Please agree with me this was a shitty thing for DP to say

Just wanted to vent really.
We've just eaten and my 2 girls and I are watching a film. DP walks in the room and offers us drinks. We're all engrossed in the film (the exciting bit is coming up) and we all ignore him are a bit slow to respond.
He stands there and says "I'm going to have boys with my next wife".

Tell me I'm thoroughly justified to be sat here with a sour face and steam coming out of my ears.

The only retort to that one is

.. And I'm ONLY going to have hot sex with my next H.

I have DS's. It's the sort of thing I say to them and DH about having girls when they are watching Match of the Day and I get ignored. Don't be cross. Smile

Sorry I think it's funnySad
In context of course if my OH had said it I'd have given him the fingers and laughed when he wasn't looking

I think that was pretty funny actually.

Why are you so pissed off?

Misuse of apostrophe. Sorry. Sad

Quite rude to ignore someone who's offering to make you drinks.
I think his comment was intended as a non-serious way to show he was a bit miffed. It wouldn't bother me.

Depends how he said it really. Don't you say things like that too? I do.

You feel how you feel. It's annoyed you.

Was it a daft joke or some sort of spiteful thing?

I can quite see myself saying something like that to my husband - about my 'next husband', but he'd understand that I was playing because we do say some right things to each other Grin but I'm guessing by the fact that you are cross, that that's not the sort of thing you guys do?

I think that's funny Confused. did he say it ruefully?

Just the type of thing my lovely dh would say. Agree too that tv less important than responding.

I think he's lovely for offering to make you drinks in the first place.

Ah I think it's funny. Unless he said it really meanly or spitefully. Kind of thing my DH and I would say to each other in jest

Me and DP do say that kind of thing to each other, so from my POV, YABU.

Sorry, I thought this was AIBU. To answer you correctly OP, I don't think your DH's comment was shitty.

YABU.

I think it's quite funny and you are rude to ignore him, he was trying to be nice.

Yeah , I know it rude to not respond straight away and yes, we do have a laugh and take the piss out of each other, but I found this remark quite hurtful.

I think it's funny too and I would have laughed and most probably made some retort when giving him my drinks order Grin

Could he be feeling marginalised? I suggest you all make a bit of a fuss of him to compensate for ignoring him being overly slow to respond to his kind offer so that he's reminded of how lucky he is to be surrounded by females.

The DH of a friend always introduced her as 'The 1st Mrs. XXXX' - just to keep her on her toes! She is a lady who can easily stand up for herself, and some of us found it funny, whilst others were a bit huffy about it.

Sorry funny, unless of course there is any suggestion that he may in fact be planning on trading you in, in which case he is an arse.

Was it a particuarly girly film as well though?
