to never make myself a drink if DH is in the house?

[Reality]

I simply tap my nails on my glass or mug and he refills it for me.

Or if my nails aren't up to the job I say 'ding ding'.

That's normal, right?

AIBU?

Are you Threesy or Eating from the other thread?

What if he is on the loo?

If he's on the loo I'll wait for him to finish, and wash his hands, obvs.

Drinks taste nicer when they're made for you

What's the other thread?

YABU

You need to get a bell to make sure he can hear you from other rooms too

If your nails aren't up to the job I suggest a trip to S&B for nail care advice

I do this too - i will actually make him a cup of tea but don't bother to make my own as it wont taste right But i will get him to get drinks for me - and he does it! Quite happy to make tea for myself when he's out though

I'm a nibbler, Greenhill. I grow them all lovely and long and then chew them down again. So sometimes they are long and tappable, and sometimes not.

Oh yes, I'll happily make his tea in return. He only has one mug in the morning though and I'm not often up when he has it and he brings me up a coffee.

YABU, you need to get him to do a manicure for you as well. Why should you have to do it yourself?

My dp makes me a coffee and brings it up when he leaves for work at 6.30.

I heat it up in the microwave when I get up (a good few hours later).

I do lots of things for him though.

My dh does this he shakes his empty glass at me to be refilled. We reverse roles when the vodka is involved though

YABU if you are in the house when he makes it.

DP makes me a cup and drives it to my workplace an hour away. I don't want to spend my short lunch hour preparing my own beverages!

He can make me one when he's picked me up from work though, once he's washed my hair and put my slippers on.

LTB if no biscuit.

My MIL will never pour herself a glass of wine, and I do mean never. She'll sit and sigh until someone else does! DH and I think FIL thinks this is very good because she can pack it away when offered

Crikey only just found this thread, shrugged if you're mentioning me in reference to another thread, does this mean I'm now famous?

reality You need to get him to sort himself out, if he needs to be informed, either with nail tapping or a verbal prompt, that the glass/cup is empty he's already slacking

If this thread was on one of those lads web forums with the roles reversed it would be unacceptable.
In fact I think it's unacceptable as it is.

Well, it's fine if he's happy with the arrangement. Largely that's how it works in our house. I'm happy with it (as the H) - if I wasn't I'd say something about it.

Oh teach me! How do I get the drinks service from my DH? Is the first step growing my nails or buying a bell???

You can get a handbell app for your iPhone. V useful.

I take it I've missed the joke?

I know someone who, if she is hungry, will shout at you until you give her something to eat. If she's not happy with what you've given her, she'll just give you a look and walk off.

If the door is closed, she'll demand that someone open it for her.

If you sit on a seat she wants to sit on, she'll glare at you until you move.

That person is my cat definitely the most entitled 'person' I know!

ooops wrong thread...

Cats have the right idea.
