To not have made Dp his dinner?

My Dp is a very picky eater and can be very wasteful at times.

I was bought up knowing the value of every meal and drink, anything we didn't want to eat would be waiting for us at a later time. Due to this, I like to make enough food for one/two meals so food doesn't get wasted. Dp is often 'not in the mood' for some foods, doesn't feel like finishing off snacks/bread when they are about to go out of date and often leaves unfinished drinks around the house.

He has early starts at work so when he comes home he sometimes has a nap -no problem with me- but sometimes when I make dinner he'll stay asleep after numerous attempts to wake him and his dinner will end up wasted.

So tonight my sister was over and he had a nap. I was going to make very simple bangers and mash for dinner and decided to make it when we were almost ready to eat, reheated sausages are rank. Put the potatoes in the oven around 7 and woke Dp up at 8ish as I was putting ds to bed. He said he was still tired so wanted to sleep so I left him. I'd been snacking all day do didn't feel particularly hungry so didn't bother make dinner at all.

He's just woken up now asking where his dinner is and is moaning that he's starving! I told him its his own fault for having a very long nap, he can make himself beans on toast.

So AIBU?

Of course YANBU. He is behaving like a petulant child.

If the bread goes a bit weird, make bread and butter pudding if you like it, tis what my mum does with bread thats starting to go stale.

But YANBU, if you werent hungry and he was sleeping, why would you make a dinner that might be wasted.
