my husband is living in his own world fr

asked my husband to (word for word) grab some coconut milk on his way home from work today for a curry I wanted to make

The man shows up with
1) regular milk
2) baby formula
3) a coconut
4) a bag of desiccated coconut
5) fresh pre-cut chunks of coconut

He casually said he wasn’t sure what kind of coconut or if I wanted normal milk or milk for the baby…

Urmmmm thanks but huh?????

He misheard me and thought I said coconut AND milk. Like he somehow doesn’t realise we get milk delivered weekly in our online shop (it comes on a Monday - i.e. yesterday - and we get three bottles of milk) and that I have baby formula to last me weeks?

I’m cracking up imagining him wandering around trying to decide what kind of coconut and milk to buy… thinking at what point would it occur to a man to call and check??? lol

We’ll blame the lack of sleep and try again tomorrow lol

At least give him credit. He tried according to what he thought you said.

He did cover all the bases.... Except for one lol

I feel his pain since I have made similar mistakes. Now I do most of our grocery shopping, and if it isn't written on my list, I'm not buying it.

Aww, that's adorable.
New daddy brain.
He tried.

he's covering all the bases including making your own, if you didn't like the options he got you

as a guy literally twice your age, after a full day of work it's easy to "coconut n' milk"

by the time you're 30, he'll learn to ask for clarification

Text him a list next time. If he’s busy working all day he probably has a thousand other things on his mind..
seana · 26-30, F
@Quetzalcoatlus he only works 9-1 but yes, he will be getting a list next time even though he insists he doesn’t need one lol
He should have called or texted you. My hub does that all the time. That's why most of the time he asks me to text him a list.

I was going to say. I could see this happening 10 years ago. But now days it’s so simple to text and ask for clarification.
I just have to say how incredibly sweet and thoughtful it was for him to put all that care and effort into it! He REALLY tried 😂 My husband literally would’ve come home with nothing and said, “I don’t know what that is, go get it yourself” 😜 A real charmer I’ve got here 😂 (I’m basing this on 11 years together, but I feel like I should mention the past several months he’d ACTUALLY tried here and there lol)

@cherryxblossom omg mine wouldn’t dare lol. He always tries and usually is very competent but I guess he caught baby brain! Glad your husband is trying lol
PatKirby · M
That's all wrong, he's giving you hints to get large silicone implants.
robertsnj · 56-60, M
Yeah i probably would have failed that assignment too.

Is he ADD or ADHD? Lol serious. My hubby would call me (he’d never miss a chance to yap to anyone) but if he for any reason he didn’t or couldn’t this is what he would do too. And I think he is very ADHD.
seana · 26-30, F
@DoubleRings I don’t think so! He’s not normally like this but a 6 week old baby who doesn’t sleep has had quite an impact lol

There is a superb invention, called a phone 😆
seana · 26-30, F
@Busybee333 he was worried it would wake up the baby if he called so I guess I have to let him off lol

@seana Awww that's so thoughtful 💗 Coconut is amazing in many ways, enjoy the extra supply of coconut products! 🌞

That’s easy, sanitary pads is challenging
seana · 26-30, F
@Tres13 I schooled him on that long ago and he does very well lol

He didn't listen and tried to play it safe by buying 5 milk and coconut related products
seana · 26-30, F
