God, I asked DH to book a re delivery, wasn't the usual postie who would throw it in the back garden. Knowing it is fleece bedding for the kids wanted it before the strike and he's diverted it and doesn't know where 🙄 can't do anything till Friday. Should have just done it myself! Lesson learnt!

Why couldn’t you do it yourself?

Why should she?

Presumably she had other stuff to do. It's part of family life to ask each other to help do stuff.

My DH asked if I could sort dinner tonight as he has something on with the DSC. He could do it himself but he's asked me to help. No biggie.

Thankfully he values what I do, raising his children, over money and appreciates me for all that I do. He thanks me most days for growing and giving birth to them

Yet you come online slagging him off calling him thick....nice!

Women can be thick too.

I absolutely hate this kind of thread - sexist title then lots of “yep if you want a job done properly don’t ask your male partner”. It’s Bullshit.

people can be thick. Really really thick. Makes life harder for all of us.

Sometimes even people who aren't generally thick can be a bit thick. It's all OK. We are all human.

Can you imagine if this was a thread on Dadsnet called, 'Women can be so thick'.
Imagine the content, "I asked my wife to do something and she got it wrong. How thick is she? Lesson learned, only us men can do a job right."
How offensive is that? The guy got something wrong. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Name calling online ('thick' is a word that was much bandied around in the 70's). This is not a nice thread.

I think maybe this has been taken too seriously...

Did anyone see me right saying he's a good egg really?? For all the things he does?

This bull about financial stuff is pathetic. Never heard so much crap in my life. Yes he's the breadwinner and I'm a SAHM and what it wrong with that and the thousands of other families like that?

It was a ffs men kind of thread not a 'slag off, he's so thick, I want a divorce' 😂😂😂

I told him this morning when he came back from a call that I'm not equal to him as I don't earn money and he was like wtf are you talking about and then wet his pants.

He would read this thread and say 'oh that bloody parcel' and laugh

You must have missed all the hate and threats online towards women from me.

Enjoying the title update

girlmom21 · 30/11/2022 11:12

I am also a fan of the title change. Well played MNHQ Grin

Back to the original complaint, this seems more like Royal Mail being crap than the OP’s DH being stupid.
