5 weeks ago my DC was born. When I found out I was completely shock we were not planning on having children let alone twins and DH was also planning to get a vasectomy so huge shock. But anyway, today i dropped my DC of at there clubs as I have been under stress the babies won't sleep for more than 2.5 hours. I was to tired to make breakfast so I bought my DC Gregg breakfast anyway at DC clubs i was frowned upon from doing this and got a earful from DH saying how i am a lazy chav and how i am not respecting him WTH? I think it because I didn't make him breakfast and because i told him he had to iron his own clothes. [c]

Would it be OK to buy my three day old grandson a McDonald's Big Mac for lunch tomorrow, when I look after him for the day while my daughter goes to her pole dancing class? And is it still OK to add an ounce of gin in his formula, just in case he's starting teething?

where does the snip and ironing come in?

steff13 · 19/01/2014 00:55

I don't know what a Gregg's breakfast is, but I'm going to assume that it would be similar to getting an egg McMuffin at McDonald's. It's not a great choice, but sometimes you're in a hurry, and I think it's ok every once in a while.

Were you surprised at the pregnancy with the twins, or the actual birth of the twins?

DelightedIAm · 19/01/2014 01:00

Look if he had a go at you for giving the children a one off fast food breakfast then he is being unreasonable, regardless of you having 5wo twins or not. He is also unreasonable for the "Chav" comments. He is telling you that you are out of order for not making him breakfast and not doing the ironing as well? He sounds like a bit of a knob if that is the case.

Go and post in relationships or chat, don't use a mobile or device with rubbish predictive text, think through your post and keep away from aibu if you are new to mn!

Oh for crying out loud it was not my 5 week old twins who had greggs breakfast it was my older DC. And my older DC were planned but my twins were not DH was expecting to get a vasectomy but unfortunately I had the twins before that. I am not foolish to buy my babies greggs and English is not my first language FFS!Angry

Why did your husband not give your dc breakfast? If he is so worried about his standing in the community? Although I fail to see how having to stop at a Greggs on the way to clubs could have taken less time than giving your dc a banana or a slice of toast to eat in the car? Otherwise, give yourself a break. If I saw you with 5 week old twins dropping off other children at a weekend morning activity, I'd think you were Wonder Woman - if I realised your children were actually eating as well, I'd faint dead away!

Don't worry about it love. A Gregg's breakfast once in a while will do no harm. Peace out :)

KareKare · 19/01/2014 01:26

We'll it is chavvy to buy from Gregg's as MN will kindly tell you.

You should have bought them some Viennoiserie from Nero's so as not to offend your husband's sensibilities.

SpagBogs · 19/01/2014 01:28

We tend not to have cereal in the house as 2 of my DC are lactose intolerant

MaccyD's do a hearty breakfast.

So I'm told.

SpagBogs · 19/01/2014 01:34

Well IMO they're all as chavvy as each other and right now i could not care less with the amount of pain and stress i am in.

Tell your dh to get the snip after he has made the dc breakfast and had a word with himself about his use of derogatory language and perpetuation of an outmoded class system.

Then hand him the twins. say surprise...and walk out for the day and have a break.

5w old twins god love you.

AmIthatWintry · 19/01/2014 01:58

oooh Do Gregg's do breakfasts.

I occasionally have a steak bake at lunchtime, but if I knew they do breakfasts I would be there like a shot

hickorychicken · 19/01/2014 06:52

Whats in a greggs brekkie? Im as chavvy as they come apparently yet ive never seen it, am i missing out? Grin

Jinty64 · 19/01/2014 07:11

I hope your DH has had his vasectomy now. It will be better for everyone.

Mumof3xx · 19/01/2014 07:12

I think it's bacon rolls etc

Cinnamon2013 · 19/01/2014 07:23

What a really horrible, nasty, snobbish bunch of replies to a woman struggling to care for her young babies with what sounds like not enough support from her partner. Is this really what mumsnet is about gets coat Most of these replies show classism at their worst, or are just gratuitously bitchy. Blaming a woman for getting pregnant without planning it also seems pretty unkind and unnecessary.

Cinnamon2013 · 19/01/2014 07:26

For what it's worth, if you are managing to get older DC to activities while getting less than three hours sleep and caring for twins, I take my hat off to you - and if love yo see some of the less kind posters here give that a try

Catsize · 19/01/2014 07:34

What was your DH doing during this time? Could he have helped? What is a Gregg's breakfast anyway?

Catsize · 19/01/2014 07:35

And I agree with Cinammon.

saintlyjimjams · 19/01/2014 07:39

Your husband is being an arse

baskingseals · 19/01/2014 07:41

Spag, don't worry about the Gregg's breakfast in the great scheme of things it really doesn't matter.
Hope you are getting some support. Have you got good family and friends?
Many congratulations on the birth of your babies.
