to hate the way dh uses

[oxfordcomma75]

We when I did something and I when he does.eg we had to resue escaped guinea pig when I did it and I mowed lawn which fair enough he does.
This is especially true when talking to inlaws on phone.
I really think mil in particular thinks I am lazy and this kind of crap doesn't help.

Either i'm still half asleep or this makes no sense

Not sure what you are saying, but sorry you feel sad.

Or when they do the we are pregnant thing?

Mine doesn't do the we thing that thankfully.

OP means she does stuff and then he says 'we' did it and takes half the credit for it. But when he does something he takes all the credit. YANBU, it sounds annoying.

Have you ever pulled him up on this? It would annoy me too, you should talk to him about it.

I think Oxford is saying her husband takes the credit for something she's done.

Cross posted

Ohh, so when you do something, he describes it as 'we' did it, but when he does something, he says 'he' did it? So you never get full credit for things you do on your own?

That would irritate me, yes.

Darn it, I didn't read the other posts that have already explained it, sorry. I'll shut up now.

I know what you mean.

"I did the dishes" when it was him.
"We bathed the kids" when it was me.

Pull him up on it "oh did we - that was the invisible you who helped"

My mil thinks I am lazy as well - i just let it go over my head.

Yes he uses the term we which implies he had some involvement in the task concerned but actually I did it.
I know it's just a word but I find it irritating.
Trivial I know.

It's hard when he does it on the phone though.

My husband does something similar, while he's driving if we get lost/take the wrong turning he says 'WE are lost/WE have taken a wrong turn/WE should have turned left there' then says 'I will do a U turn up here and we'll be back on track/I will go down here instead' it makes me laugh because he only ever does it while driving, but when I told him why I was laughing at him, he didn't realise he was doing it! I then noticed my dad does the same! Explain to him what he does and why it upsets you but remember MIL has probably had it happen to her

Thank you gamerchick I've just re-read the OP after reading yours and it all makes sense now! YANBU oxford I would find that annoying too. If he does it in front of you then pull him up on it. Or start doing it yourself and see how he likes it

Ah so you never get the credit for anything? That would be annoying.. hard to pull him up on the phone unless you shout in the background every time you do it.

If he ever uses the phrase "we gave birth" ltb.

DH uses "I've washed up for you" or "I've hoovered for you".

Really grates my carrot.

I always say "Is that the 'Royal We' you are using?"

If he ever uses the phrase "we gave birth" ltb

Ahh makes sense now.

It annoys me too. DP does this ' we have spent the day cleaning' no i have spent the day cleaning you have played on your damn xbox all day.

Gah DH does this when he wants something done, usually house related eg

'We really ought to ring the builder about those tiles' or 'We really need to sort that rotten door frame out.'

I say 'is that We as in me, or We as in you?'

And then he gets all huffy and says AND SAYS (brace yerselves)

'it doesn't matter who ACTIONS it, it just needs doing.'

I tell you, it's not just my carrot that's grated...

I'd envoke Vic Reeves and say 'You lying bastard' when he did this to be honest.

Exit - "I've done the hoovering for you"?? My teeth would be ground down to stubs!

turtely are you me? He does that too.

The joke is, I am rarely seen with the Hoover.

Like nature, I abhor a vacuum.
