The following is fairly lighthearted but it did piss me off a bit.
I offered to get takeaway for dinner tonight. We don’t have much money so this is a little treat and great to not have to cook for a change. I told dp that my budget is £20.
There’s me, dp and our teenage ds.
He entered mine and ds choice into app and added his own, then told me ‘oh, it’ll go over your budget by £5 because I want a pizza too’ The pizza is in addition to his chosen meal (he’s always buying more than he needs to eat if we get takeaway, if it’s Mcdonalds he’ll order a couple of extra cheeseburgers to reheat later, and he likes cold pizza so that would get eaten either later or tomorrow)
I said that’s fine just give me the £5. He looked shocked and said ‘but you’re paying tonight’ so I said that he knows my budget is £20 and I’ve got to stick to it (I could actually afford the £5 if I wanted to pay it)
He huffed and said he won’t get the pizza then. I asked why he insists on ordering 2 meals anyway and he said ‘because I’m hungry’
I told him there’s plenty of other food in the house if he was still hungry after dinner (he wasn’t)
Was I BU to ask for the £5 or was he BU and taking the piss?
