To have laughed at his comeuppance?

[BatCave]

My MIL thinks I don't look after DH because occasionally I don't have his tea waiting for him when he gets home, and because I don't buy 'treats' (read -junk food) weekly for him. This is bollocks as I cook nice food for him.

Anyway, unbeknown to me, she offered to make his lunch for him yesterday to take to work. (he doesnt live with his parents, we have our own place, children etc). Now, I buy him all sorts of lush stuff to make sandwiches with, he's just bloody lazy.

Anyway she gave him cheese sandwiches, which he loathes. He went hungry all day. I laughed irrationally hard.

oh yes. fantastic.

Nothing is more of a turn off than a mummy's boy. Are you laughing to his face?

YANBU Perfect lesson for him in not biting the hand that feeds you!

And you should also laugh at Mil for not setting a good example of how to look after him.

Fucking hell. I would laugh at him for not making his own lunch.
Do grown men really not make their own sandwich?

MwooooohooooohaaaahaaaaHAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAA!!

hahaha YANBU maybe now the lazy git will make his own sandwiches

Haha serves him right. id have laughed in his face.

Did he say anything to his mum about it? Id loved to have seen her reaction too. Her poor mummys boy starving all day.

Oh yes I laughed straight to his face, I'm still smirking to myself thinking about it.

His complaining text to me was replied with "Serves you bloody right. You're a grown man!"

I despair with MIL, her idea of a decent meal consists of Greggs and fruit shoots , she means well, he does need to cut the apron strings though.

My MIL once told me I didnt feed my DH properly!

This was based on the fact she came food shopping with me when I was approx 34 weeks pregnant with DS1, and was still working full time (9am-7pm)
Yes we did have frozen fish and meat, but there was an awfull lot more fresh than frozen..

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

My MiL is ok about the food thing, thank-god. But we don't talk about laundry... oh no! Stand-up fights could ensue.

YAsooooooNBU! Bwah ha ha ha!

I would laugh till I wee'd (sadly doesn't take long these days) and then thank MIL for showing exactly how insanely fabulous you are

I don't quite get the scorn towards mil's on here.

Is it a defence mechanism or something? My ex didn't like my mum, I'm glad I kept our relationship healthy, best friend a man can have is his mum.

She makes me tea twice a week, and lovely it is too.

Mil's of the future be careful.

Perhaps its because this mil feel the need to put down the OP. People generally don't like people who do that.
In regards to your relationship - there is a difference between your ex not liking your mum and your mum being a interfering harpie, who your ex doesn't like

It's not all mils, some are lovely, it's just OUR mils.

My ex's mother berated me for not making his sandwiches because all I was doing was looking after twins all day and he was working

She is fine from a distance but unfortunately, I had to live with her for 16 years.

OP, I love that he got his just desserts (but no lunch).

Oh and yes I would have laughed in both their faces. My mil would not dream of commenting on how we choose to live. She accepts we are adults and can organise ourselves. She also accepts dh is an adult and can look after himself. And if he wasn't happy with our life, she knows he would say. As would I.

Crafty bugger!!!

Serves him right for the cunningness.

And now he'll have to make an excuse with mummy to not make his lunch again.

Mmmmmmwwwwwaaaaahhhhhhahahahah

YADNBU

Ha!
My DH does all the cooking in our house. MIL is proud that she reared a proper man! (Ironically neither of his sisters can cook!)

That's hilarious. YANBU to have laughed at him, I would have too.

My dh makes his own lunch, but if I make a dinner, and there are left overs, he takes them to work. And his colleagues salivate
Over his food.

I'm glad my dh isn't a mummies boy though.

I reckon you can smug it out all w'end

Huansagain - no scorn to my mil here, in fact I specifically said she means well. We get on great and generally I count myself lucky! It is very berating to be told you aren't 'doing your job properly' (I paraphrase) though.

And, besides I am was laughing at DH.

Strange, you would have thought his mum would have known / remembered he hates cheese (unless it's a recent thing).

Nuckin, that's what I thought too. Not a very thoughtful mother, eh...

No scorn here either..
Just stating facts..

..As she saw it from one shopping trip

Thank you for sharing OP! DH and I are both laughing ourselves silly here!

YANBU It'll teach him to make his own in future
