Should I LTB?

DP and I both went to bed at 11pm, except I've been up half the night with a teething 15 week old who's mainly breastfed and he can sleep through anything; he's actually never woken up because of being disturbed by her for more than 10 seconds since she was born, which I'm happy about as it means he's rested for work.

DP works in a rehabilitation care home 8-4 Monday-Thursday and then 8-8 Saturday/Sunday, where he gets all meals as there's more than 4 fully functioning kitchens.

He ate the last bowl of cereal this morning. My cereal. When he has a 'second' breakfast at work when he gets there. All I've had is a ruddy banana and some coffee; I was really looking forward to my crunchy but clusters. He left enough milk for a bowl of cereal to spite me, though. Should I LTB?

Buy more cereal. It'll be cheaper.

Give him one more chance to come home with a large box of cereal and box of chocolates, and tell him he's on cooking duty tonight. If he fails to deliver in any way, then LTB.

Or next time you're running low, leave just enough for one bowl but hide the milk

CarbeDiem · 17/03/2015 09:51

It'll be less stressful than LTB to just buy extra cereal next time (and hide it somewhere only you know).
Possibly suggest some therapy for his greedy selfish behaviour though :)

Is this supposed to be lighthearted? Or are you seriously saying that you would consider LTB because he has eaten your cereal?

OhMjh · 17/03/2015 09:57

It's most definitely light hearted. He may be an inconsiderate cereal eater but he's an absolute gem otherwise Smile

Perhaps he left some milk so that you could have a cuppa rather than to spite you? Or because he couldn't fit all the milk in the bowl because it was overflowing with two portions of crunchy but clusters mmmm... Wink

Either way, he's been a selfish bugger not considering your brekky, but could you perhaps have some toast rather than divorcing him?!

PilchardPrincess · 17/03/2015 10:00

Erm honestly? I'd tell him that I was really pissed off that he ate the last bowl of cereal that he knew I was looking forward to, especially given that he gets a (cooked?) breakfast at work.

Clearly he needs to buy more cereal on his way home from work today and apologise and not do it again.

As an aside you lives sound like very long hours / hard work and so why don't you do something extra-nice together this Friday when he's off Smile

OhMjh · 17/03/2015 10:00

Oh god, but clusters really was a very unfortunate mistake..see, I'm cereal deprived and cannot think straight! Wink

I'd be well pissed off. Food disappointment is galling.

FernGullysWoollyPully · 17/03/2015 10:11

Sorry about your cereal deprivation Flowers

I'd wipe his toothbrush round the lav and watch him brush his teeth with it. Then I'd LTB Grin

namechangeafternamechange · 17/03/2015 10:20

Ah, my apologies Blush

When he gets back go out & buy yourself some fish & chips, don't get him any, eat them in front of him, don't allow him to even pinch 1 chip. To me that is pure torture.
