Re: Who wants some 3rd tri entertainment?
I am actually side-eying the ever loving shii!t out everyone telling her to be grateful that her H even cooked for her, like it's some big thing to expect one of those menz to take care of dinner. She does come off sounding totally insane (wrong type of pasta and forgot a second loaf of bread wuuuut??? I'm totally seeing her freaking out like "Dammit Jack, I specfically requested penne and you bring home rigatoni?!") but some of the responses saying not to ever expect your husband to cook have me rolling too.
I'm now re-reading this a little slower and it's seriously like the gift that keeps on giving
Dude, there is idiocy alllll over that post.
Does the OP ever explain what the wrong part is? Because if she means rigatoni instead of penne, and kielbasa instead of polish sausage, she's a nimrod. But if homeboy brought home frozen, precooked breakfast sausage and whole wheat kosher for passover egg noodles, I'd shoot a dikk.
Click me, click me!
And excited he tried? What kind of low standard having biitches are these?
I'm feeling decidedly Chris Rockish about this whole shebang. "Whatchu want a muthafuuking cookie??"
Click me, click me!
Oh snap. The crazy never dies.
At least someone in the family is intelligent. The period is not her friend.
And IF her whole scenario is remotely real as far as adding a child, I bet that'll be familial bliss!
I'm just imagining some of those pre-cooked breakfast sausages swimming forlornly around in a pot full of Ragu.
The mental image makes me think "Cat turd bolognese", lololol
Chic is not even pregnant, she is adopting and saying she cant have surgery because of miscarriages DUDE. Sounds like she was making up stuff to get attention and it went wrong.
I was pregnant with gallbladder stones and the surgeon did not take it out while pregnant. I delt with it and had it out after.
Click me, click me!
She has stated many times they have money and they are adopting, but she does not want to hire staff. She does not qualify for medicaid
You'd be surprised.
Click me, click me!
I would have replied sooner, but I was in the other wing of my estate, and I was just plum EXHAUSTED after walking all the way across the grounds to get here... (/sarcasm).
This chick is ridiculous. On top of all the other crazy, I love how she keeps bringing up the two degrees. Like that means anything? Bish please. Degree holding =/= kitchen competency.
But he has 2 DEGREES! He should be able to go to the STORE! You don't understand how hard my LYFE is!!!
This woman is insane. Fooking have your shyt delivered or hire a cook. It will save bytching & time. I don't say this often, but I feel sorry for her husband. The poor bastardo tried (& it wasn't gourmet but FFS it sounds like she does most of the cooking) & she is crapping all over his attempts. If it were me I would tell her to go Fook herself & eat a goddamned salad.
My husband cooks just fine, but sometimes he misses an ingredient or makes a mistake (so do I, jesus). Fooking first world problem, & if her diet is do strict (which I side-eye) she should invest her money in getting him cooking classes or hiring someone.
OMG, and now I'm dying laughing at the "fooking."
She posted on PgAL about the meanies on 3rd tri. More fun to give! (No I didn't stalk her, I just clicked her bio to find the medicaid post)

This was my impression too! I read the first page of it last night and while she sounds like a crazy brat, I don't understand all the "he's a man. at least he tried" comments. Um, MH can cook. He's not the greatest, and he has a few meals he sticks to, but he can do it and he doesn't get a gold medal for doing it, anymore than I do.
Oh I definitely feel the same way, it was more of the follow-up postings that made me inclined to think she's bratty.
DH was in chart of dinner for a few weeks when I was sick and it was AWFUL, and i might have been really p!ssy about it. It reminded me I need to do more freezer meals for post-baby or we will starve to death. The bright side was that he really appreciates my cooking a lot more.
And he's willing to get take-out or grab rotisserie chicken/salad from the store when its his turn and he knows he will suck
I wish my two degrees meant I could cook - but I'm lousy at it. You can feel sorry for my H.
I am howling at the estate part.

This. All the "some men wouldn't even THINK of making dinner" crap is a bit much. Are this many women still stuck in the 50s?
Assuming her story is roughly true, I'm actually on her side. Sure, she's being overdramatic, but I'd be pretty pissed if I asked MH to do something simple and he screwed it up (especially if he admitted he wasn't really trying). I'd also be worried about how things are going to go when the baby is here.
What I don't get is the "I feel sorry for your husband" comments. I mean, I assume she's taking out her anger on the boards and not typing a response, then yelling at him and going back and forth all night. If MH is pissed about something relatively minor and wants to go on about it for hours, I'd much rather he vent online.
That chick is batsh!t, but I'll be damned if I am going to bow down in appreciation over my H fu?king up some boxed pasta and jarred sauce.
my read shelf:
See, I do think she's whiny, but not entitled. Putting aside whatever crap she says about her "diet" she is in 3rd tri, was having a bad day, and asked her husband to do something relatively simple. He didn't/couldn't and supposedly later admitted he didn't try. Is she acting entitled by being upset he couldn't do that? I think it's a fair expectation to make that a grown man can make pasta.
Maybe I'm just out of touch since I have an Italian DH who gets all huffy about whether I bought the right kind of parmesan for pasta, but I don't think her expectations are entirely out of line.
