Yoghurt Gate - WIBU?

MullerCornerMorons · 18/01/2023 08:16

With all the famine and BS going on in the world now, I’ll start off by apologising for the absolute ridiculousness of this AIBU. Just light hearted to see opinions…we have a demanding toddler so are constantly tired and grumpy. Get ready for it…

Our rule book toddler has a yoghurt and fruit in the mornings before nursery, I knew yesterday when I left for work there was ONE left.

Finished work got him for nursery (DH works lates) After his dinner last night he wanted a yoghurt, I said no as there’s only one and you’ll be sad if you don’t have a yoghurt in the morning, took some convincing cus, you know, toddlers!

on DH way home from work he called & asked if we needed anything from the shop, I said well probably yoghurts, he said no we have yoghurts. Before going to bed it became apparent DH had eaten said magical yoghurt before he went to work.

Cut to this morning! toddler has thrown a ‘Tom Cruise on set’ style fit due to the lack of yoghurts in this establishment.

DH came upstairs to me ranting that I shouldn’t have promised a yoghurt without checking, and even though he said there were yoghurts I should have checked in case he’d eaten it and didn’t remember - because how should he know right?

YNBU - DH should be aware of his actions like a grown up without input from his wife and, moreover should also be living in constant fear of the day there is no yoghurts

YABU - I should have checked when he said there were yoghurts as how can a poor bloke recall if he’s eaten the last yoghurt…who can be expected to recall 8 hours ago

Finally (if you made it this far) - this is only meant to be lighthearted, DH is not abusive and is a truly wonderful man but it does infuriate me he has no forethought at all and when things go wrong it’s my fault for not stepping in…

Wow

Merryoldgoat · 18/01/2023 08:18

If I ask DH to get yoghurts he gets them. Does having extra amount to a problem?

Beees · 18/01/2023 08:19

To be honest all I took from that post is that your husband is not a truly wonderful man no matter how lighthearted you think the matter is.

Confusedteacher · 18/01/2023 08:20

YANBU and he is a dick.

OneFrenchEgg · 18/01/2023 08:22

I dont get it. You knew there was only one - did you think dh had bought more? Or you had not realised there were loads? I get you might be on a really tight budget maybe and buying more would be a stretch but it seems a bit of a weird one.

SparkyBlue · 18/01/2023 08:22

We had similar hot chocolategate the other day so i empathise

GoAgainstNicki · 18/01/2023 08:23

Why didn’t he just buy the bloody yoghurts when you asked him too?

Why would he see that there’s one yoghurt left and still eat it despite knowing your child has a yoghurt and fruit in the morning?

He clearly lacks common sense

user1471517900 · 18/01/2023 08:24

I blame the toddler.

Not really, but this will just break up the inevitable "oh my goodness your DH is abusive/a dickhead" posts

She didn't think he'd brought more, she asked him too when he was at the shop and he said no despite knowing he'd eaten the last yoghurt before going to work.

It could all have been avoided by him buying more yoghurts as the OP asked but he apparently knew better.

WandaWomblesaurus · 18/01/2023 08:25

Definitely sounds like he's having an affair OP. Was there yogurt on his collar? Check his laptop. You'll find websites like Muller, Yoplait and references to FroYo.

I'm so sorry.

😂😂😂

Snugglemonkey · 18/01/2023 08:25

He is a dick for not getting yoghurts, for eating the last one when your child would want it and for reacting as he did.

newnamethanks · 18/01/2023 08:26

YANBU OP, these little things can push you over the edge, having to do everyone's thinking for them as well as your own. Have yourself a proper tantrum too, it won't help but you'll feel better.

WandaWomblesaurus · 18/01/2023 08:27

Toddler Tom Cruise has made the whole set unworkable. He's going to start throwing things next. If I were you I would try and get some kind of statement signed in crayola regarding Yogurtgate. This must never happen again.

It's the patriarchy I'm afraid.

ImBlueDab · 18/01/2023 08:27

So no point asking your dh anything as you're supposed to double check his answers anyway. Your dh was a knob and is blaming you as he knows he's a knob

orangegato · 18/01/2023 08:27

Why would having one yogurt in mean he can’t buy more? He’s a weird control freak.

ThinWomansBrain · 18/01/2023 08:28

if you use that much yoghurt, why not buy big tubs instead of individual pots?

Lemonyfuckit · 18/01/2023 08:29

Clearly your DH IBU.

MirabelMax · 18/01/2023 08:30

This has really made me laugh. It's launched me right back to parenting toddlers - the days when a lack of a yoghurt could really throw out an entire day.

Anyway, he is unreasonable. He knows he is but can't admit it. I predict from now on you'll always have a massive stash of yogurts. Then one day your kid will randomly stop eating Yogurt and you'll have to throw them all away.

ButtOutBobsMum · 18/01/2023 08:30

LTB and the toddler and live in a yoghurt-free utopia!

TaRaDeBumDeAy · 18/01/2023 08:30

I voted YABU but this is half of one and 6 dozen of the other.

When he said no to getting more yoghurts why didn't you tell him there was only one left?

When he went to eat it why didn't he see there was only one and knew there were no more, because, he didn't buy more?

Why doesn't he know the kid has a yoghurt every morning?

LordSugarTits · 18/01/2023 08:30

Ugh, completely your DH's fault.

Just buy more yoghurts.

Bookworm333 · 18/01/2023 08:32

YANBU. Hopefully lessons were learned and he'd buy the yoghurt next time!

If it makes you feel better my OH has a terrible sweet tooth and has been known to hover up DC's biscuits etc without thinking about who they belong to. I think it's just a "that looks nice and I'm hungry" reaction. Wonder if your DH is feeling doubly annoyed as he was feeling all virtuous for eating a yoghurt rather than something less healthy and now it's turned into a high profile yoghurtgate rather than a discreet snack! 🤣

LookItsMeAgain · 18/01/2023 08:33

Does he have eyes? When he went and ate the last of the yogurts, did it actually click in his brain that he was eating the last of the yogurts and he needed to either add them to the shopping list or get more when he was out?

He's a adult too and could easily have bought more even if you did have some in the fridge, they were clearly going to be eaten at some point.

I do hope you treated his tantrum like you would any 5yr olds tantrum as he was behaving like a very little child!
