To think hubby should have gone to the shop to buy me chocolate

[onceuponadream2016]

Reasonably lighthearted,

We're currently on calorie controlled diets and therefore have nothing "naughty" in the house. Based on today's activity I actually have some calories left over and had hinted before putting our daughter (3mo) to bed that he might go and buy me a choccie bar from the corner shop (we have two within a short walking distance) - he claims the first he heard of it was when I came downstairs an hour and a half later when I "demanded" he go buy me chocolate.

Our daughter is BF (my calorie allowance reflects this) and is fed when she wakes therefore meaning I'm reluctant to go anywhere myself as if she wakes it'll take her longer to resettle if I'm not there. Husband doesn't see why he should go as "it's only round the corner" and she "doesn't normally wake at this time anyway"

I'll add that he's great in every other way, helps out with daughter without question, shares cooking and cleaning etc
So AIBU to expect him to go buy me chocolate ??

In any case the shops have since shut and I'm sat eating 25g of unsatisfying rainbow buttons that have been sat in the cupboard since Halloween... Bah

Fucking hell

Haha! Fair points all round, yeah might have been a bit of laziness too but in my defence had just spent a fair bit of time settling little one! And he did have his own calories left so I wouldn't have been eating forbidden food in front of him.

Meanwhile hubby (titter !) is very happy that he's been mumsnet vindicated

I'll go buy my own chocolate next time!

Thanks all! Goodnight !

I would've been desperate to have a 5 minute walk by myself when my daughter was 3 months.
Yabu. And very selfish.

Blimey, mums are grateful for seats and glasses of water when breast feeding in cafés but are told to toughen up when at home! If it was only around the corner and you were settling baby, why couldn't he have gone? What was he doing? If he was sitting on his arse and you were settling baby then it would have been nice of him to do it. He's had his full allowance, so you're not supposed to have a treat? He could have cut back and had one too. may have had too much wine and may possibly be getting too involved in threads

Er...he had calories left!?!??

Why does breastfeeding = being treated like a princess?

Hubby? HUBBY?

YABU for that alone.

Can you imagine a man writing this post.

""Can you imagine a man writing this post.""

Not really, seeing that it involves being busy because the OP is BF.

HIBVU.
Any well trained DH has access to secret, well-hidden emergency chocolate supplies 24/7 so there should have been no need for him to leave the house.
That's just shoddy DH-ery.

Waaaah 'hubby'.

OP, next time don't hint - ask. It makes life about a million times easier.

If you are on a diet and have calories left isn't that a good thing as you will burn up more fat? You obviously weren't hungry or would have eaten real food. All seems a bit silly to me. You aren't exactly changing your eating habits and won't even walk round the corner

YABU. My DP would do it because he's just like that, but if he said no I'd accept it and go get it myself or go without. It would have been a nice thing to do for someone but not something he 'should' have done.
