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??

I love Taco Bell, and my partner really rates their chicken wrap above a McDonald’s one so maybe give it a go after all 🌮🌯

Our local KFC is rank. The franchise is owned by someone who is part of a very large family so all of the staff are people in or known to that family. They are not given the job because they are any good at it.

Local rumour is that it wont be around much longer or rather, that KFC will force a buy out of the franchise. The one in the next town over is fantastic. Same with Maccies, the three in our town are all owned by the same franchisee and are all utter shite. But less than 5 miles away is another which is great!

Taco Bell is mainly franchise run I believe, so I guess these places are all hit and miss.

If upon hearing how baby has been during the day, he should’ve offered to drive baby around after he finished work, so OP could have a little break and would OP like him to pick up something up for her.

then second best is what OP described.
