So here we are in sunny Menorca celebrating a friend’s big birthday. In a villa with a pool , table tennis , pool table, beer in the fridge, music. Arrived Friday and so far every night they’ve been out for a last beer after a night out. So ...... they went shopping to get food for a bbq 4 hours ago ... are we being unreasonable

Are you and friend sitting at home like good little wifeys waiting for 'Husbands'? Have they left kids with you?

Tell them you're going out tomorrow and leaving kids with them. And do it.

This has all the hallmarks of being very entertaining! Grin

Redshoesandtheblues · 18/06/2019 16:39

I wouldn't let anyone start a bbq tonight though.

NiktheGreek · 18/06/2019 16:39

Did they get the food though?

Mumofboys95 · 18/06/2019 16:40

I don't see the issue haha! I'd love a bbq where I didn't have to pay 😂

CaptainJaneway62 · 18/06/2019 16:40

I have just voted YANBU!
Don't rely on men with access beer to provide food! Grin

We are away celebrating a friends birthday, in a villa with all sorts to entertain us and plenty of booze.

However, our husband's insist on still going to the pub for a nightcap each night.

And, they have just been to get bbq supplies and they've been gone 4 hours, clearly sneaked off to the pub again!

Is that what you mean???

ReanimatedSGB · 18/06/2019 16:44

I think I get it - the men keep swanning off and leaving the women behind, perhaps with DC to look after - the men are behaving as though they are on holiday but their wives are supposed to carry on doing all the service work in a different location.

CaptainMyCaptain · 18/06/2019 16:44

I'm not sure what the problem is.

DontCallMeShitley · 18/06/2019 16:45

Manuel is that you?

Pinkyyy · 18/06/2019 16:46

Not a clue what you're on about so I voted YABU.

Bluntness100 · 18/06/2019 16:47

I suspect the wives are also pissed as farts. Well the op anyway.

AguerosAngel · 18/06/2019 16:54

YABU in not explaining yourself clearly! Hmm

category12 · 18/06/2019 16:55

I voted YABU cos I was annoyed by the lack of clarity.

If Nottobesoldseparately's interpretation of the situation is correct, then YANBU.

SilverySurfer · 18/06/2019 16:57

Gosh, the quality of opening posts has really skyrocketed with the introduction of the vote hasn't it Hmm

If you can't post more than illegible mumblings who cares - we have votes!

cantfindname · 18/06/2019 16:57

First chance to vote and the question makes no sense!

SilverySurfer · 18/06/2019 16:57

I didn't vote

IamaBluebird · 18/06/2019 16:57

Darn it voted without even meaning to. I just pressed the button. I obviously can't be trusted with a vote button, my finger is too twitchy . No wine involved either.

formerbabe · 18/06/2019 17:00

Reminds me of that great line from the Inbetweeners...it's something like ... We're on holiday, you can't be too drunk Grin

Yabu op!

LimeKiwi · 18/06/2019 17:02

OP
Hello
Are you still there
Do you have food
Are You OK lol

ConcreteUnderpants · 18/06/2019 17:04

What happens later when the OP drip feeds that her husband is an abusive bully who wears her stockings and shoves a chicken up his arse, and the best friend is only there because she invited herself on a freebie holiday because she lost 14 stone due to lentils and yoga?

Filler44 · 18/06/2019 17:04

I have voted ,but due to lack of information. I demand that in the event of further revelations that would/could have swayed my decision.

1/ I have the right to have another vote
2/ If 1 is not met I get to go on and on and on about 1 not being met

Blarblarblar · 18/06/2019 17:05

Are you guys left with the kids? If so they guys are being unreasonable if not then..... who gives a fuck it’s a holiday

edwinbear · 18/06/2019 17:08
