To get the absolute RAGE at posters who say 'DH says'

[Grobagsforever]

Reading a thread about whether poster is being unreasonable about petrol costs. Someone comes along 'DH has worked out the cost and it is...'

This happens ALL THE TIME on Mumsnet. They post as if DH is some kind of oracle. ON ANY ISSUE. They never explain why DH has superior knowledge e.g this DH can multiply 45 pence per mile by 300 better than anyone else..

Not TAT that is just an example

Oops. Lots of phone typos in the above.

The faux naïveté on this thread is hilarious!

My DH is quite clever in his areas of knowledge so tbh if DH says, DH is probably right.

Really? Do elaborate...

Placemarking until DH gets home and I can ask him how to reply.

@*Bloomburger

Sorry Bananashake I don't have time, just got in and got to work in 5 as client arriving*.

So you won't be able to read the answer to your question, why not wait till later and read the whole thread.

Oh come on, you know vastly superior man-brains never err. Just look at the unspoilt, peaceful paradise they've created for us all

Sara Clara but that's not what the OP is about

Are posters deliberately missing the point.

It's nothing to do with however your relationships work. It's nothing to do with areas of expertise

Is the trivial, pointless sharing of what their DH thinks of a general topic

Maybe some of you need your DH to tell you what to think after all

I can never decide if it's funny or depressing that some posters - allegedly women - have such a hatred and bitter attitude towards MENZ.
And never heard or believe in happy and equal relationship.

If you need examples

Thread -What's your fave episode of Friends
60 posters answer
One says. DH's favourite is XY

That's what the OP is talking about

Or the petrol thread.

yes, asking someone a frivolous question makes you brainless and weak, of course dear, it totally does...

When something goes wrong in the house, plumber problem etc my MIL always says "we need a man". She will not consider a womans opinion on anything.

Drives me wild.

I sorted her boiler problem in her holiday home over the summer, suck on that!

Most recent - one poster’s DH is a consultant who rubbishes the NHS which pays him £100k because doing so boosts his private practice which earns him more £££. So, of course, we should accept his word as gospel. Because he’s God, dontchaknow.

one poster’s DH is a consultant
so that would make it as stupid to ask him about the NHS as it would be to ask a teacher DH about a school related question, wouldn't it...

Only if the teacher could earn extra money from rubbishing state education - oh wait, private tutoring.

I hear you OP.

If I've got a plumbing problem I can see why you might ask your plumber DH and say 'My DH is a plumber and he says...'.

If I'm musing over whether to go to Asda or Aldi 'DH says Asda' is a bit odd.

And In the case of the OP, why attribute it to DH when you could just put the answer? It seems a bit like 'move over girls, a man has the answer'.

On the 'how much do you earn thread' it was a bit of an eye opener how many people said 'DH earns xx'. That's not the question!

TheMuppetShow. GTF with the "dear"

AmIScary

it's not a swear word you know.
HTH

I do know that Muppet. Still, GTF with it

And maybe RTFT. The OP is quite clear. I'm not sure why you're continuing to run with your own agenda. You're just coming across as a twat

At least DH doesn't blow kisses your way.

'Hun' and 'xx'

That's where my rage lives.

I get a bit funny when I read "I've spent thousands on clothes and my husband is going to go mad" or "I'm going to ask my husband if he'll buy me..."

The imbalance just doesn't sit easy with me I guess. I am in a relationship but would never expect to rely on my OH financially to this degree.

AmIScary

wow bit angry this morning are we dear?
Having a different opinion is not having "an agenda". Not everyone share yours, I am sure you can get over it if you try a bit harder.

Seriously Muppet you need to grow up

Stick to your goady posts. You'll find that very fulfilling I'm sure.

Yes dear

My sister is like this. Anything you talk about she will invariably say "well J says/thinks/believes..." as though he is the last word on the matter. I just find it a bit pathetic tbh.
