DH shopping for wedding outfit on the morning of our friends wedding 🙄

[TwinkleTwinkleSeren]

What’s the most annoying thing your OH has done? This has got to make the top 5 of extremely annoying things DH has done. We have a wedding tomorrow and I’ve been asking him for weeks (months!) to try on his suit to check it fitted him okay. He just tried it on now. It goes nowhere near him 🙁The suit is an old one, over 10 years old. Now massive panic about what he’s going to do. It’s Sunday evening and bank holiday tomorrow. He’s now going off shopping with his mum in the morning leaving me to clean the house/organise everything and look after our two small DS. My folks are watching the boys in our house all day so stuff needs to be organised and I’ll need to get ready myself but with no one to watch our DS. I’m fuming! Grr.

Don't let it become your problem. DH screwed up so he has to take full responsibility for fixing it. If he ends up wearing something crap that is not your problem. I would tell everyone at the wedding the 'hilarious' story of how DH had to get a new suit with his mum and make damn sure he didn't do similar in future? Petty, yes. Effective, also yes.

If you have a Slaters near you they are great for discounted designer suits and have a great selection . Had to do an emergency Sunday shop to get DS graduation shoes , in and out in 15 minutes with black dress shoes for £25

I worried about our open stairs when our DCs we’re toddlers. I asked him several times to do something to make them safer.

he chose the morning of their 2nd birthday party to get all the tools out and make a start on it … literally an hour or two until the house was due to be full of toddlers!

My DP bought a suit in store at M&S recently. They had loads!

Also just because someone has ‘put on a lot of weight’ that doesn’t mean they’re a non-standard size. He might have just gone from a 30” to a 34” or something.

WTAF have I read??? OP’s husband and then so other men leave shopping for a wedding outfit on the day of the wedding???
I would not looking after the kids to facilitate their lack of preparation.

I actually am struggling to believe this is a thing but I guess it must be from so many people working in shops saying they have seen this.

These men need to learn to be adults.

DH and I stopped to buy him a tie en route to a recent wedding. To be fair most of our stuff has just come out of of storage and whilst he could find his suit and shirts, the ties proved elusive.

He did try on DD's old school tie but it was too short

My brother went shopping on the morning of my wedding for a shirt and tie. Must be a man thing.

Pretty sure you must have had to look after your kids alone since you’ve had them - this is not the crisis situation you’re making it out to be, really. just leave the clearing up till you’re both there and can do it, stick the kids in front of a cartoon and do your hair

I couldn’t care less when my DH gets his suit sorted, it’s not my problem.
But then I don’t facilitate his lack of organisation… like I said above, when this happened with us, DH took the kids with him to buy a suit while I got ready leisurely at home.

I'd tell him to suck it up and wear the one that doesn't fit. His own fault if he's uncomfortable and looks like a moron. Why does he need mummy to help him? Is he that useless?

We had to go out the morning of my Wife’s 11am uni graduation because despite lots of nagging she hadn’t got herself something to wear!

Women to the rescue, saving the day as usual🙄. I couldnt be asked with all that

& You could have both done the cleaning the night before. Why didnt that happen?

The saying that the most stressed people are married women and single men likely has a lot of truth to it.

No. I do not enjoy shopping. I just plan ahead and make sure I'm ready so I don't have to rush around like a crazy person and/or inconvenience other people.

I'm not sure how the OP is "facilitating his lack of organisation". She's not running round googling shops and ordering and collecting suits for him. If he gets up and walks out of the door to buy a suit what's she meant to do? Lock him in and swallow the door key? Handcuff him to the children?

My now DH was shopping for a suit for our own engagement party at 3pm on the day of the party 🤦🏽‍♀️ and we had to stop at a retail park on the way to my sisters wedding to let him buy a new shirt. It's a very common thing and drives me insane

My husband didn't tell me until after, but our best man was buying his suit on the morning of our wedding (budget wedding, we bought shirts and ties and told best man and my brothers to wear whatever suit they had).
