He didn’t go to Tesco?

[purpleparroty]

I’ve been ill with the flu for the past few days and am in the worst of it, asked DH if he could pop to the shops and get some dinner in, and food for dc over the weekend, as we have nothing in and I thought he would stop at Tesco on his way home from work.

He decided to go to our village newsagents which sells no fresh food and spent 50 FUCKING QUID on crap. He got unbranded frozen ready meals which no one in our house would touch with a barge pole. The rest went on crisps / chocolate / ice cream / pot noodles. He didn’t even get bread (which they actually sell). Because i’ve not been happy about this he’s now gone in a mood and said he’s not bothering again. AIBU to be psised off he didn’t go to tesco and get real food the kids actually eat and not just chocolate and crisps. And now he’s moaning saying he didn’t know he wasn’t ‘allowed’ to go to the village shop and that i should have told him. I shouldn’t fucking have to tell people to use their brain.

What did his mum do?

Lucky, mine stocks fags, tobacco, energy drinks and tramp juice, and anything else is brands you've never heard of, stale, out of date or just revolting even if technically within date. It frequently has half the shelves bare and I swear is a front for something else.

But then I live on a council estate in a rural area! Noooooot jealous... noooo not at all.

holy trinity, i always prefer the supermarkets for value and the village newsagents in Lestershire were omg on prices etc i think it was only one that was ok and that was due to reduced prices

@TENSsion

You don’t seem know what the word “incapable” means.

Only because you have a different definition of food shop. One that is used to defend lazy men. Funny how his food shop and his wife's food shop would look so different. Why is that?

If I was unwell enough to be in bedridden and the kids and DH were out of the way and sorted for the night without hassling me, I would let this one go. Sounds like an awful illness OP. Hopefully no one else catches it. Hope you feel better soon.

I mean, going down the road of eating crap - if he got a few pots of Pot Noodle or any other instant noodles, some frozen veg and maybe bread and milk - it would have been sort of ok? And nowhere near £50. The guy is a MORON.

Because he is a man who maliciously went out off his way to upset his kids and wife lmao

Because they’re different people.

It is possible for a couple to cut each other a bit of slack now and again, you know.

Not everything needs to be the basis of creating a war zone.

Why are you talking in such dramatic and exaggerated language? Like you telling me to "calm down" in your last post. Can you not just have a discussion? We've established some women like yourself will accept minimum standards from men, crack on. Some of us value ourselves more than that and we'll crack on.

Something similar happened to me whilst I was pregnant with my twins. I asked my husband to buy fish and chips with salt and vinegar. The fish and chips were so raw and awful. I moaned for a few seconds about them. Hubby got very angry and didn't talk to me properly the entire rest of the pregnancy!

Yes that's what posters are arguing. He's a Machiavellian genius who orchestrated a shitty food shop to upset his wife and kids.

Put the drink down hen.

Haha another mums bet classic “put the drink down” hen 🤣🤣 I’m 7 months pregnant and havnt had a drink for over 15 months HEN

You’re saying any women on here who would be anything less than nuclear about this deserves to have miserable relationships and lives.

I never told you to “calm down”. I told you to stop being rude to other women and trying to imply they were stupid.

Why the fuck should she have to, when she's ill in bed? Shouldn't her h be competent to shop?

Are you sure they're not Cook! frozen ready meals? My village shop sells them and they're great. Would explain the high price too!

Did I? Quote me please.

But she’s a feminist 🙄

She’s a glass half empty kinda girl or should I say hen

@TeaNtoast25 And yes you did say calm down😂😂😂

You would be ok with your kids eating crisps and chocolate for dinner simply because their mother is unwell when they have a perfectly healthy dad around?

U have me and another poster mixed up, I did say calm down yea your acting irrational

He bought some food … it’s only for a few days. Pick your battles.

Tomorrow, as it's Women's Day, I am going to do the laundry by chucking them in the washer and not switching it on.
It will be ok because
I tried
Nobody died
People can do without clean clothes for a weekend.
It's a first world problem.

You’re quite right. I’ve not interacted with you before at all on this thread.

So why did you state I’d told you to “calm down”?

What??? I absolutely don't have you mixed up. I'm irrational? The sheer brass neck of you 😂😂"I never said that, oh yeah well I did say it but but but..."
