He's always moaning!

I'm currently on maternity leave, 2 kids, and a husband who will find anything to moan about! Like today, he's phoned me on his dinner hour. All I get is, don't do this to my sandwiches next time. Don't buy this next time. I don't like this what you've given me today. I run round all day and manage to get his works dinner done everyday! Would you be a bit miffed about this? What would you say?

I hope you haven't made his butties for tomorrow op. Or if you have, I hope you've spat in them 😂

I once let the cat lick an exes sarnies because he'd pissed me off. True story.

@AlanAlAl

Don't say anything. Just don't make his lunch anymore 🤷‍♀️
And when he phones to complain tell him you thought this way you couldn’t get it wrong!

I'd tell him you're bored of him moaning, so from now on he can make his own to his own requirements

I'm on mat leave at the min, but even when I was at work, and I know it'll be the same when i go back, I'll still do them. He tends to complain more about how I do them, what I put in, so basically everything. I'm going at it differently from now though, if he moans once more he can piss off I won't make them again. And I've told him that tonight

I would say "make your own fucking sandwiches "

I remember my mum used to get up early when my dad was in 6-2 shift to make his butties. So she would get up at 5am to makena grown man's butties. And he was more than happy to let her do this.

Could you make him ham ones with a fuck tonne of the hottest mustard you can find?

SandyY2K · 08/06/2020 23:15

I couldn't be dealing with the moaning. I'd be saying, if you're only calling to whinge, don't bother...I'm busy with the kids.

I certainly wouldn't be doing them again.

A statement like " Life's too short to spend it moaning" might get the message across.

I have a real problem with anyone moaning about food I've made. Ok if it's inedible, I'll take that on the chin, but otherwise thanks is the only acceptable response. How fucking dare he moan about that. I've got a theory that food moaners are basically selfish twats anyway.

I find it quite depressing reading that you daily make his packed lunch, and one of your reasons is he makes too much mess doing it himself. Where's the equality in the relationship? He's a tinpot dictator who expects you to clear up after him? What century are we in?

mms84 · 09/06/2020 09:48

I suppose it's quite pathetic of me making them for him all the time even with his moaning about them. Hoping I got the message through last night. I just wouldnt dream of moaning about someone making me food unless it was completely inedible. I know what he does and doesn't like, I think he just likes to moan

I would be tempted to cut all the crusts off, make them in a cute shape with a cutter and include cheese strings in the lunchbox too! But truthfully, I would not make them in the first place!
