I have been feeling ill for a couple of days. H is not a good cook, I am a good cook so I have chosen to carry on cooking things I like in the hope I might actually want to eat something.

Yesterday I made a plum cake, shepherds pie for dinner, couldn't eat any of it.

Today I made crumpets for breakfast - couldn't face them and Chicken Laska for lunch - couldn't eat it.

H just came in from a walk and asked me if I wanted anything - no thanks.

He then sat next to me with a piece of cake and a massive portion of vanilla ice cream (the last of it). I said 'oooh I hadn't thought of ice cream, can I have some in a ramekin with a little spoon' - his response was, 'this is the last of it, I will save you some, you can have my bowl when I have finished'.

I didn't want his bowl when he had finished, I wanted a clean small ramekin with a bit of his massive serving of the last of the ice cream.

I should have asked him before he sat down apparently. He did get it under protest - I am clearly asking too much - not!

I am the one with the problem according to him, the selfish git. I said that if I related this to any of my friends/family they would agree with me - god this is so bloody petty - the completely selfish git.

HappyFlappy you sound like a fucking nightmare, your DH deserves a medal

He does, too - and tells me so on almost a daily basis! Grin

She was not cooking the food for him, she made the bloody cake for herself even though she's 'sick'.

MadamePomfrey · 25/02/2017 17:46

On the flip side no one has asked the op to 'drag herself into the kitchen and cook' she has chosen to do that in the hope she will fancy what she makes that's on her as is the meals she has chosen to cook not the quickest or easiest but I'm guessing what she thought she had most chance of fancying. If she didn't want to wasn't able to do it then she should have said I'm sure the Dc's and DH would have survived io ready meals or beans in toast for a few days while she rested!! She's not wrong to change her mind nor is he evil for not jumping up and serving her instantly! He offered a reasonable alternative op refused he then said he wished she'd said before he sat down and ultimately he still got up and got it! Now he is a selfish and a prat??? Op is lucky she's not in this house where we follow the rule if your well enough for ice cream your not sick anymore 😂😂

HappyFlappy · 25/02/2017 17:46

She made the plum cake because she thought she might want to eat it. Not anyone else.

God forbid a woman do anything for herself.

Grilledaubergines · 25/02/2017 17:50

YABU. Sounds like your DH couldn't have done anything right no matter what he did.

Hope you feel better soon Flowers

MiddleClassProblem · 25/02/2017 17:50

Many women do things for other people when they are on their last legs, never mind unwell! so do many men

KateDaniels2 · 25/02/2017 17:51

Missing the point in purpose flappy?

I didnt say she shouldnt do something for herself. But she didnt do that for anyone else. Which is what you said.

AQuietMind · 25/02/2017 17:52

OP have you name changed again to Happyflappy

You read my mind Grin

BlisseyMon · 25/02/2017 17:53

Well I don't know about all of you but I fancy a slice of plum cake now.

🍰😊

MiddleClassProblem · 25/02/2017 17:54

HappyFlappy I'm going to hope your sexism and theatrical language is just due to an extreme passion for ice cream

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 25/02/2017 17:55

Happy if you aren't the op you should marry her and let your poor husbands free to be with the normal folk.

Would be interesting to see which one of he princesses through the first strop over the others spoilt behaviourGrin

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 25/02/2017 17:56

*THREW not through ffs phone, what are you doing to me!!;

BlueFolly · 25/02/2017 17:59

YANBU OP!!!

Nobody wants sloppy seconds ice cream FFS!

AQuietMind · 25/02/2017 18:02

BlueFolly

I am pretty sure as a couple they have shared more than a bowl of ice cream!

HappyFlappy · 25/02/2017 18:06

I'm going to hope your sexism and theatrical language is just due to an extreme passion for ice cream

I do have an extreme passion for ice cream Middle, especially Carte D'Or Cafe Latte and their Rum and Raisin.

Perhaps it has affected my judgement - but probably not.

OnionKnight · 25/02/2017 18:08

Oh bollocks now I want ice cream.

ThoraGruntwhistle · 25/02/2017 18:28

I don't think it's unreasonable for her to request to have him put some ice cream in a bowl for her, instead of eating his fill and leaving her the scraps. I would be pretty put out if my DH knew I hadn't eaten in a couple of days and couldn't bother his arse to help me out when I'm poorly.

BoneCruncher · 25/02/2017 18:38

YABU ofcourse. However, I regularly do the "no I'm fine thanks. Oh actually now my eyes have feasted on yours my mouth feels kinda left out" thing.

Pass me my tiaria. And food Cake

MiddleClassProblem · 25/02/2017 18:43

Actually have we established the flavour of the ice cream?

BoneCruncher · 25/02/2017 18:44

bet it's plumb middle Grin

BoneCruncher · 25/02/2017 18:45

*plum

MiddleClassProblem · 25/02/2017 18:46

Yes and homemade 2 days ago Grin

Sorry, I jest OP

AQuietMind · 25/02/2017 18:50

It was Vanilla ice cream with obvious home made plum cake!

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 25/02/2017 18:55

Presumably you didn't need to go to all that effort to cook, your family could have had less elaborate meals for a few days?

And it's REALLY annoying when you get food and someone else wants a bit of it Grin

arethereanyleftatall · 25/02/2017 19:06

Yabu. He did nothing wrong whatsoever. I hope you're only like this cos you're poorly.
