to get access to the hidden Easter chocolate, all while she was asleep and completely oblivious.

Chocolate For Breakfast

Afroditi says that she couldn’t believe that the boys had managed to eat all the chocolate.

“This morning my two lovely boys, aged 3.5 and 2, somehow managed to open the locked alcohol fridge where I had stashed their Easter chocolates,” she wrote.

“They ate about $150-$200 worth of chocolate for breakfast this morning.”

Afroditi admitted that it didn’t take her long to work out how the boys had managed to find her haul.

“They got the step from the toilet, put it on a chair and climbed up to unlock the child lock. They had two solid hours before I woke up.”

The mum of two believes she should not do Easter as the boys have already had more than their fair share of chocolate.

“They’re young,” she said. “Are they really going to know anyway?”

Blame The Bunny

Comments from other mums on the post offered some helpful suggestions.

“Tell them today was Easter and they just won the Easter egg hunt,” one clever mum suggested.

“The start of this post sounded so promising,” joked another. “I was looking forward to a drunken toddler story!”

We definitely think that Afroditi’s story is a timely reminder to find a toddler-proof hiding spot for your Easter hauls this year!

I have so many questions.
What on earth was she doing with $200 worth of easter eggs?
Why would the kids think to look in the booze fridge?
Why would the kids think that Mum had easter eggs when the Easter bunny brings them?
What new safety measures is she going to bring in so they cant get into that fridge again?

Thank goodness they didnt decide to get into the booze as well.

I’d never buy that much chocolate in the first place and I hate to think of the children’s headache after they come off that chocolate high. So hard to hide from littlies but I wouldn’t be using that hiding place again.

Was all of that chocolate bought for them? Or did they eat everyone’s share? If all for them I certainly would not be replacing it

Wow..thats ALOT of chocolate for young children. My 17 month old son recieved one chocolate egg this year – and he was pinging off the sugar in that! So I can only imagine those young children would have been off their heads after all of that chocolate and lots of toilet issues.

That is an excessive amount of chocolate! I keep my chocolate in my bedroom and the kids don’t know where it is.

That’s a lot of chocolate for 2 very young kids! I usually only spend about $20-$30 each on my kids and they are 7, 16, 19.

I would also be changing the lock on that fridge

$200 worth of chocolate for two boys seems excessive. I bet they had a belly ache afterwards.

They are so little that I think it would be mean to totally for go Easter. I would be reducing their egg stash a bit though.

Wow! I’d be concerned that they could access the alcohol too!! What cheeky little monkeys. That’s a whole lot of work for kids so young. I hide my Easter Eggs in various spots around the house. My son has never found them. So whilst you cannot give them any Easter Eggs from you, what about the Easter Bunny? Or is that myth now busted?

Isn’t this a repeat story? I’m sure I’ve read it before. My kids didn’t get huge amounts if Easter eggs, I preferred to buy toys or clothes or experiences. They had the egg hunt, but its not difficult to hide a couple of bags of small eggs
