Shopping schmopping

[nunnun]

Every week, yes every week, I get back from food shopping I get a third degree on why I only got one of those, why not two. Or I haven't bought enough stuff ("there are three of us, you know"). I came back with eight freaking bags full today and OH looks at me with this disapproving, perplexed look: "why did you only get me two loaves, I asked for three loaves?" AIBU to say that for a split second I thought about ramming those two loaves onto his smug gob, including wrapping, and walking out there and then?

Stop buying food for him. It’s your only option.

Why not just go on strike and let him do it?

If I was doing something which contributed positively to another adults life and they criticised the way in which I did it, I'd stop.

Is there a reason you ignored his request for something in the weekly shop?

Another for making him do it himself - and if he is unable to go out make him do it on line. Whinging CF!

He sounds like a pain. Is there any truth in what he says though? If you’re generally not buying enough I can see why he raised it, but that doesn’t excuse him being rude or failing to do the shopping himself.

I actually did solve a similar problem when my DH moaned when I did the shopping. I was shopping for Dparents (shielding) and was expected to pick ours up as well while he lounged around at home. He moaned once too often, now we go around together with a trolley each and I buy for Dparents, he buys for us. And he's lost the 2 hours 'relaxation' time he used to have. That'll teach him...

I only get one loaf at a time and buy it fresh.
I don’t let my dh do the weekly shop as the bill doubles. Not that we need to save money, but some stuff is wasteful.
If your dh is not happy with the way you shop, maybe he should do it?

Stop doing it and let him seen as he clearly can do it better

A simple "well from now on you can do the shopping instead dear", should suffice.

Why don't you shop online? Save yourself time and grief. Ask everybody what they want ordered. If they don't tell you it isn't bought. Then you can't be to blame.

I'd have rammed one loaf into each end.

Order online, tell him the cut off time to add to the order, done.

Stop buying for him.

And tell him to stop speaking to you like you're his servant.

If he doesn't like it, he can do it himself.

I cannot imagine either my DH or myself ever moaning to each other about shopping, laundry or any other domestic task.
