To give DC a second dinner...such a stupid matter

[melclaire1111]

This is ridiculously trivial but has resulted in an all night argument.

Bit of a back story...last week had a Chinese take away, DD who is nearly 2 ate pretty much a whole portion of rice (I didn't realise she had this much but ideas busy sorting out everyone else's drinks) subsequently she was sick with a sore belly that night.

More family round tonight, they wanted a take away again, I didn't really want to give Dd any but was convinced she would be fine. She had one mouthful of rice, gagged and threw it back up. So i went and put some baked beans & sausages in the microwave for her which she then ate about half of. (Not the healthiest dinner I know but was quick to do)

DH has now spent all evening moaning that I shouldn't have done her an extra dinner, she should just eat what she was given and now it's going to make her spoilt and she'll expect me to do something else for her everytime she doesn't like something. My line of thinking was it was better she ate something rather than nothing and it took literally 2 minutes to do!

You have a DH problem.

If food makes my DC gag - then I provide an alternative - that's obvious isn't it? And I mean gag not "that smells funny".
Chinese food probably has far too much salt etc. really for such a small child.

But you need to think about your DH problem. Ignore him for now, but he sounds very unpleasant.

If you were sorting everyone drinks, where was your dh the first time the poor child was allowed to stuff themselves full of rice until they were sick? surely someone must of noticed they were eating it?

No wonder the poor child didn’t want to eat rice again after last time, maybe get your dh to eat something until his so full it makes his sick and see if he wants to eat that food item again!

You gave a tin of beans of sausages instead of the rice so it’s not like you went to an extreme effort so I don’t get your dh problem, if you had cooked the child a 3 course meal instead I could understand but it was something requiring a quick heat up ffs
