They’ll love it, peas and fish are full of nutrients anyway!

Do it! It is absolutely fine.
It's still just food.

YANBU.

Peel a couple of carrots and throw some salady bits on the side and it’s a perfectly balanced meal Grin

Fish has always been called "brain food," so you will be assisting their education!

Chinese here tonight. Vegetable spring rolls are a winner with my kids, so that’s my excuse!

No!
But the big question is do you do curry sauce/mushy peas/gravy??

I’m pregnant also and I never want fish and chips normally but when I’m with child it’s all I want!!!

32 weeks pregnant with 5 DC and it’s Friday? Do it! And then put your feet up for a very much needed break! And don’t go any get it yourself either - if you can send either DH or your eldest to fetch it you totally should.

My 3yo loves the occasional chip shop treat for dinner and eats loads of fish (which usually she won’t touch).

Absolutely do it. Sometimes you just need to take the easy option. Then have nap if you can. Hope you manage to get on top of the anaemia soon.

Do it! My children don’t like food from the chipper which is a pain.
Do it for me Grin

I think this is the least unreasonable AIBU I've ever seen!

Absolutely get a chippy tea - you'll all enjoy it and mushy peas are the food of the gods Smile

You’re cooking your sixth child? That’d be enough cooking for me, send a capable one to the chippy and put your feet up

You appear to have five kids and a sixth nearly on the way. You are 100% entitled to do whatever is easy and feels right!!

well that's dinner sorted then ... ☺ thanks for making it so easy I thought I might get lots of people saying not for the babies ...

I will definately send my Dd 13 the chippy is actually only maybe 200 yds away and people come for miles to it.

@northernRunner definately mushy peas and curry sauce!!

As for the nap that's unlikely but I am hoping to be in bed by 9 tonight

what's everyone else having for dinner?

I had chippy last night. It was divine.

Homemade Thai green curry tonight. That'll be delicious; DP is an incredible cook.

I’m currently having a chippy munchie box. Cheeseburger, onion rings, chicken goujons and curry dip. Side order of potato scallops for extra carb-age.

Go for it!
