Do most stay at home parents interrupt the working parent with non time sensitive bs like this during work hours? If so why and why don’t they respect the work/personal time boundary?

Yes.

Just because you work at home doesn’t mean you leave messes all over your office building. For other coworkers to clean them up or deal with.

Deal with your own messes yourself, right away.

Why would a sahp have the guts to interrupt? That’s the part I don’t get. Talk about it later over dinner.

SAHP?

Oh is that like the office kitchen maid? Cool.

And they cook dinner!

That’s just your character flaw. It isn’t like your feelings about this are valid.

Is this OP’s response?
That’s all we need to know about Op.

My dh does this, I figured out it was rooted in getting yelled at as a child for finishing off the last of anything. He can't seem to control it, so I just finish off everything now.

Sounds like OP and spouse need to have a more depth talk. It gets tiring finding every snack having just a few crumbs left.

Is OP fat and an impulse eater? Then hiding the snack containers back on the shelf is the least of their health worries.

Some do. When I was in med school, one of the surgeon’s husband called while she was doing surgery to complain about the washing machine not being fixed yet. She was scrubbed in, so their conversation was on speakerphone, and we all heard it.

He was crazy, but it was honestly embarrassing for both of them. Because why would you be with someone who would treat you like this?

This is OP. He does things that are such more annoying that I can’t believe he brings this up. This is so very minor compared to his flaws.

Maybe he was having a bad day and seeing only 5 nuts in a 24 oz canister made he lash out.

Or do you always leave crumbs in containers for others?

How could he possibly be having a bad day? Other than grocery shopping and dinner prep, he has zero responsibilities. I handle the bills, investments, taxes, housecleaning, yard work, even the holiday cards, plus work full time.

We had an argument about it.

Did you throw the container at his head?

Whatever, pp. You know that it isn’t okay to call your spouse at work or get them from their home office or whatever in order to complain about petty stuff.

You need to give him a list to keep him busy. Sprinkle in some afternoon delights. It will do wonders for both of of you.

My spouse once called me at work to ask if the chicken in the fridge was good. Dude, read the label, smell it or order out, but this is stupid thing to bother me about while I'm working. (OFC I didn't say that.) Men have no concept that they might be interrupting someone doing something that is more important than issue that they are interested in at any moment in time.

He told me he didn’t want a honey do list when he retired. Afternoon delights?? We’re in our 60s, please

OP should do a corporate merger and become wife's CEO and new boss. Would be a fun role play.
