To think slow cookers use a lot of electricity?

Hi,

DH pays gas and electric (currently on meters waiting to be taken onto monthly pay) I'm on maternity leave.

I use my slow cooker 1-2 times per week (smallest slow cooker ever) and it makes plenty of food for me for the week and so handy with having a baby to look after.

DH doesn't like food from the slow cooker, due to his work schedule we usually have to eat tea at different times etc.

Today DH says it's costing too much and it's ridiculous and it's pointless, he thinks it's using all our electricity and costing him a fortune.

I'm struggling on my maternity pay, I still our mortgage and council tax though DH contributes some, my outgoings leave me with next to nothing.

I've been enjoying cooking, I then got upset because I don't do much else and I use hardly any electric and I'm mindful of it because I feel bad I can't contribute more.

Blah idk Im probably being unreasonable getting so upset but I didn't think they cost a lot to run and I feel like it was some stupid little thing I enjoyed and now I feel bad for even doing that.

Sorry for the moan, I'm emotional and extremely fed up of relying on him financially for the gas and electric and I just want to use my bloody slow cooker.

Now I'm sat upstairs fuming, while he plays his PlayStation that I'm sure uses just as much electricity Hmm

Ahhhh one of those days!!!

actually people not talking to each other seems a theme too
I really worry about friends who seem doormats who do feel put upon but never talk to their partner/husbands because it might be difficult or they might sulk
honestly !!!
