To go to McDonald's?

[justwanttolookgood]

DH, myself and DS are all visiting his grandad.

Fair enough, we don't really have time on the way there.

But he's saying "No, we aren't going McDonald's".

My reason for wanting to go isn't just because I fancy it, I suffer from bad migraines and get terrible sickness afterwards.

Salty chips, or particularly McDonald's or Burger King, usually helps massively when the sickness is there

I've said but it helps me feel better. He says no we aren't going, just have something else in the house if you're hungry.

I feel a bit

WIBU to tell him to continue on with the taxi on our way back but stop off at McDonald's for myself and meet him back home?

I would do as you suggest in your last paragraph. Even if I didn’t particularly want the McDonald’s at that point.

Just do what you want.

Why Is your husband banning you from eating McDonald's? I'd go every day for the next week just to spite him.

I'm feeling quite ticked off.

Just annoyed me how 'no, we aren't going' is the final say.

He did explain that it's out the way, we'd have to stop off there, etc etc

But it just seems like he isn't interested in even considering it

Can’t you just have a packet of salty crisps and a can of Coke? I don’t really think you can justify a whole macdonalds meal on the basis of sickness. Fair enough if you just want one though. I can understand why DH might equally not want one and may prefer to set a good example to DS.

How far is it out of the way?

Bizarre thread

Your dh doesn't want to go, maybe grandad is cooking?

Do you always have these petty arguments ?

Maybe next time stay home if you're ill

You’re a grown woman and do not need the approval of another adult to eat fast food if you want to. If my husband controlled me like that he’d get a sharp swift boot out the door.
Go get your fries and a diverse lawyer

Divorce not diverse..

It would make me feel like a child if my husband told me that I couldn't do something, like he could juts decide no.

I would do it anyway.

Just* we really need a timed edit button for mistakes to be corrected.

I don't think it's because he's keen on setting good examples for DS, he's not even 1 yet

It isn't out the way really, we pass it on our way there and on the way back. It'll cost £5 extra to get off there and then go home again afterwards. Nothing dramatic

Cash isn't really the issue, it's him just not wanting to

What is your partner's reasoning for saying No?

Here He thinks if I'm hungry, just eat something out of the cupboard or fridge but even after explaining why that won't do, he still says it's too out the way and he doesn't want to

bogchris Grandad never cooks, he is mainly confined to the living room sofa

We have never been offered food whilst there, apart from a drink/cuppa

If you want to go, just go. It's not up to your DH to dictate your eating habits. Incidentally, I agree with you about the salty chips - when I had severe morning sickness, they were one of the few things I fancied and could keep down.

I don't really understand this. How can he say it's out of rhe way if you pass it. You're a grown woman you can go to McDonald's if you wish. He's a grown man, he can not go to McDonald's if he doesn't wish. You can't force him to go.

So go yourself.

Blunt I'm not bothered if he goes, if anything I'm fine if he doesn't so I can Mumsnet and eat in peace

I think he means it's out of the way because even though we pass it, it means getting out of the taxi and then getting another trip taxi home etc

He is very set in his ways sometimes, frustrates the life out of me

I'm noticing it more today because I want bloody McDonald's

Then just get out the taxi and he can go on, you get your McDonald's and follow after.

Blunt 100% what I shall be doing

He can just go home

I think he means it's out of the way because even though we pass it, it means getting out of the taxi and then getting another trip taxi home etc

That's too much faffing about for me, for the sake of a burger.

I'd also rather my DH was honest and just said he fancied one, instead of going on about a 'cure for migraine'. Are you sure that's not what's irritating him?

Either way, you're an adult. If you want to stop off at Maccy Dees then do it and let him also do what he wants.

Personally, I'd make sure I had salty snacks to avoid having to stop at McDonalds, if I knew that I might need them.

YANBU to want to eat McDonalds if you want to but YABU to expect your DH to want to as well. I'd find it a bit annoying to cut into travel plans to do something like that as it's a family trip and everyone is entitled to a say in it.

I think it's totally fine that he said he didn't want to, and totally fine if you want to do it anyway and get a taxi.

Sounds like a bit of a faff. Just get out on your own and get a separate taxi back. Won't you have to hang around to get another taxi if you stop? I don't think he's trying to control you, he just can't be bothered.

Why are you going visiting if you are not well?

YABU. McDonalds' food smells like and is excrement, he probably doesn't want that in the car.
