My BF's new rules for cups of tea

Honorius

Yesterday my boyfriend in consultation with his brother came up new rules for tea making......
1. Last one home from work (always me) makes the tea....because that person is already standing. :mad:
2. I have to drink more tea so that he doesn't have to make as much for himself.:mad::mad:
3. I have to learn to make it "properly":mad::mad::mad:

Anybody else getting this sh1te?

I hope you are posting from the kitchen.

The Big Smoke

Best thing to do is to make really ****ty cups of tea.

He will then dump you. Problem solved.

SV

I don't see what the problem with any of those rules are. Although are you actually complaining about having to drink MORE tea?
and yeah, tea that isn't made properly isn't worth drinking.

when you're finished makin the tea, the hall could do with a hoover, and throw out the bin while you're there too

I don't drink tea, therefore I make **** cups of tea, therefore I am never asked to make it. Simples .

COYVB

i never understood the whole thing where people claim they, or others, can't make a good cup of tea. it's hardly bloody rocket science. unless you're barely wetting the bloody tea bag i fail to see how anyone could possibly screw up such a basic task

Dravokivich

I always offer herself tea because she doesnt drink it. But id never expect her to make any for me.

MissyFit

I think I would accidently drop a hot cup of tea onto his lap and tell him thats all the action he will be seeing in that area for a while until he mans himself the **** up .

Really love the way the number of emoticons matches the point number.

michael999999

Post a few rules of your own OP.

Firsy one is which ever of the brothers is home first, gets to ride you!

See how long the rule book lasts then!

Honorius

I can make the tea! It's just his little "rules"

Might put a spoon of marmite in it the next time...he'll never ask again and his rule can F off

GalwayGuy2

Serve him a cold cup of tea. That'll show him.

Yes, Mistress MissyFit.

You hire clothes so hire somebody to make his tea. Or take some service station tea home to him.

Ihatecuddles-old

My boyfriend and his housemate are the same, always slagging me over my crap tea/coffee making skills! I dont mind making it for them and I know they're only joking!

wazky

Put bleach in his tea instead of milk, he won't be bothering you with "rules" again.

MurdyWurdy

We have tea making/ getting stuff from the kitchen rules as well.

The original rule was if the cat is asleep in your lap you don't have to do anything - the other person has to get you whatever you want.

Then we had a baby and the rules have got very complicated. For example sleeping cat trumps baby, but sleeping or feeding baby trumps sleeping cat. Then there are other combinations for awake baby/awake cat.

Both the cat and the baby like to be on me the most so generally the rules mean my husband ends up getting me stuff

Believe me I don't understand it either but I have made cups of tea for people and never been asked to make it again.

I'm making a cup of tea as we speak!

Capt'n Midnight

is it an ISO_3103 approved cup of tea ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3103

The pot should be white porcelain or glazed earthenware and have a partly serrated edge. It should have a lid that fits loosely inside the pot.
If a large pot is used, it should hold a maximum of 310 ml (±8 ml) and must weigh 200 g (±10 g).
If a small pot is used, it should hold a maximum of 150 ml (±4 ml) and must weigh 118 g (±10 g).
2 grams of tea (measured to ±2% accuracy) per 100 ml boiling water is placed into the pot.
Freshly boiling water is poured into the pot to within 4–6 mm of the brim. Allow 20 seconds for water to cool.
The water should be similar to the drinking water where the tea will be consumed
Brewing time is six minutes.
The brewed tea is then poured into a white porcelain or glazed earthenware bowl.
If a large bowl is used, it must have a capacity of 380 ml and weigh 200 g (±20 g)
If a small bowl is used, it must have a capacity of 200 ml and weigh 105 g (±20 g)
If the test involves milk, then it is added before pouring the infused tea.
Milk added after the pouring of tea is best tasted when the liquid is between 65 - 80 °C.
5 ml of milk for the large bowl, or 2.5 ml for the small bowl, is used.

Mariasofia

Just make sure that the rope he has you tied to the kitchen sink with reaches the bedroom.....all work and no play and all that!

biko

If he wants a cuppa too, just tell him to drag his ass into the kitchen and make it himself.
And get a packet of biccies while he's at it.

I need a cup of tea.

Tea is today's 'code word' for oral sex?

I'm seeing this thread in a whole new light.

I'd suggest a new "rule".

Since you're the last one home, you're hungrier than they were when they got in, right?

So, they get to have your dinner ready, and you can make the tea for after dinner.:p

Get yer titeas out love.

You'll never get a husband with that attitude.

humberklog

OP, have a good old fashioned affair. Take it as dirty as you can after work and when you get home you'll gladly give him a nice cup of tea, exactly as he likes it.

All the while you'll feel completely empowered within this relationship.

Have him kiss you where you have been recently kissed by someone else for extra empowerment. And sexyness.

Aotearoa

OP, you're on brew.

Lumbo

Lucky his rules weren't 2 girls, one cup.

ViveLaVie

This happened me before. My dad used to make me get up and make him tea constantly. He was drinking about thirty cups a day!

So I deliberately started making really bad tea. He soon tired of it. Nowadays if I offer him a cuppa, he won't hear of it, as the tea I make is so cat! ;-)

Be really sweet about it, but start making crap tea. Find it hard to 'learn'. Your boyfriend will soon figure out he's better off getting the tea himself.

jantheman91

Just don't come home.

That should throw a spanner in the works.

Teagwee

Make a huge flask of tea and keep serving it from that until it's finished, even if that's 3 days on. That way, you have only made tea once and the law of diminishing returns will force him to get up and make his own.

NB: Hide the flask!

Mint Aero

I read point number 2, 16 times and I haven't the foggiest badgers arse what you mean by it OP.

However, in all my wisdom. I deduce from your over use of angry faces that you're actually so happy to have a fellar in your life bossing you about because:

a) you've something to relate to 3 or 4 people in your life you think are friends.
b) you've something to post on AH, knowing that most here are single, obviously.
c) teenage angst.

Dump him. Life's too short to spend time with someone who draws up rules about drinks. Tomorrow's Saturday - you've got all day to pack your bags.

Or maybe their bags either way time to move on.
