Dh is, to me, being fussy, about food and is suggesting that he can just have a different dinner to us. I think this sets a bad example to our very un fussy dc and I think that mostly we should all have the same.
Problem is we don't like the same things. DH does not eat meat which is fine (nor does dc and I'm not bothered about eating it at home - I have it a little if eating out) but then he doesn't like Quorn, pasta, risotto, prawns etc.
We have a lot of fish and some veggie sausages but then other than that frankly it's a struggle to think of things as I would otherwise make maybe pasta once a week and quorn something or other once a week. We have a stir fry sometimes but that's a pain as we will have prawns or quorn but dh doesn't like them and wants tofu.
Dh does like tofu and beans/ pulses and would prefer meals with those but ds and I aren't keen on tofu and I hate beans. I can accept we all dislike the odd thing - me beans and tofu - but dh's list seems longer.
I'm the one shopping and cooking so am not keen on considering two meals most days, and I just think we all need to compromise. Dc and I came up with a plan tonight saying we all had to accept that sometimes we have to have things we don't like given the situation but dh says he doesn't want to eat things he isn't keen on so will have something different.
