to think that actually, DP is the twat, not me

[jendaisy]

Just a bit of a rant really.

I am 30 weeks pg, but HUGE, people are horrified when I tell them I still have 10 weeks to go as I look ready to pop.

My back hurts and I am constantly knackered, which has been loads worse today due to the mugginess and the heat.

I had to go into town after DD finished school today, and was going to then take her to Pizza Hut at around 6pm before dropping her off with her father. I told DP that this was the plan, and asked if he wanted to come, and he said no because he hates Pizza Hut. Got to say, not my number one choice of eaterie either but this was about DD, not me.

So anyway, got back at about 7.30pm, feeling dead on my feet, I really did feel like I was going to fall into a heap due to lugging this bump around in the heat all day. While I had been gone DP had hoovered the whole house and tidied up, obviously much appreciated by me. The first thing DP said to me was 'I'm starving.' I said that as he well knew, I had already eaten. Brief and fairly pleasant conversation about other topics followed. Then he told me how starving he was again, and I said 'Look, my back is killing me and I can barely stand up, if you want something to eat then go and get something'. To which he replied 'You're such a twat'. Then stormed off and slammed the door to one of the living rooms and I haven't seen him since. I think his rationale is that because he had hoovered I should cook him dinner. Is he BU or am I?

he's being a twat. if he really was starving he would have fed himself.

My dh was hinting earlier tonight.

He's ended up feeding himself.

He's had cheese, crackers, pickled onion, beetroot and a big bowl of cereal.
I think he's still hungry. He's sighing, sitting in the armchair.

I am however fed up of always being the one to sort out food. He's a grown man, big and ugly enough to feed himself.

Good for you!
I would have been tempted to chuck a tin of beans and some bread at him .
Sounds like he has eaten now tho.
Is he likely to apologise?

Are you sure he was actually asking for food, as in asking you to prepare it?

DP and I often say "I'm starving" in conversation, in which case you may have come across as a tad snappy?

You need to talk.

I struggled to feel too concerned as we have a chippy, a Chinese and an Indian within 1 mins walking distance, as well as a Co-op shop. Also lots of food in the freezer, and a microwave. But it's the principle with him, even if he had a microwave meal, I would have to press the bloody buttons. Aargh!

LMAO Jareth...I didn't think of that but bloody good idea!

The house is 4 storeys and has a stupid amount of stairs so is not a 5 min job....I did it a few days ago and then spent the rest of the day in a lot of pain flat on my back as I completely buggered my back up.

No Snala, he is deffo not going to apologise.

He will sulk for the rest of the evening.

He will probably still be sulking in the morning.

And will be sulking even worse when he realises I am going to be going out all day as it's a friend's 40th birthday, and he will have to cook for himself again

Yep Cadelaide, I am 100% aure that he was expecting me to cook for him.

If your out all day tomorrow I would leave some ingredients(sp?) and step by step instructions.
Eg
One microwave meal and a note saying
'read the back!'
or a take way menu and a phone, with note saying 'dial number, place order!'

jen, don't do hoovering, especially stairs! Your DP should be doing it as a matter of course, and cooking your dinner for you! (realised she was spoiled with first pg )
