How would you feel, if your DH bought you a bib?

[Bibblunders]

He bought me an adult pelican bib! He thinks it's hilarious.

It says on it "if you can read this, I haven't had my dinner yet". I do drop food on myself, fair enough, but I just think this isn't funny.

And, given that I'm never going to wear it, a total waste of time, because to send it back, he has to parcel it back up and drive some distance to a post office, because we don't have a post office in our town.

I don't know if my sense of humour is lacking, but I feel offended. Maybe that's too strong a word, I don't know, maybe belittled or like he's thinking I'm not sexy, if that makes sense? Maybe I need to lighten up!

YABU - lighten up, it's just a joke

YANBU - I wouldn't like that either

I think considering occasionally dropping food down your front a "flaw" is a bit much!

This mental image 😂

This wouldn’t bother me in the slightest but then I do like a bit of piss taking (both ways) & I don’t get offended by much.

It’s just a joke.

I often spill food down me (combination of clumsiness and shaky hands) and DH laughs about it. He has threatened to buy me a bib and if he ever did I would laugh.

Your DH obviously does not know your sense of humour and that is pretty sad

If he does the washing then you’re being unreasonable.
if you do the washing then he’s being rude.

i say this from the perspective of a parent to a teenage adhder who covers herself in food. The amount of stain remover I get through is ridiculous.

Grateful - I’m always dropping food on myself!

I'm not offended, I said I would find it sad.
I didn't see where OP said it was joke between them.

You've just said I'm being stupid and miserable.

I spill food a lot, including at the table. My hands don't work particularly well - combination of inflammatory arthritis, EDS and fracturing a cervical vertebrae in a car crash 25 years ago.

DP's reaction is saying 'you're going to want to change first' if I'm wearing a top that'll hold onto a stain and it's something with spices or tomatoes. He wouldn't dream of being mean to me about it, much less engage in the spiteful comments other posters are making or buy something out of a specific wish to humiliate me about eating.

Don't do what I did yesterday and find a whole blackberry down there.

Not pretty.

I think that’s different though, the op has confirmed no health issues.

It's clearly a joke, you don't find it funny fair enough but there's no need to be offended or make a massive deal about it.
But yes I agree it's a waste of money and will just end up in the bin!

That's different to OP who has said that she has no health problems.

Hi
go out to dinner with him, wear it.
Then just before dinner arrives,wrap a bin bag round him.

It depends entirely on the state of the relationship. If otherwose good, then it’s a joke. If not, and it’s the latest in a long line of passive aggressive bullshit, then not good. Only OP can tell.

I’d laugh. Call him a dick then wear it every night. It’s hard to get some stains out 😀

Go on the crazy socks website and have a pair of custom boxers made for him. On the front have written, "Can you see my package? No. Neither can my wife when the wrapping is off. Grower, not a shower."

You gotta get even!!! Fight back!

Waste of money and effort for a cheap, shit attempt at a joke. Do Royal Mail not do free home collections in your area?

Then put the bib on and nothing else. Walk into the kitchen, get something nice from the fridge, bend right over even...and then purposely drop Nutella, or honey all over yourself and miss the bib ;)

Obviously it was a joke. But joke presents are almost invariably shit. Who actually wants a joke present?

I'd like to know why a grown woman is constantly dropping food on herself, so he has a point, prove him wrong and stop. Simple

I'd suggest that he returns it, it can be a learning opportunity. It will emphasize that you're upset and don't want him to do that again.

I'd like to know why a grown man thinks upsetting his wife with a shit 'joke' is an okay thing to do.

My husband is always telling me I need a bib, I’m always dropping food down me 😂 I’m sure it’s a bit unattractive to him but he does unattractive things too 😆 if he bought me a bib I’d probably just call him a cheeky bug#er a move on…. Or maybe I would wear it 😂

I would raise the bar. On Etsy, you can buy something to get revenge. www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1121957931/

It's a joke, so just laugh it off. I brought one for my hubby, a blue tartan one, because he also drips food. I brought it as a joke and he took it as a joke....
