This is petty, you have been warned.
We are skint (not on the breadline, but one income at the moment) and trying to cut back on things. We used to top the teenagers' lunch money up with £50 a month but this was unsustainable so now they take a packed lunch. Part of the lunch is a kit Kat or similar. So obvs we have these in the cupboard. Dh also takes a packed lunch.
I was at home with the preschooler today and after a big breakfast and lunch he was still hungry this afternoon. Our shopping day is tomorrow so there were slim pickings in the house, we'd run out of bananas and apples and there were only prawn cocktail crisps left so I gave him a kitkat.
Dh got really pissy about this when he got home, even though I'd made sure there were enough left for tomorrow. He says that I shouldn't let ds2 have the packed lunch food, I said that he's a growing boy and needs to eat between meals (he's a bit of a grazer anyway).
So the upshot is, I've ordered plenty of snacky things for everyone this week which means the food bill has gone up slightly. AIBU to think food is the one thing I'm not prepared to scrimp on, and dh needs to be a bit more accommodating about the whole 'snacks' issue? He thinks we should all be eating three meals and that's it except he eats at least four bowls of cereal a day.
He's just nipped out and I've put the online shop through, which he will check when he gets in and query all the snacks. So do I stand my ground or not?
AIBU?
Or is DH about snack food?
