30 weeks pregnant. DD asleep.
DH gone to friends house for drinks. Which is fine but I asked him to get me pudding and a drink from the shop at the end of the road before he left. He left and forgot to get it even though I said it as he was saying bye. AIBU to be majorly pissed off and grumpy.
He's at friends now and won't be back before I'm in bed.
I wanted something nice to drink and some chocolate!! Sad

Wouldn't drive me to mcdonalds!

Where do you live? UberEats can fix this problem for you fast

“Only on MN, where expectations of kindness and consideration can be very low.”

This is so true. I am constantly amazed at how mean spirited so many posters are.

Cherry4weans · 10/08/2019 19:37

I feel sorry for the people who have had to be so self sufficient that they can't expect an act of kindness from their babies father. And sad that feeling fed up at 30 weeks pregnant after working, looking after a child and not being able to go out and have fun is so distastefully immature. Yanbu.

I can’t believe the harsh comments on this thread!
You’re stuck at home pregnant looking after a sleeping child, he said he would get you snacks and he didn’t, now he’s out having fun and you have no chocolate, I’d be annoyed too!
Try take away delivery that do desserts, get yourself a giant chocolate fudge cake and a big cookie dough dessert,
You deserve it!

Can’t believe you would actually expect something like this- I obviously live in a different world !

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 10/08/2019 19:51

When I want Something Nice and there's nothing else snack-ish, toast and jam - preferably blackcurrant - goes down very nicely.

BertrandRussell · 10/08/2019 19:52

“Can’t believe you would actually expect something like this- I obviously live in a different world !”
So your partner is at home looking after your child and pregnant with your second one, you’re going out for the evening and you think it’s too much to pop to the shop for some chocolate for her? I am so glad I don’t live in your house?

hsegfiugseskufh · 10/08/2019 20:04

Dp has driven to mcdonalds for me or gone to the shop for me on many an occasion to get something i fancied even when not pregnant. Now i can drive i do the same. Its nice to be nice Grin

I'm with Bertrand on this one, it's just a simple act of kindness.

OP, I hope that milkshake hit the spot last night, and I wonder what your DH has since said.

Zoom isn’t in my area yet, I tried chop chop but the app isn’t great and it never seems to have any delivery slots anyway. In my area the Co-op now do 2 hour delivery.

LouH1981 · 10/08/2019 20:27

I’m with you! 24 weeks pregnant and if I’d set my heart on pudding and a drink it would occupy my mind all night! I’d be gutted 😊
Especially if you are in and cosy. By the evening after working all day and then looking after my 4 year old I struggle to move off the sofa with all the aches and pains! Sorry you went pudding less!

BertrandRussell · 10/08/2019 20:38

I just read this post to my 18 year old and he said if the OP lived near us he’d deliver her chocolate even though he doesn’t know her and her dp is an arsehole. (Verbatim quote- don’t shoot the messenger)

ChristmasFluff · 10/08/2019 20:48

Well in the past I've ordered a pizza from Dominos purely to get ice cream and cookies before now. Maybe OP could do that (using partner's card)?

ChristmasFluff · 10/08/2019 20:50

Oh, and of course, OP, your partner has shown who he is. He's not going to be better when your second child is born.

Learning to be non-dependent on a partner is great. But then you realise you don't need a partner at all.

Clangus00 · 10/08/2019 20:55

Jar of Nutella and a spoon 👍🏻

Nettie1964 · 10/08/2019 20:56

That's life😁 get a new DP or resign yourself😁

U2HasTheEdge · 10/08/2019 20:56

I would be pissed off too. If DH says he will get me something and then forgets I would be annoyed. It's horrible when you are looking forward to something and it doesn't happen.

I don't care if that makes me childish.

Can’t believe you would actually expect something like this- I obviously live in a different world !

Bloody hell. If you own husband can't do nice things for you then who can? My husband often goes to the shop to get me chocolate. I'm not even pregnant!

Tini17 · 10/08/2019 21:11

YANBU. Has he forgotten you get special privileges since you are pregnant? I’d be fuming with my DH.
LTB.

On another note, can you rustle up an emergency mug cake or some pancakes with syrup?
Can your (friendly) neighbours assist with an emergency lending of chocolate?

Oh my goodness, good call! I could soooo murder some Nutella right now! 😋

SometimesItRains · 10/08/2019 21:25

The amount of joyless grumpy bastards on this thread - everyone has to be totally self-dependent and totally serious at all times. How depressing your lives must be.

GPatz · 10/08/2019 21:58

Assuming you ate a nourishing, tasty dinner, I cannot understand why you would want to be 'snacking' later in the evening. Most peculiar!

I can't stop laughing at this. It's so pompous!

Juog · 10/08/2019 21:59

No your not being unresnable ,it's just your hormones, your allowed to feel the way you do,my dh once had to go out and find liquor chocolates for me when I was pregnant (not an easy task in August) he got the next best thing, dark chocolate and a miniuture bottle of cherry brandy (and yes I know ALCOHOL , but this was a long time ago),anyway I wish you plenty of snacks and chocolates, stock up when you next go shopping.
