Aibu for 'punishing' DH by making him get the food shop?

DH and I have been married for 2 years, we also have a 10 month old ds.

Background: DH works full time 5 days, I work pt 2 days and 1 day from home (so 3 days all together) I do all the food shopping, meal prep, cleaning. Plus I'm the only one that drives so I do all the driving too, including taking him to work a 2 days a week. He does the bins/recycling and washes up most nights while I cook most nights

Yesterday I picked DH up from work, almost as soon as he got in DH asked what we were having for dinner - I replied beef noodles. He responded with 'oh not again, we have noodles a lot, I'm just not that into it.' I snapped that he can make his own bloody dinner then, and choose the meals and do the shopping from now on. We left it - have been moody with each other since.

He hurt my feelings and I want an apology. In my opinion this is not how you speak to someone who is making you dinner! I approached him this morning and said that I am still feeling sore about his comment, and that I would like an apology or some acknowledgement of wrong doing at least! He sulked... looked away and moodily mumbled 'SORRY.' and then said 'sorry we argued about noodles' with a smile on his face.

Wrong answer! Now I am even more pissed off, he has made light of hurting my feelings and made me feel like he doesn't give a shit.

I've just gone and dropped him and DS off at aldi with shopping list, bags and £1 for the trolley and left them there. He can do the bloody shopping for once. I've told him to text me when he's done and I'll pick him up.

AIBU?

but it's a bit more than the food aspect, there is the whinging and sulking on both sides, they are both supposed to be adults yet certainly don't act like it.

I agree.
It sounds like there's been little to no communication of who does what witj both sides acting like teenagers at times saying it's not fair.
