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)

All processed rubbish that you mention. If bf you need a proper diet, as I'm sure you know!

McNewPants2013 · 12/06/2013 20:53

I can't believe there is nothing in your fridge, freezer or cupboards.

Figgygal · 12/06/2013 20:53

Air have some toast go to bed and have a nice rest. He has been working all say though and a man they are useless at shopping Grin

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 12/06/2013 20:54

I don't need my card to order shopping, my details are stored to my account. I just enter a password.

MalcolmTuckersMum · 12/06/2013 20:54

Sorry. Just came back to throw up at the very idea of that burger. Barrrf-huuuurph. As you were.

MissStrawberry · 12/06/2013 20:55

This doesn't sound right. This isn't about nachos burgers.

bobthebear · 12/06/2013 20:55

Not even the security code chicken? I've never seen that before (genuinely, I'm not being sarcastic!!)

LeaveTheBastid · 12/06/2013 20:55

Stop being a bloody brat, eat the burger and get over yourself. He did exactly what you told him to.

In fact no, leave your burger and go to bed in a huff as you suggested, you'll be doing him a favour.

My husband had a McDonalds burger with nachos in it at the weekend. Think it was Arizona Nacho Grande with a beef patty topped with "nacho-style" sauce, shredded lettuce, pepperoni , nacho chips and cheese with peppers, on a sesame bun. (Cut and paste. I didn't sit and type all that out.)

catgirl1976 · 12/06/2013 20:56

I think the OP is getting a bit of a hard time

She is BU, but I am U when I am hungry

Although do you really not have a tin of beans or a potato or half a bag of frozen peas or something that you could have used

MommyBird · 12/06/2013 20:56

If i said to my OH 'get whatever you want for tea' i know he'd come back with a BBQ chicken pizza with everymeat going..and he'd assume we'd already eaten.
If i said 'get US something for tea..like a cooked chicken and i'll put some jackets in' then he'd assume we havnt eaten.

But. he has been at work ALL day, and worked over time which you knew as you arranged for him to pick up ds. so i'd of atleast done something quick for him..or i'd of fed the kids and ordered a take away!

HibiscusIsland · 12/06/2013 20:56

Ooops sorry. Not that one then

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 12/06/2013 20:57

Nope, bob, just my account password. I shop online with Sainsburys. I think the bank asked for a security code the first couple of times, but now it's automatic.

velvetspoon · 12/06/2013 20:58

Those burgers are very filling, one with a 'side' would definitely be enough for most people.

I don't get why you don't have any cash in the house (as said, couldn't you have borrowed £10 from gps, or gone to the bank while it was open and got some money out with ID - I've had to do that when I lost my card before now)- what if you needed money for an emergency?

McNewPants2013 · 12/06/2013 21:00

I know my 3 number off the back of my card also can type the long card number without looking at my card.

ToomuchIsBackOnBootcamp · 12/06/2013 21:00

Yes yabu. He's worked an 11 hour day, and got stuff from the shop. If there was something nice you wanted, you need to SAY it, not expect him to be a mind reader after a long day.

JaquelineHyde · 12/06/2013 21:01

Jesus it sounds like fun in your house!

Do you have nothing in the cupboard at all?

Eggs
Soup
Potatoe
Beans/Spaghetti

LeGavrOrf · 12/06/2013 21:02

Oh fair enough if you didn't have cash in the house.

Can understand being tired, hungry and pissed off. I would just eat the bean burger and go to bed.

AnAirOfHope · 12/06/2013 21:04

You are being U. Those veggie nacho burgers are very nice. One of those, something (anything?) from freezer or tins would make an OK meal. Do you seriously not have any rice or pasta in the house? Or any frozen peas? Tinned sweet corn? A slice of bread?

But seeing as you are hungry ill let you off no get extremely unreasonable if I've not eaten and something doesn't go to plan.

VinegarDrinker · 12/06/2013 21:06

Oooh those burgers are actually really nice

They are pretty filling, too. Wouldn't be good in bread though.

Do you really not have any potatoes, rice, pasta or any frozen carbs? Or baked beans? Spaghetti hoops? The arse end of a carrot? Eggs? Or in fact any food at all?

Goodadvice1980 · 12/06/2013 21:07

Why couldn't the gps give you something for their cupboards to tide you over tonight?

You sound like a right martyr!

LeGavrOrf · 12/06/2013 21:07

I can understand you being pissed off. XP lost his card once, borrowed mine and then promptly entered the wrong pin so locked the card. On a Saturday night, I was furious.

Sounds as if you have had a shite day, tired and hungry and understandably thinking FUCK IT.

He is probably feeling pretty grim as well.

Christ, have you got any wine and fags in the house. Grin
