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

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

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

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!).

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

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

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

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.

YABU. You need one of these:

My sister was getting her baby out the bath and shouted to her bf to bring her aveeno (as in cream) and he appeared with wine
