Hey mn!
I have just read some other posters complaining about their partners wow there seems to be a lot. I don't want that to cloud my judge ie being angry on their behalf and therefore my dh is wrong.
So I am asking here.
My baby who is 9months woke at 830am and hasn't napped today. She fought her last two naps and I have wasted an hr each time trying to get baby to nap. She usually naps but the last few days she seems more active. With no naps I have found it really impacts my night when baby doesn't nap, she has a bad night. So I have gotten ready. Dh who works from home popped downstairs and asked how day is going. I said its been full on she hasnt napped! He looked at her and said "cheeky" she laughed!
I said I was going a drive as she will nap in the car. I said I was thinking of getting a Starbucks via drive thru so I am not just driving around. At least it'll give me a destination! Then I thought ohh i could get a McDonald's! That'll sort my dinner out. Baby will nap in car. Dh then told me that was weird. I'm a grown women. And then.... wait for it... what about him? I offered to bring him mcdonalds and he said no. I then laughed and said you are a grown man I'm sure you can sort dinner. He stormed away saying "dont treat me like a child!".
Am i wrong?! He has never acted like this!!!!!!
What would you do??

Enjoy your McDonalds, I’d highly recommend their new spicy nuggets.

I'd be getting him a Happy Meal after him behaving like that.

I mean she did offer, it says so in the OP............

ReadingCrimeFiction · 14/04/2026 16:10

Do you usually cook dinner? Do you usually eat dinner together, no matter who cooks?

Because I am the dinner person in this house. So ignition cant be assed, dh would step up or we would get take out but I would never just casually say im getting macdonalds without offering to everyone else or checking dh is ok to do his own thing.

My reading of it was you only offered to bring him some after he asked? Not before.
