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

My son barely eats and I would be delighted if he ate something resembling chicken soup! I really can't see the issue & think YABU to call your OH names for doing lunch for the kids. Just because you wouldn't feed it to them. I don't think OH would be v impressed if I called him names for feeding the kids tinned soup. I thought it was a joke thread.....

You sound nuts. And retrospectively labelling this nonsense "lighthearted" doesn't actually make it amusing, you know? You must be a bloody nightmare to live with.

YABVVVU to call your DH a cunt.

A twunt, maybe. I get it OP - when you make an effort and other people lazily cut corners when it would have been so much easier for you to too.

I'm dailyarsewipe and I call my husband a cunt at times, and he calls me one too.

Never in anger, usually because one or other of us is behaving like one and always in good humour. But guess what? We're really happy, have a great relationship, cope with all sorts of terrible shit on a day to day basis.

Its just a word, not damaging unless you choose to be offended by it or deliberately misunderstand it's intention when used in that context.

Forgot my Wink above, after the word twunt, which kind of ruined the message!

I'm not really with this post, is it because your child is a vegetarian and your husband gave her chicken soup, that annoyed you so much , or is it just you who is the vegetarian ?.Or are you just angry that there was lots of other fresh options available and he just choose the soup for convenience ?.To be honest, I think he's quite brave to feed your tot soup, because it must create a lot of mess and at least it gave you some time to do your garden.

My dds granny sent photos of a day trip with a photo of a fruit shoot in it. I lost the plot, I don't approve of crap processed food, don't want my dd eating crap processed chicken. I've lightened up a bit but I don't think you're being unreasonable.

milkyface · 17/09/2016 15:38

Ffs this is ridiculous!

Don't Ever let your child eat school dinners or attend any parties will you. Hmm

I'm planning to cook when I wean my baby but if dp gave him a jar I really wouldn't give a shit.

It's chicken fucking soup not fucking arsenic.

So tinky calling your own husband a cunt. Well done.
