I’m breastfeeding a 3 week old baby and my dinner is a mushroom. AIBU to murder my husband in a hangry rage?!

Literally that.

MIL bought some big mushrooms at the weekend and there was one left, so she put some breadcrumbs and cheese on it for me. A little while ago I fell asleep on the sofa. Woke up and asked DH what he wanted for dinner. He said he’d just had his, he cooked/ate it while I was asleep. He made himself a bowl of pasta. I asked if there was any left for me? “No, I didn’t make you any. I thought you were having that mushroom.”

So... my dinner is a mushroom.

This mushroom isn’t the size of a plate or anything. It’s a big mushroom, but it’s still just a fucking mushroom.

Id be ordering a feast of pizza and he pays for it and not share a morsel with him... selfish twatmuffin that he is

ohfourfoxache · 25/11/2019 21:13

I think you need to hand baby over to him for breastfeeding, see how he bloody likes it.....

Schuyler · 25/11/2019 21:13

I hope you ordered a giant pizza and I hope you’re in a food coma.
(I’m really craving mushrooms now.)

oakleaffy · 25/11/2019 21:14

The 3% od people who thought you ABU have clearly never given birth or have breastfed....The hunger levels go through the roof...

Mushroom....
I'd say at your bedtime ''NOT mushroom in this bed..go and sleep on the sopha til you have learned to be less selfish!''

AngeloMysterioso · 25/11/2019 21:15

Well, I ate the mushroom and the worlds least appetising half a wrap... followed by the last two jam doughnuts from the pack of 5 DH bought earlier, of which he has only had one and I’m not remotely sorry.

He isn’t trying to make me lose weight or anything, he just didn’t engage his brain cell on this particular occasion.

Needless to say he is nappy servant for the foreseeable future.

He sounds inept and selfish. Why did you marry / reproduce with him?

Quebeth · 25/11/2019 21:19

Does breastfeeding render you unable to order your own takeaway? Why did you eat the sad wrap?!

CareOfPunts · 25/11/2019 21:19

YANBU. He's an arse.

I'd have ordered an Indian takeaway by now!

FenellaMaxwell · 25/11/2019 21:20

I was about to say that if you decide to murder him and bury him under the patio I’m happy to tell people we were at pizza express in Woking together tonight, but I see I’ve been beaten to it Grin

HeyNotInMyName · 25/11/2019 21:20

I would have made him cook another bowl of pasta @AngeloMysterioso.
Because what has happened there is that he did something shitty and has not had ANY consequences for it.
And changing a nappy isn’t a ‘punishment’. It’s being a dad.

Isbutteracarb · 25/11/2019 21:22

Order yourself a giant pizza (using his card).

And give yourself a pat on the back for not killing him on the spot for that mushroom comment...

BreconBeBuggered · 25/11/2019 21:22

When your baby wakes up in the night for a feed, wake DH up and send him out for food. All-night garage 20 miles away if that's all that's available. When he complains, you say you didn't realise a couple of hours' sleep might not be enough for him.

sarahC40 · 25/11/2019 21:22

Pizza immediately; patio later (You don't want to feel light headed as you dig)

Evilspiritgin · 25/11/2019 21:23

My dh went back to work when our child was 4 days old, I am a grown up and able to cook for myself or you know what said to dh when he was there and he’d already eaten pus a pan of water on for me / put toast on. Op could have even handed baby to her dh and said look after while I get myself something to eat

Plus according to mn you’re not meant to wake up a sleeping mother

Italiangreyhound · 25/11/2019 21:24

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH 'a half-eaten wrap', he really does spoil the ladies, no! Confused

snowball28 · 25/11/2019 21:25

I mean I like a stuffed mushroom as much as the next person but I usually have a medium rare rump steak and potatoes with it too 👀 what a dumbass

Send him out for a massive cheesy pizza. When I was breastfeeding I was constantly hungry and would need lots of food and meals!

AnneLovesGilbert · 25/11/2019 21:26

I wouldn't be leaving mush room in the bed for him tonightGrin

AngeloMysterioso · 25/11/2019 21:39

I couldn’t be arsed to wait for a takeaway or for DH to cook a bowl of apology penne. I will certainly find a way for him to make it up to me though!

So am I missing the point here ? I know it's a mushroom and half a wrap, but what's actually stopping you from getting more food yourself of this isn't enough ?!

Brenna24 · 25/11/2019 21:42

In years to come, when he is having his mid life crisis and has spent the day put clas in Lycra whizzing around the countryside and arrives home starving tell him that you have just eaten bit there is a mushroom in the fridge for him.

Bingcankissmyass · 25/11/2019 21:43

Hmm is Evilspiritgin OPs DH?!
