To not get up and do DHs dinner when he gets in

FlamboMango · 22/09/2023 01:14

Full disclosure, I have a lovely life. I work 2 days but the rest of the time am at home, school aged children, cleaner and dog walker, no financial worries. I earn a pittance and on my working days DH does dinner, school runs, activities whilst trying to WFH. DH earns hundreds of thousands a year and supports our lifestyle 100%, my salary basically buys 2 food shops a month.

Weds and Thurs are DHs client days, so he goes into office then entertains clients after. Often home late those days but always wants to eat dinner. I generally cook and plate his up then he when he gets in I get up, make him a cup of tea, heat his dinner up.

Tonight we had pizza so I had to get off my arse at 21.30 when he got in and cook a pizza. I can’t be bothered. My days are very restful but the afternoons - school
runs, dinner, activities, hustling kids to shower and teeth clean, packed lunches, cleaning kitchen, bed time etc…. By 8pm when I’m sitting down I want to stay sitting down not get up and cook pizza.

AIBU to say if he gets in after 830
he heats up his own tea and I don’t have to move?

Another one claiming they earn hundreds of thousands? What, Rupees? What country are you in? What does he do?

I think MumsNet should check this poster out because what she writes is so absurd it doesn't merit a response. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tiredhotmess · 24/09/2023 18:44

YerArseInParsley · 24/09/2023 20:08

I'd say go ahead and sit on ur a-rse BUT go out and earn more money to keep yourself.

See how that works for u, troll lol

Genuinely if my hubby did all of that I would have no issue, even cooking a meal from scratch! We both work full time, I do absolutely everything - kids, all the housework, the dog stuff, ferrying to clubs etc. even on a day off the doesn’t help!

Why the hell do you put up with this?

wizzyderbyshire · 25/09/2023 08:03

Is this one of those Chat Bot generated things designed to get on everyone’s last nerve? You have a cleaner, a dog walker and you sit on your bum for most of the day. Your DH does more than you do when he wfh. And you are whining about warming up a pizza when he facilitates you having the ability to do naff all by working so hard (and doing stuff in the house!)
yes, you are BU. Very bloody unreasonable.

Wishbone436 · 25/09/2023 08:11

I ask myself this many, many times a day!

Thexwife · 25/09/2023 17:10

not real post

ThelmaBorden · 25/09/2023 19:22

no of course it isn’t unreasonable, silly, ask him, when he has cooked his pizza
to mix you a dirty martini, come massage your feet, run you a scented bath, turn back the silken sheets, prepared to disport himself after his own warm shower, ready to pleasure you (after he has locked up, loaded the dishwasher, washing machine, breadmaker, set the table for breakfast, etc etc etc., as you need your share of adoration, unreasonable? pah !

what is a reverse ?

It means the OP is really the one who’s coming home late and wants their pizza cooked for them

Doone22 · 25/09/2023 19:43

You poor drudge!
Divorce him immediately

Bumblefuzz · 25/09/2023 22:11

This has to be a reverse!

Ilikepinacoladass · 25/09/2023 22:14

Just cook something you can keep warm in the oven, rather than doing a separate meal? Does he really want to be eating oven pizza regularly anyway, they are not very good for you.

I don't think it matters how much he earns, you are not his slave. Working 2 days and looking after children isn't exactly living the life of luxury I think it's fair enough you're tired by 9.30pm tbf.

...oh, you're serious? Oh well. Must tell my other half the new definition of 'slave'.

‘course not, her ribs ache too much

I don’t know why people don’t think someone can’t be very rich and very lazy.

I have worked in the NHS in mental health for many years and met every type of person and heard every kind of story. People still surprise me. It really does take all sorts.

The OP could not be genuine. But she definitely could be. People are unpredictable and strange.

Please tell me your reply is a joke?!

Are you serious ? Her DH works his arse off while she lives a pretty nice life, almost entirely provided by his salary. He works late two days a week and she can’t get off her arse to cook him a decent meal when he gets home ? No excuse for just bunging a pizza in to cook when she’s got all day to prepare something she can just put in the oven for them on those days when he gets home late, and serve up with a salad and some nice bread or similar. It’s not rocket science. Wonder how she’d feel about such meanness of spirit if the long working hours and stress started to affect his health. I think this is a joke.

Palmolive22 · 26/09/2023 13:52

🤣🤣😂😂. I’m guessing you wrote this because your day is so calm you needed a bit of something to do.. reading all the responses you knew you’d get for this piss take post fits the bill!
