To make DH make all the coffees?

I drink A LOT of coffee, starting from the one DH brings me in bed at 6.30am. Obvs when he's at work during the day I make my own but when he's home I ask him to make all my drinks for me. It's just nicer to drink a hot drink that's been made for you.

For balance I do make him the odd cup of tea but then he only ever has one occasionally.

He's just grumbled slightly at making me one just now and I replied that it's the basic foundation of our marriage. There are certain things I always do for him, and his job is to keep me supplied with coffees.

AIBU?

I'm with you on this one StuRedman! My utterly wonderful DH makes me tea in bed every weekday and also makes me tea a lot when he's around as he knows I value it more than flowers (was going to say chocolates, but that's a lie!) and diamonds. It just does taste nicer if someone makes it for you, especially if they make it with affection. HOWEVER on weekends, I have to make him two teas first thing if I'm around - and that's non-negotiable, no matter how much I beg him to give me a special concession and make it for me instead! Tea is the glue that binds our family together and every time I receive a cup of tea I make sure my DH knows how much it is appreciated. I really do think it's the loveliest thing he could do for me on a daily basis and so I never take it for granted. I think if you'd like your tea privileges to continue you simply need to show and say how much it means to you.
