My husband went on a tirade because I didn't have his naan full cooked before he got out of the bathroom and ready for work. The man has never made it to work at the set time in the 5 years I have been married or known him, he is always over an hour late. (thank goodness his job is lax and as long as he gets the project done they dont care when he comes or goes to work)
His argument was that is only half cooked when its frozen, and that the temp HAS to be 400 degrees before putting it in, and just thawing it will make it mushy, and then when he nukes it (yes folks the man nukes it as WELL) it will be like rubber. UMMM..... when I asked him has it ever been rubber before? he replied "NO". To that I laugh and tell him this is is always how I do it, and that its just today he caught me, cause he got done in the bathroom from his normal 45 minute routine early. He admitted he ran out of Kindle power. SOOOO anyway
Have you ever started an argument for a really really DUMB reason.
yes Dad, sadly he calls it his reading and thinking room. Its a 45 minute or more ordeal where he reads most of his news, via Kindle in the toilet. While I run around feeding, cleaning, clothing, and making ROTI usually but today I decided frozen Naan was befitting, however I was slightly late in turning on the oven for pre-heat. hence the crazy tirade.
Oh yeah there is underlying reasons, but mostly he is just a fussy baby.
Good Lord, what kind of wife ARE you that you didn't have his naan the way he likes it at exactly the moment he wanted it?!
That's IT, you're FIRED!
I mean, what would happen if there WAS no naan at ALL?!
Giggle, 's Monday-itis!
:)
sounds like you took his silly tirade with an admirable sense of humor!
good for you.
no, i have NEVER started an argument for a dumb reason. ever. fortunately none of my family members are on MP to dispute the point.
:) khairete
S.
Umm, sounds a little demanding to me. He can make his own breakfast next time. I try to fix breakfast several mornings a week, but if the family started complaining then they could just eat cold cereal. I like to serve and take care of my family, but once the it turns from gratitude to demands the joy would evaporate for me and so would the service.
Ooo, I love Naan. We have a wonderful bakery in the hood that makes it. I cannot believe you could serve it half baked.. I suggest he now take care of this terrible lack of care.. himself..
I also suggest her get up an hour earlier so he can get to work on time..
I love that the power ran out. That is hilarious.. Because THAT is what he was really mad about.. HE did not remember to plug in HIS device.
Theresa, you are so punny.. Made me laugh...
To all of you who don't know what naan is, get out there and start trying some ethnic cuisines, you're missing out!!
MaryMomma, I have seen many of your previous posts. Put your hubby in a diaper and stroller. Enough, he is the biggest baby I have ever heard of. Sorry. Sigh.
Not sure what "naan" is but I think your husband soon needs to be introduced to a box of Pop Tarts he can leave in his desk for the week!
45 minutes in the bathroom?
whaaaa?
BTW - what is naan?
nevermind - found it. Here it is for everyone like me - out of the loop. :)

If he spends 45 minutes in the bathroom and is usually an hour late to work, maybe you should switch your baby over to a high fiber naan option. That should solve a few problems. PS - thanks for reminding me that I have a package of frozen naan in the back of my freezer.
BTW, if the bread really wasn't warm enough for his liking, perhaps next time you can shove it into a body cavity of his where it will warm to the correct temperature. Just sayin'.
That would be the last time I made my husband any breakfast. He's a grown man and can heat up his own bread.
Actually that would be the first time I made him breakfast too. I'm way to busy in the morning to cater to one more child. Heck my Kindergartner can fix his own breakfast, I wouldn't do that for a grown man who wasn't appreciative of it.
Started an argument once over why my husband can't drape a wet towel over a towel bar but is capable of dropping it on the floor....
You are a calmer woman than I am. If I were you, your husband would have ended up with the hot naan shoved down his shirt and the Kindle floating in the toilet after going on a tirade when HE could be cooking his own darned naan if he's so picky!
I have a lovely image of your telling him very sweetly: "Honey, guess what! I have registered for a morning exercise class! So you get to make your own naan just the way you like it every day -- it'll always be perfect! And you can get the kids off to school at the same time you're doing it, I'm sure. Time for class -- got to go!"
He is a grown up who can make his own breakfast. End of argument.
Oh good grief.
Tell him to make it himself then.
What a baby.
My Husband, in the morning has a coffee and sits and watches the morning news for a few minutes after he gets ready for work.
His "gripe" is, how come *I* can't just sit there with him, and drink a coffee too and just sit there watching the news with him. But I don't.
Um... yah, because I am BUSY making breakfast, getting the kids fed and ready for school and making sure the timing of the morning is on time and I have to get myself ready too, wash the dishes, etc.
Husband, does not understand, that.
He only gets himself ready... in the mornings. Not the whole house, like I do every morning.
I'm sure that others would say that I have, but I don't think that it's dumb in the moment.
You're lucky you have that much time to give to him. I'm only have enough time to get my husband his clothes and pack him a lunch before he has to run out the door.
We usually have fusses about the thermostat. Our daughter is finally tall enough to touch it...and she does.
I wouldn't cook it for him anymore. Pre-heat the oven for him while he is in the shower, maybe. But from now on he can cook it the way he likes it. But my husband is so easy going, I don't know if I could handle a fussy one.
And, yes, both my husband and I have started arguements for silly reasons. But usually there is an underlying real reason for them. You just have to look for it.
Every now and then I'll make my husband some sausage biscuits and prepackage them for him - if I'm also doing things for the kids. It's nice to spoil our spouses sometimes or just make things easier for them. So help me God if he ever gave me anything close to a hard time about it. I'd probably laugh in his face and walk away. He got along fine for 36 years before me, and he can do it now or be hungry. His choice! No fight :).
He needs to appreciate that you make him breakfast. My husband gets up too early. To make up for it, i just bought him a 12 pack of his favorite breakfast sandwiches :)
about 1000 times! And it's never really that petty incident that is the cause, it's just a build up of a other things. Then that small thing sets me (or my husband) off and forget it, WW3 is here!
The last time this happened was over leaving a loaf of bread on top of the fridge (the bottom gets hard), well really it's no big deal, it was $1. BUT, really I was overwhelmed by some other things but that sent me over the edge.
Well, I used to *think* my ex husband was in the bathroom "reading" but he was really in there texting and chatting with all his girlfriends.
No, I have never started an arguement for a dumb reason. Neither has my husband.
Oh, and I don't even know what naan is, I thought that was a typo! =)
Oh sure - prior to counseling it was how all our really bad fights started - lol - now I just stop myself or walk away - then the frozen floppy bread fights just seems silly. :-)
I think everyone has started a stupid argument before. :-)
Just tell him that he can make his own bread from now on. That should solve it.
Sure,
Everyone has stressful, anxiety ridden bad days.... and we don't always handle it right. He was just being a butt. I'd let it slide. Like I said we all have our moments.
I'll have to give you that was a funny fight though. Men are insane! Sometimes I really do think they are from Mars. I would have looked at my husband like he had two heads. hehe
lol gotta love em! Well you can tell your husband that he should be soooo thankful to have you for a wife because if my husband threw a fit over something I was cooking, it would become his job to cook it pretty fast! lol I have been married 30 years this November and my husband picks his fights with me very carefully. If he makes me mad we have things he doesn't like for supper all week long. It is all in the training ;-)
