Have I been a bitch?

[hotstepper4]

Dh and I share the weekly shop. One week he orders and pays, the next week I do.

This was dh weeks, I told him we had no dettol surface spray left and could he put some on the list.

Dh is always forgetting things. I've learned to live with it as one of his quirks so I wasn't surprised when he forgot it.

However tonight after dinner, the kitchen surfaces weren't good so I asked if he could nip to the corner shop to get some spray.

He comes back with fucking oust room freshener. He said he thought it was surface spray! I went a bit mad said why does he never listen and I'm sick of having to babysit him over the most basic tasks. I'm now in the bath feeling mean. I do have really bad pmt.

Was I a bitch? Maybe I should apologise. But he should have just got it in the main shop like I originally asked

Sorry I put paragraphs in my post don't know what happened to them..

sorry but that's quite funny

Did he go back out and get the right stuff?

Yeah he did. I'm still sitting like an evil old bitch in the bath.

My DP always gets THE WRONG THING.

At least you can freshen up the room before you manage to dispose of the body.

How old is he? Can he read? No you were not a bitch.

Honestly, if this is the worst thing he does, you do not have a problem. As for him forgetting things, what kind of things? Stuff to buy or more important things? Also, you couldn't have cleaned the counters with hot water and washing up liquid?

Lol. When ds was a baby I nearly divorced him because he bought a pot of Aptimil instead of Cow and Gate comfort milk. Did he not understand that with pfbs digestive system it was tantamount to feeding him arsenic? 🤣 I thought he'd learnt from that, but no..

Aquamarine, everything. He's an absent professor. Lovely guy, great dad, just zero common sense. We laugh about it usually. Just not tonight when I have a filthy kitchen and raging pmt.

not as dippy as sending mine for six tins of cat food and him coming back with six tins of dog food got a PHD and didnt spot the doggies on the tins

Dettol surface spray, as in that weird aerosol you spray on surface and it supposedly protects you from all manner of germs. I’m guessing so because your DP bought air freshener instead. If so it’s utterly pointless, you really don’t need it in your life and it’s a waste of your money.
Soap and water every time.

Oh my god, I've just had a vision of my DS in the future

I am so sorry OP, I am trying to wake him up but the boy just lives in cloud cuckoo land.

got a PHD and didnt spot the doggies on the tins

Lovely guy, great dad

Forgive him. Apologise. Forgive yourself. Life is too short for arguments about cleaning products.

On three separate occasions in my relationship I have sent DH out to get watercress and EVERY SINGLE TIME he has came back with mustard cress. I’ve learned to see the funny side

EjectorCrab you use soap on your worktops?

OP you weren’t a bitch he sounds like my DH

Amazing stories, I'm glad it isn't just me who suffers a dh like this 😂 I know it could be a lot worse.

I actually like zoflora, but to ask for zoflora would be totally beyond him, he'd probably come back with plant food.

got a PHD and didnt spot the doggies on the tins

That's hilarious!

It’s because they don’t have to think about these things too hard.....they know you will

I have a theory that people who do shit like this do it entirely on purpose so that you don’t ask again. Sadly for them if it’s me who’s asked they’re going to get asked every single time until the end of time because I’m just that way out. If they genuinely didn’t know what they were looking for then that’s fair enough, although arguably I’d prefer them to come back with nothing rather than the wrong thing which would be entirely useless to me. What I don’t get is that there have been times I’ve been sent for things (I’m not talking shopping here, I’m talking car parts, spares etc) and when I get there I have the choice of two bits or the guy at the counter asks me a question I don’t know the answer to. Do I just grab the nearest one and take it blindly home hoping that no one will notice? No, I either use my sodding brain or I ring someone who will know the answer. It’s really not hard to just TRY.
