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

I'm so fucking glad I don't have a dp/dh, aside from the shit I put up with, with my last ex, who's opinions were the only right ones, unless a professional agreed with me. It's less hassle to say imho.....

Why are so many people misunderstanding the op?

FFS, OP gave an example. Are you not capable of thinking beyond the one example?

....and if you'd read the thread, you'd see it'd already been covered off...? .

But thanks for deigning to arrive and boring people with a repeated example.

When I buy stuff from gumtree or elsewhere I always say I have to ask hubby. What that actually means is I don’t want to use my money to pay for it and I’ve just gone to tell hubby what he is about to buy. When I get it home and he says it’s crap I then say I told you what you were buying you didn’t say it was crap when I told you. I then re sell it and keep the money 😁

I've sometimes used the 'DH says...' line on here. Usually the thread will be about music (which he teaches) or about a particular heart condition (which he has) and I really don't think it matters a jot that it's his opinion and not mine. He's also a middle child, whereas I'm an only, so he has a different perspective to mine on, for instance, sibling rivalry.

I've also been on threads about teenagers and consulted the one I happen to have lounging about the house, as it is often relevant to a thread, and helpful to get her opinion. I certainly don't defer to her either!

I only say "my dh says x" if something on here is funny & he agrees, or if its something that he has expertise in & I don't, or if I want to get out of something & its easier to blame him than to show myself up as an awkward cuss. Which I am of course, but I don't like to admit it

Did you read this part of the OP?

Oh, the irony.

and if you'd read the thread, you'd see it'd already been covered off...?

Oh yay, the forum prefect now wants to tell people how they are allowed to respond.

I think maybe it's time you stepped away from Internet forums if you become so upset when people don't follow your arbitrary rules.

Why post something that's already been said several times on the thread?
