I am sure I am! but men are bloody useless

[bunnyhunny]

Dh was working late today. I have had a stressful afternoon with ds crying constantly if I left his side.

Anyway, eventually I get a call from dh, who offered to get pizza on the way home.

Lovely!

So he turns up with a dominos box. I am getting excited, until i open it. It's a meat feast. I dont eat red meat!!!

Fucking useless men.

I was really disappointed and had a go at him - I mean, we have been married for 12 years, and for most of that time I have been veggie, or have not eaten red meat. I think I was not veggie for about 2 years out of that time. He has gone to sulk upstairs and buggered if I am going to apologise.

Although I will confess to having a slightly dim view of the less fair sex. So shoot me.

And I have a son.

(hmc squares up defiantly)

well considering what 60% of internet traffic is supposed to be, I think complaining about pizza is relatively meritous.

cant argue with any of your other points pan!
but I have had pretty lousy life experiences.

YANBU. DH offers to get me a chinese as a treat on his way home from pub at 11.00 pm BUT wants me to find the menu - from the bottomless kitchen drawer, phone the take away and order etc so that he can just swan in and pick up. Perhaps I am being unreasonable but sort of think if it is a treat I shouldnt have to do much towards it - And after 12 years I would expect him to KNOW what to order......

he's going to bring home a Chinaman from the pub for you? Wow! Very liberal relationship you have there......

pan, you are being very intolerant this morning

I know.

Great , innit!!

Bunnyhoho: I do provide a cooked meal every night, and even if dh and I are going out, I normally have to cook for the dc. Recently they were fed elsewhere when we went out (v early) and it was an enormous treat for me - I actually had time to get ready.

At the moment I work (for money) about 4 hours a week but next year am likely to be doing a lot more hours. It is the mothers who are out working all day and then have to come home and cook for a family who have the hardest time. I don't know how or if I will cope.

I hope that he's now fully briefed on which pizza to buy you the next time he goes to Dominos BunnyHunny.

I didn't think you really meant it when you said all men were useless. Clearly they aren't - the ones who manage to bring home the right pizzas demonstrate that.

Of course you'll cope Elastic. You'll have to. Just like the rest of the working mums. Including getting your beloved to help out as necessary.

I'm sure you're right VVV.

Pan I am trying to work up some righteous indignation...and failing

would you appreciate some assistance??

Go on, have a try.

Unfortunately I am unflappable tonight

me too.
