to not want dp to use the childrens plates

[biddysmama]

when he makes something to eat?

we have plenty of regular plates just not as small as the dc's ones

its really getting on my nerves now, he doesnt see whats wrong...

they are the childrens! use the grown up ones! he sued ds's cups when he makes a brew as well, why a grown man wants to drink out of a cup the says "worlds greatest 8 year ol" i dont know!

Does it matter?

what diffence does it make?

you need to work out why this bothers you I mean why does it matter

YABU

what difference does it make ?

maybe he wants a small plate

I love dd's melamine plates for toast etc. In fact she 'inherited' my Noddy plates Wouldn't use the cups as I like a good big mug of tea.

it bothers me because they are the childrens plastic ones... if he uses them all i have to wash them up cos i cant really give 14 month old dd a proper plate

Lol.

I think they are just family plates and cups right? I mean if the dc are not fussed and saying, daddy is using my cup, etc. Really I wouldn't bebothered. I don't think dh ever used the playmobil mugs etc but I don't think it would really have bothered me. I mean they cleaned anyway before the next use in the same way as other plates.

Maybe you need to get him a special set of his own?

He should wash up after himself!

oh I see they're plastic.

Just hide them

tbh i'm pregnant and hot and everythings bothering me today

thanks, i'm just crazy lol

Is it that much of a drama to wash a plate?
What's he having on them? Is a little rinse not enough?

He can use them, if he washes them up afterwards. Or if it means you have run out of plastic plates, he supervises your DD eating from a normal plate and is responsible for it not breaking.

Or you could just get some more plastic plates. Ikea do very cheap ones, Asda have started doing copycat Ikea ones.

Just buy more plastic plates....

Is all this angst really over a bit of extra washing up ...?

Maybe you need to find other things to wind you up

i keep buying new ones... it annoys me that a grown man is sat there eating off a pink princess plate instead of a regular one!

lol i love this "i'm the size of an elephant and its your fault" stage of pregnancy

men rarely get past a mental age of 8 anyway so your dh feels at home with that particular mug/cup

buy him some short trousers

We use all the plates etc but for some reason wouldnt use any of ds's mugs (he has about 6 mugs, he is only 3 fgs!)

YANBU
That would annoy me too! But I am a bit weird. DH just tries to ignore me most of the time.

YANBU

My DH does this too. What annoys me is that DD sees 'her' plate and then DH wonders why she expects the food to be for her, and she cries when he doesnt share.

Ahh I missed that you are pregnant - in that case I take it all back, you are definitely not BU

I guess missus the OP is probably more annoyed that the kids can't use "their" plates, and will have to use adult plates.

Seriously?

Hmm must have this open longer than I realized! Only had one response when I typed in mine!
