Why are men such children?

Does anyone else have the problem that their boyfriend acts like a child 90% of the time, more often than not in public places. We were in town today and he said he was hungry and i said 'ok, i just need to go to this shop then we'll go get something to eat', perfectly reasonable i thought and he stamped his foot, threw my hand out of his and wailed 'But i'm hungry' in the most childish of ways. I could really kill himsometimes, he's 24 years old and i keep wondering when he is gonna start acting like it, at 5 years older than me you'd think i'd be the less mature one but i find my self feeling less like a girlfriend and more like a mother. Plus he doesn't see that he's doing anything wrong and laughs at me when i get angry. Its so frustrating cos he does it all the f***ing time. Anyone else have this problem?

We do act like little kids but you know if my gf had been taking me round shops all day spending my money then I want my damn cheeseburger when I ask for it.

Thats fair enough, if your girlfriend had been dragging you round shops all day, but the incident i mentioned was 15 mins after we arrived in town, which can hardly be called all day.

Whose money were you spending? How much had he eaten that day? Who drove / paid for the transport? How long do you normally spend in 'that' infamous shop?

Why could you not have gone separately?

I was spending my money, it was about 11:00 and he had had a huge cooked breakfast and 9:30, he drove because he said he would and he's is the only one of us who drives, the 'infamous shop' as you call we don't often spend much time in cos if we go to it, we know exactly what we are looking for. We could have gone separately cos he as taking me straight from town to the train station to go home.
