to wonder why I bother???

Fully prepared that I'm going to get flamed, but it's worth it to have a rant!

DD is 15 months. I've always cooked for her because jars / pouches are so expensive and luckily she's a good eater, so I can just give her what I'm having.

We get ice-creams at the park, she can eat her weight in biscuits at nanny's house, doesn't bother me. If she's eating healthy at home and nursery, then it balances out.

I was working in the garden so DH (who is perfectly capable) gave her lunch and put her to bed. When I asked what she had he said chicken soup. I don't eat meat so I know there's none in the freezer.

Then the penny drops. You mean tinned chicken soup?? He didn't see the problem. I called him a cunt. He said that wasn't very nice.

I'm fully away it's not going to kill her, but AIBU to wonder WHY DO I BLOODY BOTHER??

A year of cooking, freezing, labelling... I should have saved myself the bother and stocked up on tinned soup and super noodles Hmm

1 tin of soup, she'll survive.

I should have saved myself the bother and stocked up on tinned soup and super noodles hmm wtf?

Seriously chill out

HallowedMimic · 17/09/2016 12:19

You called him a cunt because he gave his child a bit of tinned soup!?

If you are that precious about it, do all the feeding yourself.

LumpyMcBentface · 17/09/2016 12:19

I actually can't get over you calling your Dh a cunt for this. Are you often abusive?

JulietteL · 17/09/2016 12:20
Biscuit

Either this is a wind-up, or you're completely nuts.

maras2 · 17/09/2016 12:20

You called him that? Shock Very nasty and YABVU.

peppercold · 17/09/2016 12:20

You called him a cunt for giving your dd chicken soup from a tin? Shock

AgentProvocateur · 17/09/2016 12:20

Hmm Yes, what a cunt, feeding his daughter.

Msqueen33 · 17/09/2016 12:21

Wow! Just wow! It's one tin of soup! One! You realise calling him a cunt for this is completely insane?!

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 17/09/2016 12:21

Do you suffer from anxiety?

Eatthecake · 17/09/2016 12:21

You called your DH a cunt for giving a tin of soup? Way OTT!

I should have saved myself the bother and stocked up on tinned soup and super noodles hmm what? Please tell me you aren't really being that dramatic over a tin of soup!

It's a tin of fucking soup. A tin of soup. 1 tin of soup.

Chilli the fuck out love! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 17/09/2016 12:22

And why do you have it in the house is no ones allowed to eat it?

TamaraHiddlestoned · 17/09/2016 12:22

Ridiculous.

Notfastjustfurious · 17/09/2016 12:23

Wow what a charmer you are, and you kiss your dd with that mouth!

Bailey101 · 17/09/2016 12:23

I ate plenty tins of soup growing up and not only did I make to adulthood just fine, if someone had called my mother a cunt for that they'd have been bounced out the front door quicker then you blink.

JacobFryesTopHatLackey · 17/09/2016 12:23

It's chicken soup, not a hash brownie. Hmm

ayeokthen · 17/09/2016 12:23

I'm not convinced this is real, but if it is to call your DH a cunt is absolutely disgusting.

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe · 17/09/2016 12:23

I must be a major cunt, my dc had tinned tomato soup with bacon sandwiches for tea last night.

Why do you have tinned soup in the house if you think it's the work of the devil so bad op?

raspberrysuicide · 17/09/2016 12:23

But you don't care that she has ice cream and eats her own body weight in biscuits!

WatchingFromTheWings · 17/09/2016 12:24
Hmm

Seriously??? YABVVVU. And nasty with it.

DelphiniumBlue · 17/09/2016 12:26

Actually I understand what you mean, and it really pisses me off when guys do this. Nip it in the bud now or you will be moaning like me 25 years later!
I still cook most of our food, if I'm not able to for whatever reason Ds2 takes over. He is able to produce a healthy meal out of whatever ingredients are there/ need to be used up. So why can't DH do it? If he's doing dinner, its sausages or b acon sarnies, or worse still, takeaway!
Make a fuss now, it's totally not fair that he gets the easy option!

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 17/09/2016 12:26

Wow. There are women on here advised to LTB because he called them a cunt, and often rightly so.

Itsseweasy · 17/09/2016 12:27

That's awful, I feel so sorry for your partner. You don't eat meat but is your child allowed it?
