DP bought me a present...

[RavenLG]

Came home with a mop!!!
AIBU to shove it up his backside?

but Ive got a fab new hoover that my DP bought me. I love it. Im weird

Few years ago dp bought me one of those electronic toning belt things ( for my birthday)because "you said you need to tone and I know you don't like exercise" I took that as him telling me I'm lazy and fat. I attached it to him and put it on full whack while he was sleeping. Yanbu

Our vacuum cleaner packed up the other day. I went out to buy a new one as we are in the midst of decorating so really needed a replacement. Before I left DH suggested I get one of those cordless upright Dyson ones. I looked at him like this and said "do you know how much they cost?!" (we are a it skint due to aforementioned decorating).

Anyhow, at Currys I was presented with a frankly baffling array of different types of vacuum cleaner, but lo and behold there was a Vax version of the Dyson, for less than half the price. It is the same spec except that it vacuums for 45 minutes before it needs a re-charge whereas the Dyson of similar spec only did 30 mins.

So I bought that. Took about 5 minutes all in.

When I got home I (pretend) sheepishly said "I took your advice, I think you are right that we need one of these. It was cheaper than a Dyson so I saved money!"

He can't stop using it and I don't think I will ever need to clean floors again! Best purchase ever! I had a play with it when he was out, and it is bloody brilliant, but I am not going to take the pleasure of his new gadget away from him.

I love to mop

Well I suppose we all need a hobby

I like the sound of your Mum.

by way of revenge, I cooked it and made him eat it

Perfect

It's only a present if he's going to mop while you drink wine and watch.

My birthday present, the month before I gave birth to dh first child, was a food processor. It was a very nice one and I did get a small tube of Pringles and a chunky Kit Kat as well but I was thinking I'd get treat things, what with it being my last birthday just as his wife. He knows now how I feel.

My husband is notoriously bad at present buying. When we got engaged he gave me a pair of pigs. Actual, massive, snorting, fence-wrecking pigs. Very romantic!
After years of really naff presents/household appliances, I made a succinct point with his next present. I gave him a pair of castration pliers. Things improved after that, but not much!

Dh once bought me a pile of computer games and a vegetarian cookbook. Once.

Brilliant.

You're mop, he's bucket.

Many moons ago, when DD2 was born, DH possibly having realised, for the first time, that a present would be nice after all the effort etc, got me a clock radio to replace the perfectly good one I already had. The only difference was the new one has green numbers and the old one had red, which presumably bothered him - though thinking about it - he's colour blind - so who knows
I think he'd forgotten just how much use an alarm was to a woman breastfeeding on demand it was worth the money though, as it's still working fine 2 decades later.

I need a new mop.

Thanks for the reminder.

hold the wind in and let rip tonight under the duvet, then tell him it's a present

Pmsl at the quinoa.

I'd love a pair of pigs though, especially if they were Mangalitzas or Gloucester Old Spots.

The romance 😂😂😂

Perhaps it's like when you get a jiffy bag with car keys in and find your present is a new car? Maybe the mop means he'll be paying for a cleaner and you can get on with more important stuff?

how can that be a present ?

These are hilarious. My DH once brought me a drill bit from an oil rig.

Bought a Karcher window steam thingy. Have not cleaned a window since. Dh loves It!!

I once got a clearly very expensive set of water colour paints and a some sort of upmarket painting-by-numbers set from DH. I failed O Level Art and have never expressed any interest whatsoever in art. It still baffles me - presents before and since have been fine, so what was that random abberration about? I've tried to ask, but he doesn't seem to know either.

For my birthday, my husband once gifted me a printer. 🙄

DP is generally good for presents, but often tries to pass off treats he has bought for himself as a gift for me. Recently came back from a walk with DD with a very expensive jacket, which he said initially was just for me, then demonstrated that it fitted him too, perfectly in fact as it was a men's jacket in his size - from his favourite shop too which doesn't stock womenswear Admittedly sometimes I do wear men's things and I do generally buy them to be oversized, but he has worn the coat non stop since buying it even inside as I won't turn the heating on so I haven't got a look in.

Maybe he's seen this

Red, nope not Swedish. I was baffled too. I don’t think I resemble a root vegetable either...!

My, much missed, late, DH bought me a tin of Nitromors for when I came home with our first DC . We were renovating a house at the time and he thought I might get bored having nothing to do whilst on Maternity leave. He was a GP!

DH bought me aftershave for my birthday

Granted, it was the same brand of perfume I asked for.. but the aftershave
