I bought ingredients to make homemade pizza.
the pastry, tomatoes, 3 packs of 2 types of cheese, tomato sauce, ham and sausages.
total cost nearly 20 pounds for 6 people 2 adults 4 teenagers.
Anyway husband starts on at me last night because I didn’t buy onion or pepper!!!! Nothing I do is ever good enough !!!
I replied after having spent 180 on the food shop the day before and then on top of that going out of my way to go and buy Everything after having worked a 6 day week he was out of order!!!! I ended up in a foul mood last night and this morning when I took my cup of tea up to bed he’d asked me my I hadn’t brought him breakfast in bed !!!
Thanks for reading

Tell him he knows where to find the shop. He can buy onion and pepper if he's that fussed about it. As for breakfast in bed, ask him where yours is.

Why did you go to buy more food? And why are you using pastry for pizza?

Star42 · 14/05/2023 11:33

I thought homemade pizza would be nice thing to do all together ! How wrong I was

If I tell him he can go and get what the wants he retorts I’m in charge of paying and doing the food shop !

I’d be annoyed that you didn’t get pineapple !

waterlego · 14/05/2023 11:37

He is presumably capable of going to a shop to buy onions and peppers if he wants some?

Was he joking when he asked why you hadn’t brought him breakfast in bed? I would have laughed at that because I’d have assumed it was a (crap) joke.

Overall, I’m wondering what you see in this man.

YANBU about buying ingredients. I like peppers and onions on my pizza but your DH should go and get them himself if they’re that important for him.

YABU to buy pastry to use as a base! Try wraps or pre-made bases.

Sorry I sais pastry I meant pizza base !

Why are you tolerating this shit from him?

IDontWantToBeAPie · 14/05/2023 12:00

What happened when you told him to jog on and stop being a brat?

TwilightSkies · 14/05/2023 12:02

Does he add anything positive to your life?

feathermucker · 14/05/2023 12:04

Oh, fuck that!

How is he otherwise, does he pull his weight?

AbsolutePixels · 14/05/2023 12:11

Are you paying for all the food shopping, OP?

Bananalanacake · 14/05/2023 12:49

What are his good points

YouDoYouHun · 14/05/2023 12:51

Tell him he's a pizza shit

Star42 · 14/05/2023 13:08

I earn 1900 a month he earns 3, 400 I don’t know how much has left over after he pays off the bills I have very little.
I would say it’s fairly equal. That’s not really my issue I think he feels as he pays more than I do then he gets to make decisions without consulting me I’m tired of it!

Well it's not fairly equal if he has more money at the end of the month than you do.

He's not sounding like much of a catch tbh

AssertiveGertrude · 14/05/2023 13:30

Let him do the food shop next week and moan about everything

think the episode when newly married Mrs Hughes and moany Mr Carton in Downton where she feigns a sprained wrist 😆😆😆

This sounds really exploitative. It's not equal if he gets to make all the decisions, and then grind you down with petty criticisms.

Presumably you earn less because you're looking after the children? He's acting like king of the castle because he's paid a few bills with the money he was only able to go out and earn because or your unpaid labour at home. You are paying out for the food he eats and are left with almost nothing at the end of the month. If I've understood the situation correctly, that's really not fair.

Well, it’s Mothers Day in much of the world today so, you know, that cup of tea in bed …..
