H2B didn't make me toast.

So H2B says 'I fancy something to eat' and I said I was hungry too and would like some toast.

Me - I'd love some toast if your getting something.
Him - I always make the toast
Me - I made dinner. I always make dinner. If you make the dinner, I'd make the toast.
Him - ok well I'll make dinner on Friday.
Me - fine

20 mins goes past

Him - I think I'd like some banana and peanut butter on my toast
Me - help yourself. I asked you half an hour ago for some toast and you've just sat there!
Him - you didn't actually ask me
Me - I'm not going beg you for toast! Forget it.

I'm now in bed sulking.

I am aware this is completely trivial and ridiculous but AIBU?!

damn it he's coming to bed. No toast for anyone. Hmm

I do almost everything in this bloody house. Least he could do is make me a slice of toast! It's the principle.

P.s. Some of you mumsnetters are plain rude, however I appreciate your feedback. :)

Yes, I really want some toast now. So YABU for making us all want toast.

Despairbunny · 21/03/2017 22:01

The only way you are possibly NBU is if you are pregnant. Are you?

Lweji · 21/03/2017 22:01

Unless anyone else is making some?

I've just finished dinner. But had two slices of bread when I got home at 7pm. It was good wholesome bread. Not crap sliced plastic bread.

bignamechangeroonie · 21/03/2017 22:02

be grateful you avoided mindless consumption of excess calories

Literally the most un-fun statement ever

Get up and get toast (with hot chocolate)

EastMidsMummy · 21/03/2017 22:02

I've always thought of toast as a purely breakfast food. Is it a night time snack too?

What?? Whaaat??? Purely breakfast food??? Whaaat???

hockityponktas · 21/03/2017 22:03

Oh Sod it I'm going to get some. We have no marmite left though Shock

ConfidentlyUnhinged · 21/03/2017 22:04

I would kill for cheese on toast about now. With loads of pepper and a few chilli flakes. And I would savour every mindless calorie.

WorraLiberty · 21/03/2017 22:05

Clearly neither of you actually needed to eat. Be grateful you avoided mindless consumption of unnecessary calories.

Good lord.

Not everyone has a fucked up relationship with food.

Some of us have a bit of toast because you know, it's nice and we fancy a bit of toast before bed.

It's not a deep fried mars bar.

altiara · 21/03/2017 22:05

Hungry now - agree with others, for that reason YABU!

Does anyone make cheese on toast in the microwave? (Toast bread, butter it, grate cheese, microwave for 40 secs to melt cheese) yum
Ooh who mentioned hot chocolate!!
I'd better walk the dog to prevent excess calorie consumption.

DeadMorose · 21/03/2017 22:05

My DH is making me toast right now. I also just put "Toast" on Netflix on. Because toast.
Misses the point of the thread

The calories point is a good one. I am on weight watchers after all. But it would be in my points. Might go make my own and waft the toasty smell towards him to make him hungry. Halo

altiara, I usually make sandwich like that. Two slices of toast, buttered, cheese and ham in it, and then microwave. The food of cheese gods.

Microwave cheese on toast?! Genius! The grill is such a faf!

OP posts:
hockityponktas · 21/03/2017 22:08

Yes altiara the only way to make cheese on toast in this house because the grill needs cleaning and so sets on fire when i use it!

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 21/03/2017 22:09

Go and make toast for both of you.
Bring tray of toast to bed.

He'll think he's won, but he won't realise that you're carefully brushing all the crumbs over to his side of the bed.
Sorted.

RJnomore1 · 21/03/2017 22:10

I had the maternity tea and toast after dd1 and promptly threw it up.

I like white toast but I only buy whole meal bread.

Life is one long toast related disappointment for me.

maddiemookins16mum · 21/03/2017 22:10

Cheap white bread, toasted, with real butter.
Best thing ever.

EB123 · 21/03/2017 22:10

My husband is now making me some toast! YANBU

PollyBanana · 21/03/2017 22:10

God, I want a melted cheese toastie now you utter bastards

normanreedusWILLbemyhusband · 21/03/2017 22:12

I want toast now.
DP pinched my toast this morning, (last slice of bread left) and he still doesn't understand why I'm in a mood with him. Hmm
(I didn't buy bread today just so he can't have toast in the morning) Grin

MissMogwi · 21/03/2017 22:15

Make your own toast and eat it in bed next to him.

I'm trying to talk DP into making me some toast now. He makes the best toast, even better than hospital toast.

TheFairyCaravan · 21/03/2017 22:15

DH always brings me tea and toast in bed on a Sunday morning. I don't even have to ask. It dates back to when I was in bed feeding the kids. They're 22 and 20 now and don't even live at home but he still does it.

OvO · 21/03/2017 22:16

He said he'd make dinner on Friday therefore he'd get to as made for him on FRIDAY. Tonight he should have made the toast.

I know this because we have Toast Wars here too. Grin. The same argument is used - I make all the dinners so the very least the bugger can do is make the toast occasionally! Dinner is every bastarding day while 'night toast' is not even weekly.

I once became so enraged by my DH's refusal to make me toast I didn't make him dinner for the next three days.

He always make the toast now.

Batteriesallgone · 21/03/2017 22:17

But if he makes dinner on Friday, that means you make the Friday late night toast, surely?

And today is Tuesday so who is making all the dinners until Friday? You? So he should be making the toast until Friday!

Have I missed something here? So confused...
