Well am i? DH certainly thinks so, but then I think he's a rude bad mannered oaf...

[moodlumthehoodlum]

Its not a particularly meaningful thing, but I cooked chicken this evening, and as he was serving himself, he took a bit, started to eat it, and then spat it out literally in front of me. Apparently it was "too tough", so he couldn't possibly eat it.

I was really pissed off with this, because it was a small bit of chicken (as I write this, I am recognising that it is all a bit pathetic) and he could have just eaten it, and then said something like, thanks but..

Instead he spits it out. And then, when I say that I find that really rude, and if the DCs did it, I would tell them off.

He just doesn't get that I find this rude? He thinks that I should understand that he shouldn't have to eat it because he didn't like it.

Well, am i? gggrrrrr

OMG OP your dh sounds childish and oafish at the same time....

lol at some of the suggestions....especially the one about cooking chicken every night...lol...

OP, how long have you been maried...and is he often like that? If so...I wouldn 't put up with it, lol

YANBU - he is extremely rude.

cook him chicken tonight and then mash it up.

If he acts like a child, treat him like one imo.

gonna have to be the dissenter then. i think yabu. if he had spat it out and then slated it as being disgusting or something equally critical and had a go at you when you'd gone to the trouble of cooking i'd back you up.
but if he just happened to get a stringy or fatty bit then i can understand because i simply couldn't bring myself to swallow fatty bit of meat, the texture just turns my stomach, so i too may have been forced to spit it out.
although i am far more careful to avoid such fatty pieces of meat and far more subtle when removing them from my mouth if necessary.

orm yes you have to do that, infact I'm going to cook badly tonight and see if DH will spit his food out, just to do what Orm said

Oh and YANBU

LMAO at these ideas.

DH is actually out working late tonight, so he shall mainly be eating cereal tonight on return.

Fizzpop - that is exactly it. I don't want him to eat something he doesn't like - but I do want him to have slightly nicer manners about it..

As you can see its still festering in hoodlum house.

Sorry about your dh's manners but SO glad you posted this. Some of the replies are hilarious!

I know. I think Orm wins for most amusing.

OP - i think you should take to humming/singing "i feel like chicken tonight" all the time

Do not cook for him for the next month
