to say he is being pathetic

Yeah, I probably am. Probably shouldn't post here, but... I dunno...

My husband doesn't like cheese. He is not allergic to it - he just doesn't like it. I was serving up dinner and served up going around the table. My son asked me to put cheese on his, which I did. then I served up my husband's dinner. He said "You put cheese on mine" I said I hadn't. "There was a bit of cheese on your finger and it fell on my dinner." This is possible - but it would have been the tiniest grated bit into a chicken fajita. Impossible to taste. However, he then refused to eat it. So I served him another one, and left the table and went upstairs.

I was just really cross and fed up of pandering. He came after to ask me "What is your [my] problem?" and I told him he was being pathetic and I didn't want to sit at the table with him.

I am probably being pathetic too, and it is probably not worth the agro I have caused by not just accepting, but he really pissed me off. Again.

I have a very fussy eater husband too and he would do this and I would be furious. What an example to set a child. I'd have told him to shut up and eat it!

He is being pathetic. A tiny bit of cheese, he won’t of taste it.

Next time tell him to make himself something if yours isn't good enough.

my 6 yo also hates cheese. this is how he would react. says it all really.

BoiledFrog · 17/06/2018 21:00

He's lucky it didn't end up on his head

HyenaHappy · 17/06/2018 21:01

To be fair neither of you are coming off very well here.

Yes, he was massively childish to demand a whole new plate. There’s no way I’d have got him one, he can dish himself up a plate if it’s that important to him.

You were being unreasonable to go and sit upstairs presumably leaving your DC say at the table feeling awkward and upset?

SoyDora · 17/06/2018 21:02

He is being pathetic. My nearly 3 year old would react like this, but I’d tell her she was being ridiculous and she’d get over it and eat it.

Oakmaiden · 17/06/2018 21:03

I know you are right, Hyena, but to be honest I just saw red and really didn't want to sit there acting like him being a fussy child was Ok.

He's being absolutely pathetic. He's a father now and needs to set an example!
I hate spiders but since my kids came along I do my very best to get rid of them bravely so that they don't get issues. Same thing but even more important around food.

Shoxfordian · 17/06/2018 21:04

He's being ridiculous

Anon12345ABC · 17/06/2018 21:05

You both sound like children. I'm not sure you came off any better here. I don't like certain things and there is no way I will eat anything with even a tiny bit in, however I don't make a fuss and would just pick it out. I hate it when people think adults should just eat anything because they are adults, actually they are entitled to likes and dislikes just like anyone else.

Pumpkintopf · 17/06/2018 21:07

He was being completely unreasonable. Not surprised you lost your temper.

Anasnake · 17/06/2018 21:08

There's so Way I'd have served him another one.

RJnomore1 · 17/06/2018 21:09

Why are you serving him in the first place?

JustHereForThePooStories · 17/06/2018 21:11

You both sound like drama llamas.

busybarbara · 17/06/2018 21:33

He sounds a bit OCD to be honest
