To LTB over chips

Tonight was DD’s parents evening. I’m sick with a cold and feverish, but I still made the family dinner before I went, leaving instructions to DH and DS to reheat a portion each, and to make oven chips to go with the chicken and veg. Came home with DD at 8.30 - no chips. They only made enough for the two of them, nothing for DD (I don’t eat chips).

Bloody selfish men. And to think they both pride themselves of being feminist allies 🙄

Were you planning to reheat oven chips or do you mean they'd eaten them all?

Meh, I would not have left the house if I was in a state like that, in the first place.

You were going to reheat oven chips? I'm with them. Unless they ate them all, which is rude.

Husband should have gone to parents' evening. You're ill.

If they ate earlier, it makes sense for them to do fresh chips when your daughter got home. It only takes a few minutes

If you were ill why didn’t dh go?
why did dd go to parents evening?
were there no chips left at all? Even uncooked?
sooo many questions!

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 20/04/2026 21:37

I think if you were feverish DH should have gone to the parents evening and you stayed home!

How old is the DS in this equation?

But very selfish not to leave any chips for dd

I think the most selfish one is the parent who went to parents even sick and probably shared their germs with the teacher and half the other class parents………

Who "makes" oven chips?

I might leave DP over the fact that I just went to get the last of my chocolate bar from the fridge, and it had gone. I'd been saving it for my favourite TV show. A sackable offence in anyone's book.

I'd be more inclined to LTB on the basis he let you cook dinner and go out to parents evening when you're sick instead of doing it himself

Tourmalines · 20/04/2026 22:40

Ridiculous post . Yea. Just LTB .

Error404FucksNotFound · 20/04/2026 22:41

Selfish arses. What on earth was their excuse?

SD1978 · 20/04/2026 22:43

And why couldnt her father go to parents evening? If you were that unwell all day, where did he step up?
