To be upset with 'D'H over his comment?

Sitting in the kitchen discussing neighbour, who has just gone out dressed to the nines. (So no accusations of drip feeding, she's a very toned size eight, I'm a rather wobbly size 18 (but on way down, was a 22) Shock )
'D'H says "her two (boys) will have fun when they get to secondary school, insinuating she's a MILF (which to be fair she probably is!).
AIBU to be offended that he didn't say anything about our DS having the same problem! [buhmm]. This is the man who called his bike Angelina as it was a (I quote) "thing of beauty" (my name is nothing like Angelina).

So, should I leave the bastard, or make him feed me (obviously low fat) chocolate all evening? [bugrin]

He is emptying the dishwasher as I Mumsnet if that helps the jury decide!

YABU he is emptying the dishwasher, what more do you want woman!

gobbledegook1 · 06/04/2012 19:50

Make him feed you chocolate.

amarone · 06/04/2012 19:51

YABU, he's emptying YOUR dishwasher, not hers!

Whateveryousaymustberight · 06/04/2012 19:52

If he's emptying the dishwasher without expecting a medal, he's probably worth keeping. Do you have an appliance you could name Brad? [buwink]

theincredibequeenofwands · 06/04/2012 19:53

Or get yourself several 18 year old toyboys/admirers, that'll show 'im!

[buwink]

I'm sure he meant that her two boys will have fun, whereas your DS will have the awkwardness and embarassment caused by his friends all hanging around, fawning over his hot mother.... [buwink]

catgirl1976 · 06/04/2012 19:57

He might have just meant that "her two boys" will have a lot of "fun" in a sarcastic sense, if he thought your friend dressed a little OTT and would therefore attract attention.

He might have been meaning the way she dressed was a bit tarty and going to cause embarassment for her DCs IYSIM

NagooBunnytail · 06/04/2012 19:58

Clam it's horrible (MotherI'dLiketoFuck) I hate that phrase.

Arion · 06/04/2012 20:00

He is now crowing that victory is his! He may have trouble getting back in the door after doing the bins, with his head swelling so much! [buhmm]

Neighbour is happily married I should add, no worries there (or with DH) [bugrin]

Yes, he empties the dishwasher, does the bins, puts washing on (without being asked) he is a keeper, just has "foot in mouth syndrome" (well known for it with his friends!)

He is suspicious that I'm trying to bias you against him as he's winning! [buwink]

Nagoo I think I luffs you! Of course that's what he meant, how could I have taken it any other way!

Ok, I will pour him a nice big glass of Wine to have when he's emptied the washing machine!

I'm not sure I'd be happy with DH thinking it was OK to make suggestive remarks about the neighbours in front of me.

Does look like he was trying to put you down, and different from saying something about someone famous and unobtainable.

DoomCatsofCognitiveDissonance · 06/04/2012 20:25

What first said.

Also Confused by the dishwasher comments. We don't have a dishwasher, is emptying it some kind of heroic task normal men can only dream of achieving?

Whateveryousaymustberight · 06/04/2012 20:57

It is beyond heroic.[bugrin]

DoomCatsofCognitiveDissonance · 06/04/2012 21:02

Wow! Well, over the last few days DH got up at 4am to pick me up from the airport unannounced, cleaned our place top to bottom, filled the fridge with all my favourite food and cooked me breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has just washed up and got me a glass of wine he remembered to put in to chill.

But rest assured I shall tell him he's a lazy shite since he failed to empty a dishwasher! Grin

Whateveryousaymustberight · 06/04/2012 21:10

Poor you DoomCats; he sounds like a bloody nightmare. [buwink]

lalaland3008 · 06/04/2012 21:12

Some of these threads are making my dp not seem to bad, I'm goin to stop giving him such a hard time. He washes up and cooks and everything.

Regarding the comment I wouldn't worry about it.

DoomCatsofCognitiveDissonance · 06/04/2012 21:15

Jokes aside, mind ... I do think the OP's DH make a pretty vile comment.

ecclesvet · 06/04/2012 21:56

He said the sons would likely get ribbed for having an attractive mother. Doesn't seem vile to me, he's not wrong.

AThingInYourLife · 06/04/2012 22:02

Kind of a scummy, sexist comment.

DoomCatsofCognitiveDissonance · 06/04/2012 22:02

Oh, yes, nothing wrong with suggesting women should be judged on their attractiveness and children should be mocked at school. How silly of me.

ecclesvet · 07/04/2012 10:41

He's not saying it should happen, he's just saying that it probably will.

Mrsjay · 07/04/2012 11:08

buy yourself a [bugrin] and call it brad he will get the message ,
