H and I have had another row which leaves me fuming and pretty much taken for granted.
I was annoyed, he was annoyed and has taken the dh to do the shopping leaving me here getting angrier and and angrier.
Have packed a bag and waiting on them coming back so I can just go - see how he copes on his own!
Feeling unappreciated and taken for granted on all aspects of the 'housework' and taking care of the children and he doesn't see what the problem is.

Today for example, it's all right for him to have lunch, but leave me with nothing and I can get something after we go shopping ( they're still not back!)
Am bloody starving, no food in house and I've done so much already today while he sleeps on till 12.15

Aarrrghhh! So much unsaid, but it may be the straw that broke the camels back.

Just want to be appreciated, and no matter how many rows/ talks we have on the matter, nothing changes.

Our dc are 3 and 5 and not fair on them to have to live with this.
Someone please help...

I am assuming they are with him? Go out for a few hours and come back tonight He will cope

Ladyintheradiator-I have no idea how it happened?!! That's what I want to know!
Any unselfish person would behave in the manner which you've described!

No food as we were due to go grocery shopping ( we were sitting on the car to go when I said I had had enough and got out)

aside from the fact if you went to an hotel, you'd only be fuelling any argument as presumably you'd come back after 1 day of 'stewing', was/is there really NOTHING in your house to eat, or did he eat something you had your eye on?

nomorepets · 23/04/2011 15:00

ok so you have a computer the internet but no food????????!!!

GypsyMoth · 23/04/2011 15:01

there must be more to this

catchafallingstar · 23/04/2011 15:02

There s really nothing - he ate a pot noodle which is akin to a worm sandwich in my eyes and I'd never covet!

worraliberty · 23/04/2011 15:02

I understand you were going shopping but NO food in the house at all???

No matter what else happens OP, you really shouldn't let supplies get that low, if only because if SS for whatever reason paid you a visit, they would see that as neglect.

He does sound very selfish but I don't think storming off is going to solve your problems...you two need to talk.

noddyholder · 23/04/2011 15:02

Why don't you go out and get a sandwich and then go to the cinema

peeriebear · 23/04/2011 15:05

But... If a Pot Noodle is all there was, and you hate them, why wouldn't he eat it? Am I misunderstanding? Confused

catchafallingstar · 23/04/2011 15:05

I never said I couldn't afford food nomorepets, there just happens to be a lack of it in the house at the moment hence why we where on our way to do grocery shopping!

It's the selfishness described by ladyraduator which infuriated me on top of the other rows etc and feeling of being taken for granted.

GO out for lunch.

RainbowPatooties · 23/04/2011 15:06

go to the corner shop and get a snack while you wait for them to get back

BeakerTheMuppetMuppet · 23/04/2011 15:06

you were in the car and stropped off during a row?

Hmm

methinks he's prob on another forum saying 'AIBU to let her stew for another hour' or similar.

and worra, i really don't think SS would do anything if you had nothing in your cupboards. lots of people must be in that situation from time to time...

catchafallingstar · 23/04/2011 15:07

He ate it!

He's back....

OP posts:
worraliberty · 23/04/2011 15:07

Right so all this is because he ate something for lunch that you never have eaten in a million years anyway?? Confused

RainbowPatooties · 23/04/2011 15:08

and if you really are as hungry as you say, no matter how much you hate pot noodles , you would eat it

worraliberty · 23/04/2011 15:08

Beaker read the SS thread. They do check the food supply in the house when they have to call.

Simply saying 'Oh there was absolutely nothing because we were going shopping' just wouldn't cut it with two small children in the house.

BeakerTheMuppetMuppet · 23/04/2011 15:14

go on then worra have you got a link please?

TheDarkKnight · 23/04/2011 15:28

I can't understand how you can allow food supplies to dwindle to nothing tbh. It's only sensible to keep some tinned/dry food for emergencies, it only takes one online shop to get a reasonable supply in and then you can just top it up as needed. Have you never read the zombie thread??

noddyholder · 23/04/2011 15:28

Nonsense if that was the case ds would have been in care
