Did park run this morning then straight to do a food shop then home. Absolutely starving. Dd was baking some cookies for dh as a surprise so we told him to stay out of the kitchen for a bit. Made myself some brekkie, called through to dh to see if he wanted anything. Hit the roof cos l had already made my own. Told me l am rude. Said l am hungry after running and he said ffs it's all about you.

Hmm it really isn't!!

So made himself and sandwich and not spoken since!

Is he the dick or am l?!

Am off out tonight so don't give a flying one if he wants to ignore me!!

So he was at home while you went on a park run and went and did the supermarket shop. You then made your own breakfast and he didn't want what you had. Then he went mad because you didn't make him what he wanted? Is he disabled in someway? What was he doing all morning and why does he think you should cook his breakfast?

He’s an idiot.

Yeah this.

If I had watched the kid(s) whilst waiting for my DH to come back from a run by himself, in order to have breakfast together, then he told me to stay out of the kitchen, I'd have assumed he was making us both something. Not emerge with food for just himself, and adopt a Pikachu-shocked-face when asked what the hell. Especially if the same day staying home with the kid(s) when he went out for the night too.

These are two people who don't like each other. It's just normal if both of you haven't eaten, are hungry, that you make something for both. It's barely any more effort to making it for one.

All this "my god, I make myself a cup of tea the poor man child not capable of making his own" are missing the point. I can't imagine being in a relationship where everyone just thinks of themselves and acts shocked that they might just be courteous to their partner because it's just decent. We make a tea, or whatever, for both of us because it's just nice, not because either of us are too infantile to flick a kettle switch for ourselves.

He hasn't made me a cup of tea for months - l always make him one - plus every evening meal and lunch at the weekends.

He knew the surprise was cookies because l tipped him off about it.

He was offered breakfast but knew l was v hungry so yes l did put my needs first for once. And yes he looked after our 13 year old - which l do every week whwn he goes to his sports club once a week although tbf she doesn't really need looking after.

Why do people on here bitch about the terms other people use? Like brekkie?

Are they really so rigid and small (yet full of themselves) that they can't allow a stranger a minor difference without piping up to exert their needless opinion?

Lot of that on mumsnet. Annoying.

Yeah literally was typing in a hurry, brekkie slighter quicker to type than breakfast, would never say brekkie just typed it!

But she’ll no doubt be used to this kind of tension between her parents. Correct?

Actually no, we are usually a calm and loving housrhold with a bit of friendly banter thrown in

I couldn’t live like this.
So you made breakfast for yourself without asking what somebody else wanted. Then there’s sulking. Crickey. Great way to spend the weekend.

Raindropskeepfallinonmyhead · 01/03/2025 18:51

Cos he didn't want what l was having

So, you asked him if he wanted some X, he said no, you made yourself X and now he’s cross? Is that what happened? As it’s not entirely clear.

ilovepixie · 01/03/2025 18:45

Seriously! You will make yourself something without asking if anyone else wants one? Selfish and rude!

It works ok in our household. We offer hot drinks but have different time schedules for food in the morning. Absolutely not selfish or rude ,just a different perspective!!

Devianinc · 02/03/2025 00:44

Raindropskeepfallinonmyhead · 01/03/2025 15:41

Sorry she had gone out by this point - it was after he was allowed back in kitchen!

If I was making myself breakfast I’d ask everyone if they’d care to join. Most people say so I don’t know why you didn’t ask your family first. It was a little rude and selfish. I’d never make myself breakfast and not ask who wanted some.

Devianinc · 02/03/2025 00:44

You must have been starving

Well I made myself a bacon sandwich this morning and it never occurred to me to offer husband one ! What a pathetic reason to throw a strop YANBU.

You made a bacon sandwich and didn’t offer any one some. I’d have a mutiny. I wouldn’t dream of just making myself a bacon sandwich. Everyone loves bacon sandwiches.

Oh no did the big man have to wait a bit for some food?! How dare you op.

That’s not the point

I find this strange ~ if I was making a bacon sandwich I would offer anyone else in the house one ?

Devianinc · 02/03/2025 00:56

ilovesushi · 01/03/2025 17:18

It would never cross my mind to break breakfast for anyone else. We all get up and leave the house at slightly different times and everyone fends for themselves. Whoever makes the coffee, leaves enough for the others. My only exception is if I am making pancakes, I'll make them for whomever wants them.

Couldn't bear to be in a situation where people are getting arsey with me for not putting their cereal in a bowl.

I understand what you’re saying but I don’t think applies here. It sounds like a typical weekend thing. Getting out for work doesn’t count. Then it’s everybody on their own

Do you act like he doesn’t exist.. I’m going to compare this with me going to get takeout and I got myself a filet mignon with a mushroom wine sauce and truffled fries with creamed spinach only for myself even though I knew you were home. I just didn’t think of you and and I’m eating this all by myself. I don’t get that. Your a family.

Devianinc · 02/03/2025 01:05

And when I make bacon I make the whole package so family can munch when they like

Devianinc · 02/03/2025 01:11

HelenWheels · 01/03/2025 16:20

but why is he making a fuss
she offered?
if he was that bothered he could have asked her

After she ate

Seems like a petty reason to be hitting the roof over! I’m quite agreeable and easy to get along with though so not sure what most other people would think

Ok, so if you hungry and couldn’t go in the kitchen for whatever reason and then your wife comes in the said kitchen and makes herself breakfast without asking him and knows he can’t go in the kitchen but ask as a after thought. It sounds like already have problems anyway bc she’s out for the night and doesn’t care. I’ve been there too. But if you did care you would have asked

Not something worth hitting the roof over, not that big a deal. He’s not going to waste away and had all morning to make himself breakfast while she was out anyway

As long as it wasn’t you that was hungry

Mayamemsaab1 · 02/03/2025 01:53

I wouldn’t blame someone else for being hungry

Devianinc · 02/03/2025 02:00

I think I have a chip on my shoulder bc when my kids were little and I was running around like a maniac my pos husband would go to the deli and get himself a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a roll and eat it in his car. He didn’t think anything was wrong with that. It was big deal, he’s getting himself a big breakfast and not asking his family if we wanted any and we saw him eating it in the car. The big fat pig. I actually hates his guts now and so do my kids. What a se,fish piece of garbage. I’m sorry. I’m definitely acting biased and that’s not your fault. Oh, and we saw him eating. He’s a pig and will always be a pig. I’m sure you had oat nuts and that doesn’t count.

Yeah, i'd have cooked for everyone.

I'd never have considered stuffing my own face without asking if someone I was living with /married to/ or even if they were a friend round for a coffee if they wanted something If I was making it.

It's really bad manners to not offer.
