Dh and Nacho burgers

Hi

Dh has worked overtime today 8am till 7pm. He picked ds up on way home from grandparents and called me to say ds had tea up there what was I doing for tea?

I had dd all.day and we are out of bread and milk so I told him to go to the shop and get what he wanted for tea, anything except pizza. All I have had to eat today is two sandwiches, im so hungry I want food.

Dh has come back with a pack of four nacho burgers. We have nothing else as the bread one loaf is for pack lunch and breakfast and lunches so I have one nacho burger for tea.

AIBU to be upset and to give my burger to dd and go to bed in a huff with dh?

(dh also got one loaf and a 2pt of milk as well as the pack of nacho burgers)

You are coming out of this sounding quite lazy and very unreasonable

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 12/06/2013 20:45

Why can't you have some toast? You can't possibly need all that bread for tomorrows lunches?

... and yes YABU - he's had a long day, picked DS up, gone to the shop, bought something quick & easy for dinner and now you are banging on at him and chucking a strop?? If you want something specific, ask for it.

Why couldn't you have gone to the shops earlier?

squeakytoy · 12/06/2013 20:46

right, so you have been out of the house plenty today.. why didnt you just nip into the shop? Confused

QuintessentialOldDear · 12/06/2013 20:46

... and yet you have not managed to drop by at a shop and get food for tea....

catgirl1976 · 12/06/2013 20:46

If it is what McNew linked to, it does come with a bun.

But please let it not be that

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 12/06/2013 20:46

So DD isn't that ill.

You must have passed plenty of shops today.

??

velvetysquirrel · 12/06/2013 20:46

Another one who is wondering what a Nacho burger is.....I'm intrigued.

MissStrawberry · 12/06/2013 20:46

You told him to "get what he wanted for tea." You did not say can you get tea for all of us please.

velvetspoon · 12/06/2013 20:47

But why couldn't you have nipped to the shop on one of those various trips? Confused You only needed bread, milk and something for dinner...why was it down to your DH?

Floggingmolly · 12/06/2013 20:47

He worked from 8 to 7 and you inform him he has to bring in his own dinner??
Then throw a hissy fit when, despite telling him he can have whatever he wants (big of you!), what he wanted wasn't what you wanted...
Grow up.

MalcolmTuckersMum · 12/06/2013 20:47

WTF is a nacho burger? I'm not sure if you are U or NU really. U I think. And that is as much of my time as this other-wordly incident is getting.

Mintyy · 12/06/2013 20:48

I only asked if your dd was ill because I thought that might be a reason why you couldn't get out of the house.

I would have been happy if he had got chips or expressed rice or a micro meal!

He also managed to let the ATM swallow the bank card and then locked the pin on another on Friday so im still waiting for new cards to come thru for the joint account so I dont have a bank card to go shopping myself. He has managed to unlock his bank card so used that to pay for shopping. So im stuck at home with no money and no food and he is working over time and dd sleeped 4pm till 6pm.

But that's not all he has done all day. He has been at work!

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 12/06/2013 20:49

In my head, a nacho burger is a burger made of crushed up nachos and cheese. Which can't be right and sounds vile.

McNewPants2013 · 12/06/2013 20:50

You lucky he went, because I could say 100% if I have been off work all day, while he did a 11 hour shift plus travelling he would not have gone and I would have had to go out (unless I had a good reason like being ill or looking after ill children or waiting in for a repair to be done)

catgirl1976 · 12/06/2013 20:50

Is it this ?

That looks nicer than the Rustlers abomination

Floggingmolly · 12/06/2013 20:51

You took your dd to a (play?) group, but because of her temperature you couldn't leave the house to go to the shops?

You sound very, very confused.

MissStrawberry · 12/06/2013 20:51

How did you run out of food? Have you got nothing else in the house? What is the baby going to have for breakfast?

ScooseIsLoose · 12/06/2013 20:51

How did you pay for the online shopping ?

HeySoulSister · 12/06/2013 20:52

What is expressed rice?

You need to be better organised I think!

squeakytoy · 12/06/2013 20:52

You could have borrowed a tenner from the GP..

I just think you are being bloody unreasonable.

Goodadvice1980 · 12/06/2013 20:52

Blimey OP, you sound like hard work! Your poor DH.

Why not just order a takeaway for tonight??

bobthebear · 12/06/2013 20:52

I would have been happy if he had got chips or expressed rice or a micro meal! So why didn't you tell him to get one of those things then!?

And how did you pay for your online shopping if you had no card?

TigOldBitties · 12/06/2013 20:52

Why don't you just order a takeaway if your unhappy with the nacho burgers?
