To be fuming that DD aged 6 has heard DH using the F word at me?

He muttered "for fuck's sake" under his breath because I dared to suggest heating the pan before cooking the fajitas. She says he does it a lot and thinks she can't hear him .... nice.

Have asked him about it, not in front of DD and he snapped "sorry!" at me. Said he doesn't do it all the time at all. I don't think I believe him.

Happy Friday everyone. He's drinking my congratulatory prosecco too (promotion.) feel like snatching it off him.

Please feel free to tell me IABU or he's had a bad day or something ... Feel like grabbing the rest of the prosecco and locking myself in the bathroom! Grrrrrrr.

"I am glad he was cooking tea but I certainly don't need to feel grateful - pipe down little woman, the man is doing his best type stuff really gets my goat!"

Good grief, if that's directed at me, that's not what I said at all.

Offer suggestions if you want, he takes them up or not as he wants.

Don't suggest the same thing over & over(maybe this was the first time that you said it)

No he shouldn't have sworn, or snapped.

But there's no need to get so pissy because he didn't do it your way!

The thing is though, nearly every time I cook, (and in all honesty, I do it so little, DH probably is grateful when I cook, not sure why it needs to be a man/woman thing or a "pipe down little woman, the man is doing his best type stuff ") he has to make some comment on how I could do it better, or do it his way. Which is exactly why I cook so rarely I told him years ago he could get lost and do most of the cooking if he thought he was so much better at it than me.

And, yes in everything else, we have a very respectful relationship, work together, help each other etc, there is just something about him standing behind me when I am preparing food, saying "oh heat the pan, add some more spices, do this" etc that riles me up, and I have probably told him to "Fuck off" before.
