“Please have lunch ready for 1pm. Thankyou.”

[diydh]

I’m interested to know if anyone else’s husband would say this in the morning before disappearing into his office for several hours. Please be honest.

YABU - yes, fair enough
YANBU - no, he is being quite bossy

Are you his housekeeper?

Maybe in 1950...

I think quite bossy is putting mildly!

Ummm not twice...

Nope.

Write a note for him saying

Please Fuck Off.
Thank You.

😂😂😂

Ha ha ha ha ha. He wouldn’t dare. He’s a grown adult and cable of making lunch himself.

Not more than once.

My DH wouldn’t dare! 😂

No it's very rude.

When me and my husband work from home together, if I'm making us both lunch we might have a conversation about what time would work best if we need to work around meetings etc. But he would never dare say that. 😳

I would openly scoff at him if he delivered it in that tone. If he said 'Babe, I'm up the walls today, any chance of a bit of lunch at 1?' I would probably do it.

Hell, no, because I’d laugh him out of the house! If he wants lunch, he gets it himself or if you feel like making him a sandwich, then maybe offer.

Does he always do this? Is lunch a formal affair at your house? Ours is generally sandwich, soup, pot noodle. We rarely have the same thing. I’d tell him to fuck off, quite frankly.

If mine said that to me my reply would be a swear word or two and what are you making yourself for lunch as im going out for the day then i would find somewhere to go for the day as pp said its not 1950

I would oblige and pop him a dry piece of bread on a plate. 🤣

Absolutely fucking not. I’m not his housekeeper.

I usually ask when he’d like his lunch (because he often has long meetings so needs it earlier/later than our general lunch time). But he’d never, ever be so entitled as to order me around like a servant.

Not a chance. Unless he was on a very tight schedule and had five minutes to stuff a sandwich down his gullet, and even then he'd probably make his own at the beginning of the day.

The tone is rude and bossy - was it those exact words? Sounds like something you’d say to a PA, not your partner!

On a day when he is working and I am not, or he has a busier diary than me, this would be entirely normal for us, otherwise I wouldn't know when he has a gap in meetings. I'd rather he minimise his lunch break and finish work earlier.

I can't imagine that exchange happening with dp. Why would he be assuming you would be making his lunch anyway? If you were doing it as a favour, why would he speak to you so rudely about it?

My DH would never say that to me

The only possible excuse I can see would be if you'd promised to make lunch because it's a special occasion or he has an unbelievably fucking busy day.

Even then it's a rude way of putting it!

Fuck no. Never. Maybe as a joke?!

If he had an exceptionally busy day and asked nicely

"I'm really busy today and won't have time to make lunch, would you mind making me a sandwich or something for 1pm please?"

Fine.

They way you've phrased it there, nope! Not a chance!
