Aibu

So did a huge shop a few weeks agai double what o normally buy and dh is moaning yet again their is no food

I may add he has decided that he is going on a special diet

We can not really afford anyone in the family eating differently and it’s meaning we’re going through about 9 pints of milk a week
But what ever he told me it’s because i am not meal planning effectively enough

So this week I meal plan with in a inch of my life went shopping 3 days ago

Their is no milk again
No bread no crisps
No cheese
No eggs

I have had non of these items I bought fucking 10 eggs

And I have literally got back from the shop to get my stuff for lunch for the next 3 days

So tonight’s dinners need eggs and cheese I have told dh and fucking ds 18 that I will not be returning to the shop I have been twice today as it is and I am not going to the supermarket daily to replace what their guzzling

Ds 18 is doing fuck all at the moment barr eating i refuse to spend my free time going to and from the fucking supermarket I only get two days off a week
So they can go the fucking shop themselves I told dd when I get back from work tomorrow my expectation will be he will have been to the shop

I have cooked for the kids but not for dh or ds who is currently refusing to go to the shop though he with dh are the worst offenders it’s not the eating of the food it’s the expectation that I will just keep going back and fucking forth like I have nothing else to bloody do

Oh and I also sick of ds leaving a dribble of juice in the jug so he doesn’t have to refil it

I totally don't understand this thread. Presumably you all work the same number of days so why is shopping and managing the food your sole responsibility?

Just tell you husband to pull his weight and share the responsibility for the meal planning and shopping.

BTW you shouldn't have crisps and juice in the house anyway.

Leapfrog44 · 25/07/2018 12:06

And at 18 your ds should be contributing to the family budget by working. If he's not able to work, he should be helping out with housework, shopping etc for a couple of hours per day I'd never let an 18 year old get away with not contributing in any way. 18 is an adult and if they don't understand by that age that they have adult responsibilities something is seriously amiss.

Of course ten eggs in 3-4 days isn;t a lot when there are two men in the house plus children
I think the issue is that they are all being eaten by one person.

I don’t think the OP is coming back?

Delegate the shopping task to him and your DS - using an app for your largest local supermarket and have everything delivered.

You are taking on too much.

Stay strong.

It sounds like they are being eaten mostly by two people. And even if it was only those two, that would be 5 eggs in 3 or 4 days, so just over 1 per day each.

Again, not massive numbers.

I used 6 eggs yesterday for 4 people.
