To think I don’t need to be told how much bread to order

[Mamsnetter2020]

DS has been having cereal instead of toast for the last few nights so we have around half a loaf more than we usually would, DP told me I need to keep an eye on the bread situation.

AIBU to think I am a grown adult who is quite capable of this and it really does not need to be commented on!

Maybe you could get one of those Amazon rapid order buttons. Empower your DH to take control of his own Bread Situation?

@transformandriseup I find it difficult to believe 20 extra loaves for scouts is an issue 😂😂😂 I’ve catered for ours in the past #StarvingTeens

DP knows better than to try this.

Last bread related conversation in this house went like this:

Dp : mournful sigh Theres no bread for my toast.
"Oh dear that's a pity"
Repeated louder mournful sigh in case I hadn't heard it...answered by an eye roll
"What shall we do?"
Eye roll becomes higher
" WE will do nothing I don't eat bread"
" what about the DC?"
" They are eating porridge "
" they dont like porridge they want toast "
Over exaggerated crane of neck to look at ds2 happy porridge covered face and empty bowl with well timed raised eyebrow
Huge mournful sigh that reverberates the house
Eye roll hits the ceiling
" I'll walk all the way to the shop to get some then"
" the one at the end of the road ? Try not to let the wolves get you"

He doesn't bother now

Shit, the bread situation is critical here! Your post reminded me I hadn't popped the bread in the freezer, it doesn't last long in our tropical climate. It's bloody green moldy!!!

I feel he has demonstrated very poor leadership skills and needs to read the ‘Book, Basic Management For Dimmies”

He will learn from this, that “it is not enough just to alert your staff that a crisis situation is imminent. To do so will just cause a panic. You must explain the consequences of the crisis and out line in simple, achievable steps, how the crisis can be averted. If this strategy fails, the next step is to deal with the ensuing chaos. Again this should be explained in a calm, reassuring voice, without causing distress to the staff”.

If you have an elf of the shelf, surely he can be purposed to monitor the bread situation.

Your DP is unreasonable for referring to "the bread situation". YABU for thinking he cannot make comments on it. Where has he told you how much bread to order? Is there more to this? Does he often make comments you find annoying? If not, it sounds like you are perhaps being over-sensitive.

@Frenchw1fe 😂

When I worked for the civil service, I kid you not, we had to have a discussion about "the biscuit situation!" I'd only been there a few days, it was like something from "Yes Minister" (old tv programme for the young uns!) It was surreal.

[LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow]

How are things this morning OP...I barely slept due to the worry about the BreadSituation

Bread Pudding is a good call for this evening though...just bang it down on the table without comment.

Love this thread!

I can’t believe no one has picked up on the very serious implications to the cereal situation! This weeks Tesco shop it going to be one of my most challenging yet! 😂

[BeeFarseer]

(@messolini9 I did! There is a NighteyesLovesGingerbread too. I almost cried when I saw the name.)

Michael Caine would obviously have to star in the film The Bread Situation.

Too much yeast has been added and it's only gone and blown the oven door off!

Did you ask him to clarify what he meant, @Mamsnetter2020? And then come straight back here.

[Vulpine]

Tell him to kiss your buns

[transformandriseup]

We once ordered 20 loaves too much for a scout camp. That was a "bread situation"

[itsnotthatserious]

😂😂 love the idea of updates.

My dh is a micro manager. Drives me mad. Mostly I ignore him but I do sometimes have to tell him to piss off. He complains about too many lights being on (I need to bloody see at night!), if we buy too many veg or xyz, tells us how much sugar is in everything we eat, the washing machine must be on constant turnover lest we should have dirty washing. Does my fucking head in.

[Nillynally]

He gets even more uppity when we’re at the other end of the scale & there is not much bread 🙈

So you admit then, that you've allowed the bread situation to escalate before? No wonder he's concerned. Poor man.

[JenniferM1989]

Bread situation 😂

[stupidtabloidheadlines]

Hm. You should draw up a scale for clarity. Is the Bread Situation critical, or merely at a severe level?

[DippyAvocado]

Men can be weird about bread. DP will way every slice of bread in a loaf no matter if it’s a week old and there’s new, nice bread. It’s my house and I buy the food and I’m begging him please, throw that crap dried out slice away and use the new loaf, but no, he’ll eat it.

My DH does this, but he never actually eats it! It just lies festering in the wrapper in the bread bin until I throw it away. He pretends he's going to eat it, but I always see him getting a fresh slice out. I think he just doesn't like the idea of waste so he lets me do the throwing away.
