I can confirm he has purchased a masher. He sent me a picture of it and asked if it was alright Confused

Great title! I'm mentally(!) doing the dance to the tune in my head. 🌹

mbosnz · 12/03/2021 16:05

Oh you little beaudy! That was going through my head, re the mash. . .

LadyDanburysHat · 12/03/2021 16:07

Great thread no. 4. And he actually sent you a picture of the masher. I would be tempted to respond that it is completely wrong, but I think more realistic is why do you think I care about your masher?

WeatherwaxLives · 12/03/2021 16:21

I'd be tempted to reply something like 'Oh. You decided you wanted that sort?'

But maintaining the no answer unless child related and absolutely necessary is definitely the sensible route!

Mix56 · 12/03/2021 16:29

I'd be tempted to reply something like: " What you eat, the way you prepare it is frankly the last thing I give a shit about"
but I would wait until the divorce agreement is sorted

Kfdbhydcjrsx · 12/03/2021 16:33

Why would you possibly care about his choice of potato masher? Sad little man.

RandomMess · 12/03/2021 16:40
Confused

He is desperate to engage you in conversation as if you are friends and you are still his wifely expected to do wifely duties and actually care!!

CheshireCats · 12/03/2021 16:44

Love the title!

Drinkingallthewine · 12/03/2021 16:48

With regard to the interesting conversation my only contribution is to tell you to ride him like seabiscuit.

FannyFlapClap · 12/03/2021 16:50

You should send him a pic of a dildo "this is a real masher" And then he can get masher envy 🤷‍♀️

StuckInPollyannaMode · 12/03/2021 16:52

And so the messaging begins.

'There doesn't seem to be homework so I'm checking that. My head is exploding.'

I do not respond. He then messages 2 friends and 1 of them sends him a picture of it.

'Homework is on Teams. I don't have a printer and nor do I have their laptops. This isn't a sustainable solution. We need to work this out'

I say 'You need to put Teams on your new iPad and get a printer'

'Long term I maybe need to get a printer.'

'I don't have teams on this iPad'

'I've a photo now so I'll see what I can do but homework might not get done'

'I'm chewing through data as I don't have wifi yet'

Is it too early for a gin?! I haven't responded to the rest of the messages but bloody hell.

Happy Friday.

In other news, I've found some new non-grotty definitely not mummy pants in the Marks and Sparks sale...

Could he please go tell it to someone/something that might care? Say, his new spud masher - it's more invested than you should be expected to be at this point, surely!

RandomMess · 12/03/2021 16:57

He needs to buy a laptop for his house then if it doesn't work on his all singing dancing iPad

mbosnz · 12/03/2021 16:58

Oh, and as to his head exploding. . . DH wrote a thingy that created a floating head in that old computer game, 'Doom', that exploded something wicked. It looked like someone we both disliked intensely. It was very realistic. So realistic, we looked at each other guiltily and quietly uninstalled it. However. . .

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 12/03/2021 17:17

Ignore his bleating, completely utterly and totally......and tell us about your not mummy pants perspective viewer!!

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 12/03/2021 17:18

Mix56 · 12/03/2021 17:19

You need to reply.
"Being the parent in charge for the week-end includes them doing their homework, I will not accept you defaulting on your responsibility to either, load teams, pay for more data, or buy a printer. & get their homework done on your time.
This is going to be a long term issue, you are at management level you should be able to deal with it like an adult."

Mummapenguin20 · 12/03/2021 17:25

How do you put up with him id block him for the weekend 😂

pointythings · 12/03/2021 17:32

Dear God and I thought my late husband was useless at adulting! At least he managed to set up broadband on his first day in his new flat. All he needs to do is go on his iPad, look up what the best deals in his area are, and job done. As for laptops - well, he should ensure your DDs have laptops at his house. That's on him. And Teams runs on iPad. No excuses, the big man-baby needs to get on with it.

DartmoorDoughnut · 12/03/2021 18:07

Fucking hell he’s pathetic

Letsgetbizzy · 12/03/2021 18:28

GuyFawkesDay · 12/03/2021 18:34

Teams runs on your phone too. No excuses 😉

RonSwansonsChair · 12/03/2021 18:44

Just wanted to say @StuckInPollyannaMode that you are amazing! I've been following your threads but haven't commented to now. Just had to comment now to say I've got Monster Mash song stuck in my head 🎵 😄😄
