to refuse to make dh a cup of tea

My dh has just asked me to make him a cup of tea.

I reminded him that I made the last cup for both of us. He said that prior to this, he had made 2 cups of tea, so now I have to.

AIBU to think that regardless of how many cups of tea he made before, if I made the last cup, it's not my turn now.

I can honestly say I have never argued with my wife over this in the last 25 years.

I just do one for her when I want one and she does one for me when she wants one.

Agree with 2rebecca on this.

gosh....i was being serious...didn't realize this was a joke thread....

Reality - exactly!! Tea making is a designated DH job and if well trained, know better than to suggest otherwise .

Actually I prefer to make my own. DH doesn't put enough milk in my coffee and makes my tea too strong (boke) but I don't mention it for fear of upsetting him or putting him off making me a cup in future.

Don't you have a maid to do this sort of stuff for you?

Yabu, He should not even have to ask!

Has he actually specified what size cup? When Dh is being lazy in the tea making dept I make him a cuppa but one from the DCs toy kitchen set. Makes me laugh anyway.

DH almost always makes the tea/coffee in our house. I will make them if he looks tired and in need of spoiling . But obviously he makes them better than me .

How does the tea system work with nappy changes? My DP is rubbish at doing nappy changes and I'm usually halfway through one before I realise I should have insisted he do it.

Should I refuse to make him any tea until he changes a nappy?

YABU are you really THIS bored?

LucyEllensmummy · 02/03/2009 15:56

MY DP makes me a cuppa when he comes home, i will WAIT for him to make me tea because he makes it so much better than i do!

NormaJeanBaker · 02/03/2009 16:02

What are you doing drinking tea at that time of night? Ask him to make you a mai tai instead. Whatever that is.

purpleduck · 02/03/2009 16:15

Your dh is obviously passive aggressive - it could turn violent.
Leave him asap

YANBU. Another vote for divorce here. Make sure you get a lifetimes worth of teabags in alimony.
