to think he was being greedy/selfish

Ok so this may seem trivial but I guess it is part of a bigger picture.
We have 2 primary aged dc, a toddler and a 4 month old.
Idh's parents have been poorly lately so dh and ds1were staying with them tonight and tomorrow night. All fine. Dh had asked me to drop ds1 round which I was happy to do. Dh suggested getting pizza so I said I would have same as 3dc who would be eating.
Dh order 2 pizzas. 1 for him and 1 for me and dc.
Aibu to think this was mean.
Coupled with ds1 asking for a frothy coffe and dh saying he could have it once we left. Now this lzst one was about him not wanting to make one for ds2 but I found it rude.

It is a bit shit of him to get himself a whole pizza and lump you in with 'the children' as though you're a side thought, pretending that when you said 'I'll have what the DC have' meant 'I'll share with the DC'.

How would he react to you ordering yourself a pizza and another one for him and the children?

You and him sharing one and the children the other would be fairer.

Did you not say it at the time and claim your rightful half of 'his' pizza?

If not, why not?

Yanbu, what did you say in response to this? Is he always like this?

chocolatedonut · 06/09/2014 01:13

So 1 pizza 2 share between yourself and 2/3 children?

fluffyduffydoo · 06/09/2014 01:15

There's lots going here

You have 4 children and your DH wanted one for himself and the other shared between 4 people (you and the children old enough to eat pizza)

That's quite unthoughtful

I did say something at the time and he said he was really hungry and dc1 would probably have some of his. Which tbh he did in the end.
Ds1 is clearly a favourite with mil and sometimes I wonder if this rubs off on dh when there.
Or maybe he is saying I need to lose weight!

We have had some previous issues where he seems happy for him to spend money doing a hobby he loves with ds but is less enthusiastic when I want to do same. Ie my parents paid for a holiday for me and dc and he was peeved when I ordered euros for spending money as he wasn't benefiting.
Also tends to buy more of stuff he likes when shopping which he claims is reasonable as he doesn't shop much.

O and I couldn't claim half of his pizza as I do not like the toppings he chooses. Still no one starved.
