Grrrr no dinner

[inlovewithhubby]

I've been away with the kids at my folks for a few days. Hubby has been home alone, admittedly working and had a big work day today but had most of a weekend day to himself plus evenings out having beers while we've been gone, which I encourage. However, I back this afternoon to no food, no bread for kids packed lunches (they have an activity day tomorrow which to be fair he wouldn't know about) and nothing planned for dinner for us. We aren't an 'open the fridge and see what's there' family. I plan nice dinners every evening (I work far fewer hours than him so I see that as my job), often different meals from kids primarily because he's a fussy bastard (i say that with love) . Aibu to expect that he'd at least have planned dinner for the evening we come home?

Sitting in supermarket car park seething (I do not say this with love). Am also on period so could well be being unreasonable but I don't think i am?

He hates chicken. Might buy chicken.

He's probably not thought as you normally see to it. I agree he should've checked the staples, but tbh with the meal, most people have stuff in the freezer they can shove in the oven.
You're having a takeaway, enjoy it and be pleased to see each other.

which is my whole beef

You had a whole beef? Monumental drip feed, OP.

YABVVVVVU

{grin}

fail

Oh my god, waiting for a takeaway (via football training, I am sooooo a nice wife) I could KILL a whole beef!

No wonder so many marriages fail when people have such unrealistic expectations. How on earth was somebody to know they hadn't eaten on the journey or before they left. And such a fuss about nothing at all except a lack of communication and planning. Not saying I'm perfect I'm certainly not and neither is my DH. But good grief what a fuss about nothing.

Errr, because we don't tend to eat lunch after 2pm (when we set off) or dinner before 6pm (when we arrived). He knew we would be eating here, and by his own admittance he just hadn't got his head out of his arse (or his arse out of the pub) long enough to realise his family was coming home to an empty cupboard and no dinner plans. Complete lack of thought. That's not how we usually work as a family, and certainly not the treatment he's used to in return.

As it happens he has apologised and accepted that he was thoughtless and should have got stuff in for our return. So he obviously doesn't think it's quite the overreaction you do Viviennemary.

Not usually on his radar? How did he think the wife was going to cook their tea, with no food and being that she was travelling back? Frying eggs that she stole from a nearby chicken on the engine of the car?
