Well I'm definately not 40, seen as I've got the kids every single weekend without fail (and no break), PLUS the hubby NEVER offers to make me a cup of tea.

What? How long have you been training him for? Surely HIm making the tea is one of the most BASIC lessons... You may have to go back to the beginning with yours if he hasn't grasped simple tea making...
Treat em mean keep em keen is my motto... Obviously I've been too nice to HIM recently...

The Husband Always Makes Tea Act 1971. S.4 makes it illegal for wives to make tea. It ALWAYS the husbands job. He needs taking back to the factory and re-programming. He needs to know his place
