And to then phone the landline when he doesn't answer his mobile?

Not at all. When I was younger my boyfriend at the time's Mum used to sit in the lounge & call the house phone from her mobile, knowing that my bf would run down the stairs to answer it in the kitchen. At which point she'd ask him to make her a cup of tea, since he was standing by the kettle.

She was some Woman. I was 15 at the time and partly terrified of her, partly in awe of her.

Perfectly reasonable behaviour - I usually order a backrub or similar as well.

YABU. You should have got him to deliver chocolates at the same time.

I text my eldest to tell her stuff rather than bellowing (she has headphones on 90% of the time) or going into her fetid bedroom.

Well, I don't drink tea.

But I rarely get my own pepsi max from the fridge or find the missing remote control.



It's not much to ask really, is it? I cook for them and stuff.

I ring the (adult) kids from the garden to bring me a cup of tea. Rang my daughter up from the garden a few weeks ago to come ana help me up as I had fallen over (and broken my arm!).

Five! Shit you must never make tea. I am a rookie. One three month old.

I do this a lot.

I can be very lazy.

Best thing about being a mum is that sometimes I can call in my children to get them to pass me something. Even better that I have five of them and can rotate so none of them can accuse me of treating them like slaves Grin

Ha ha Smile I text DH about 15 mins ago from the bath asking for more wine! We exchanged a few texts and then he appeared with wine. I love modern technology, much nicer than yelling Grin

I did text, but not sure of delivery, so called mobile. No answer, left vm. Messaged on Fb in case he was on computer and then finally called the landline. Don't you love modern communication?
Wine delivered. Baby still asleep.
Result.
And DP may get his oats laterWink

Are you bollocks - what's the point of living in 2015 if you can't enjoy the perks.

It's a shame about the baby but it'll go back to sleep eventually and your dh will learn to keep an eye on his phone next time Wink

YANBU I use messenger though as DH gets notifications from that so can't ignore me, I often ask for drinks etc, I sometimes msg him saying that I am in bed and how much I want him to join me, then I just ask him to turn the tv down/ turn landing light off etc Blush

YABU. You should sack him for not having covered this dilemma covered without you having to ask.

YABU for even thinking of having to ask.
