To say 'make your own breakfast' to Husband

[OneThingAfterTheOther]

We do manage to share the load of chores as both work FT and one high schooler DC to drop/pick at times from activities.

But with DC home with school exams , I found myself doing all the cooking and washing straight for the past 4 days after a weekend that was equally busy with dinner out with friends of DH on a Sunday late night.

I think with DC home , it meant making 4 meals a day on time whilst normally we do late meals and easy meals while working. We were both worried about ordering out as DC had a bug just last week and we didnt want to chance it with exams with takeout food etc.

I was also tutoring DC as requested to by DH on a subject I am more familiar /expert in for his exam this week.

DC off to school this morning and I went for a mini lie down before logging into WFH. Was getting myself eggs and toast when DH goes ' Can I get some toast and eggs too' I had previously this morning told him I am exhausted after the past four days and do have work today just like he does. And can he make the lunch today, for which DC will be home for. To which he appeared to just smirk and laugh it off ' OH im in charge of lunch eh'

I snapped when he asked for breakfast and said get your own breakfast rudely. He was shocked as that is a rare for me to do. At worst I would say ' I am so sorry, no time, office call in two mins, here have half mine' etc

AIBU to lose it and snap ? I didnt feel I could snap when DC around on study leave the past week, but it building up a bit

DH said ' but I did car pool run this morning and groceries' I have said this a gazillion times but I can order from Asda/tesco the weekly shop and do a better job of it without picking only markdowns and almost expired items half the time. And the car pool drop is two minutes by car after I sorted DC ready to go.

Sickness is caused by viruses or bacteria or other pathogens. Not by mums feeling tired and talking about their feelings anonymously.

At 16 I could certainly operate a washing machine. I could make my own breakfast and lunch. Don't think I ever made a full meal for my family either - but I cooked my own dinners a lot after a certain age. My mum was a single parent and she worked so we didn't eat all at the same time

I don't think my wee brother ever cooked when he lived at home but when he moved out he used to come to my mums once a week and cook her a meal. For years

I take my mum out as much as I can because I appreciate her and I maybe didn't appreciate her enough when I was in my teens

I actually went veggie at 16 and my stock lunch for school was rolls and cheese with green pepper. Took me two minutes to make

Unfortunately, I think it’s worse than that.
I don’t think there’s necessarily anything wrong with people’s EI. It looks to me that people enjoy having a go BECAUSE they realise she’s at her wits end.
Sad to say. 😢
