To think DH could have done grocery shop today?

I've not been well, so instead of carrying on regardless as I usually do, I told DH I really needed a slob out day. Trouble is, he decided to have one too & now kids are hungry. As I didn't do my usual trip to supermarket there's nothing in. AIBU to think that instead of sitting on the sofa watching crap tv with me, he could have done the shop?

I think I'm with What on this one. If OP has been ill then why not ask if there's anything needs doing if he's not aware of anything? I don't think he should be psychic but some thought wouldn't have gone amiss.

That aside, Can you do an online shop instead Oops? Or do it with DH having some input.

That's what I don't get, why he would need telling. If I'm ill dp would just take over. He'd have a look in the fridge and freezer and work out what to have for lunch and dinner, and if that needed him to pop to the shops.

When I say he didn't do the groceries, it's not that I didn't point this out early in the day. Somehow he thinks if I'm having a duvet day then he will have one too.

On a normal weekend he sleeps or dozes in front of the tv all weekend, while I do everything else. If I'm sick, he just does FA again so the kids end up starving, the laundry doesn't get done, there's no shirts ironed, the dog doesn't get walked, etc. He calls this 'spending time with me'.

I got up early yesterday as we had workman coming at 8am, so got him started with a coffee, then picked up dog wee 3x as the dog couldn't go out while workman was using power tools. I also made up packed lunches for DH and YS so they could go to an event YS was competing in. DH gets up, has b'fast, then straight out with YS.

I Rested up for a couple of hours, then did 4x washing& drying, ironed a few shirts & cooked roast dinner (he did buy the food on the way home from event as he thought that would be 'one less thing for me to do - bless his F'g ass!)

Having worked all day at home in the kitchen, he has just gone to sleep at the table, in a 'prayer position'! He is supposed to be getting a second opinion from the GP about his sleep issues as I think there's something wrong with him, but he can't even be bothered to make an appt!

I don't get why he needs telling either, and I'm surprised at the response on this thread.

I always say this, but as a WOHM, I don't seem to get half the allowances that working men get.

I should add at this point that I also work, albeit p-t
