DH and breakfast

23 replies

timeofcrisis · 25/03/2020 08:55

This morning I went out for my one allowed daily outing to walk the dog. DH was cooking breakfast for him and me and giving porridge to DD. He was going to keep mine warm in the oven. When I returned there was no cooked breakfast waiting for me. DD hadn't liked her porridge and he said I should eat that , which by then was slightly dried out and not very appealing. He said he'd sent me a text saying I'd have to eat it. But I don't take my phone with me when walking the dog and I don't eat porridge! I got quite pissed off. AIBU? I'd like to do a voting YABU/YANBU but don't know how to do that.

He ate your breakfast? He’s a selfish nob head.

AteAllTheAfterEights · 25/03/2020 08:57

Why didn’t he swap with her? Or split the cooked stuff between 3? YANBU

Totalfangoolie · 25/03/2020 08:58

Yeah that would piss me off too.

You didn’t eat the porridge did you?

Quartz2208 · 25/03/2020 08:58

DId your DD eat the breakfast, did he or did he not cook one

Totalfangoolie · 25/03/2020 08:58

Did he give dd your breakfast?

Rosebel · 25/03/2020 09:05

Why didn't he eat the porridge if it was so important and who is he to say you must eat something? Is he always that controlling?

Mosseywossey · 25/03/2020 09:24

What a nob!

RainbowSlide · 25/03/2020 09:25

Yanbu that would piss me right off

billy1966 · 25/03/2020 09:26

Selfish twat.
Not the first example either I bet.

Definitely really mean.

Does he have any redeeming qualities or is this the straw the broke the camels back

madcatladyforever · 25/03/2020 09:29

Kill him and bury him. Tell everyone he left you after getting lock in stress and you don't know where he is.
Job done.
Nobody would blame you.

Tiredmum100 · 25/03/2020 09:31

YANBU. He doesn't sound very nice!

Anydreamwilldo12 · 25/03/2020 09:47

Did he even make you a cooked breakfast, if so, where did that go.

I can't believe he text you to say you will 'have' to eat the porridge. Does he often tell you what to do?

You are not being unreasonable and he is a twat!

Zaphodsotherhead · 25/03/2020 09:49

Anyone telling me I'd HAVE to eat something (other than my mother, regarding my greens) would get very very short shrift.

What gives him the right to tell you you must eat it? Why can't he eat it? Or Ddog? My dog loves porridge... And where was your cooked breakfast? He can't have known that your DD wouldn't eat her porridge whilst he was cooking, so he should have cooked enough for two anyway? Did he eat it all?

Oakmaiden · 25/03/2020 09:51

Did he give your breakfast to your dd?

lowlandLucky · 25/03/2020 10:01

Tomorrow morning send him out with the dog and make yourself a gorgeous breakfast and leave dried out porridge on the side for him

cushioncovers · 25/03/2020 10:03

What happened to your cooked breakfast? And why the fuck is he expecting you to eat secondhand porridge?

timeofcrisis · 25/03/2020 10:13

Well these were all good questions! Which I put to him in a calmer manner than my initial response! He only cooked enough for himself, and DD had a different cereal. He doesn't eat porridge (either 🙄) and thought we shouldn't waste any food... We've sorted it out between us now and hopefully he won't be so bloody cheeky again. Thanks for helping Mumsnet 😀, I was too annoyed to think.

So what was your response? I'm hoping you simply cooked yourself the breakfast you were expecting.

Sexnotgender · 25/03/2020 10:25

Hope you’ve cooked yourself a lovely breakfast now. What a knobber.

timeofcrisis · 25/03/2020 11:05

Cooked myself a nice breakfast yes 😀. Silly man 🙄

Your dh is a dick. Don’t cook him dinner.

monkeymonkey2010 · 25/03/2020 13:23

so he decided that in order to 'not waste food' he was only going to cook himself a hot breakfast - and the 'women' in the house either go without (you) or force themselves to eat food they don't like/not made properly (DD)...and he even went as far as texting you and DICTATING to you what YOU were allowed/expected to eat?

He sounds like a prize nobhead to me. Too full of his self-importance.....i bet he comes out with some ridiculous excuse - "i NEED more/better food cos i'm a man and physically need more!"
