DP is at work and im stuck in his dad's house and im really hungry as i last ate at midday. im ravenous and cant really go through his fridge for food as im a guest. but it doesnt look as if dinner is going to be cooked and i dont want to ask.

as im carrying his grandchild he should feed me yes?

i doubt he is thinking about it haha. football is on and that's occupying his brain!

ah i wish i could use the dog line! he doesnt have a nice food stash though, he has a fine array of pickled foods, cup a soups and potatoes! oh and some strange thinds called faggots in the freezer which DP showed me earlier. i dont know what these are but they sound revolting...

What's rude about saying 'i'm going to out for some bits to eat. Can i get you anything?'

scottishmummy · 17/06/2010 20:35

no food for 7+hours
fil is watching footy
sounds a right ole laugh

1pregheadpumpkin · 17/06/2010 20:36

faggots are gorgeous
And some thickly buttered bread for mopping up the gravy.

scottishmummy · 17/06/2010 20:39

you posted 19:38 im really hungry as i last ate at midday. im ravenous

thats 7+ hours

did you really sit 7hours hoping for dinner

Morloth · 17/06/2010 20:41

How odd, just get something to eat if you are hungry - either ask, or go get it from kitchen yourself, or order takeaway or go for a walk to the shops.

How old are you exactly?

GenevieveHawkings · 17/06/2010 20:43

Why can't you just go home?

Or are you and your unborn child being kept captive there in some bizarre "Rosemary's Baby"- style ritual.

All very odd.

scottishmummy · 17/06/2010 20:43

how old?if old enough to get up duff old enough to sort out some grub

1pregheadpumpkin · 17/06/2010 20:44

thatsnotmymonkey in answer to your question. DP lives with dad. dad very rarely in the house. not visiting him, visiting DP. we all just do our own thing really. he's not likely to take offense to be honest. he left me to it earlier to go catch some rays in the garden so i came in here to mumsnet some time away.

radiator lady, dont live with him no. and im not grumpy, just preggers and missing DP. i always get narky when im bored, coupled with hunger. and i wasnt going to shout at you. it doesnt really translate well over the internet.

ronx i used exactly that line, seriously, i walked in to living room and said, im going to the shop, would you like me to get you anything? he looked as if it were an alien concept and like he wanted to watch tellyso off i went.

and scottish mummy, here is better than home, even if it doesnt sound like it. DPs dad is a nice chap just distracted most of the time, and here i get cuddles from DP as opposed to angry parents. as you've probably guessed we're quite young. you're right, i should be more assertive to be honest. im just very quiet and dont like to put anyone out. sorry i got stroppy with you.

If my sons girlfriend turned up at my house and then went and sat in a bedroom on her own for 7 hours I'm not sure I'd be offering to cook her dinner either!
Be a bit more social. If you dont know him that well, then talk to him and get to know him! Its only polite if you are going to camp out in his house

thatsnotmymonkey · 17/06/2010 20:45

pregpumpkin c'mon whats the story, why are you still there? I really don't get it, sounds like you are having a crap time. I would go home and stuff my face.

1pregheadpumpkin · 17/06/2010 20:47

oh honestly, i wasnt hungry immediately after lunch was i? 6pm or roundabout was when i started to need food.

and im 18. and dont want to go home. like it here.

Morloth · 17/06/2010 20:48

Which is fine, but it isn't actually his job to feed you is it? It is your job.

scottishmummy · 17/06/2010 20:48

next time bring some money/cards get a delivery.spend some time with fil.talk about the baby etc

is home really so bad?
dont you and boyfriend live together

1pregheadpumpkin · 17/06/2010 20:49

i've not been in room for 7 hours either, since 5 cause he was sunbathing and i was alone anyway.

im here because im visiting DP for couple of days. its not crap, i was just hungry. im happy enough.

it seems many arent reading the entire thread

I think people are reading the thread but are having a hard time getting their heads around it TBH, I know I am.

1pregheadpumpkin · 17/06/2010 20:51

i cant afford take-out. i have spend a good couple of hours with him today before he went to the pub and left me and then went out to sunbathe and left me again. he just likes his own space.

no, we dont live together, im pretty young and live at home, im just here for DP really.

OP posts:
thatsnotmymonkey · 17/06/2010 20:51

well, I guess you know to pack a meal next time, or get your DP to broach it with his dad-

"Dad, pregpumpkin is going to stay here while I go out to work, so she can cook you both dinner if you like?" or "Dad, pregpumpkin is a ravenous pregnant woman who will need to eat a big meal later, have you got much in?"

You OK otherwise? I mean everything OK at your parents house?

Marjee · 17/06/2010 20:53

Op yanbu, I'm exactly the same! I'd have probably sat for 7 hours hungry without saying anything!

Morloth · 17/06/2010 20:54

"left me again"

It sounds almost as if you think your DP's Dad is babysitting you.
