To say I warned him, and it's his own fault.

[DieHardISaChristmasFilm]

DS is 2 weeks old. I'm BF and hungry constantly. I also had gestational diabetes for the last 10 weeks if pregnancy so very limited carbs.

Last night I wanted fish and chips. DH has unfortunately inherited a bit of competitive under eating from his mother (oh that's me done for the day if there's a big lunch- this is never actually true!) So I was very specific with my order, and being hungry.
He arrives home with a fish each, but one single chips (not even a large one) to go between me, him and DD. He also missed out the curry sauce
I served up for myself and DD leaving almost no chips for him, then told him it wad his own bloody fault and he needed to go back to the shop if he wanted chips. He's been sulking since last night. WIBU? He knows how much I hate the meager little portions when we go to his parents, it shouldn't be too much to ask for a reasonable portion if chips, esp while breastfeeding!

This

The fact he's still sulking would suggest to me that he was trying to control your calorie intake.

I agree with this. If he was a half decent person or made a mistake he’d have said “oh sorry, of course you take them all”

He was deliberately trying to reduce what you were going to eat from the amount you wanted and needed.

I’d be raging too OP.

My FIL barely eats, his life is prioritised by alcohol and he’s always been a picker with food. I don’t see him often but we do visit at Xmas. Every single year he says he’s doing food but doesn’t. Last years ‘buffet food’ was an open carton of mini pork pies and mini scotch eggs (from visitors the night before) I don’t even like those things.

He would rather sit drinking and really doesn’t care that his guests actually want food. We’d always end up buying some chips or something from a local takeaway and he’d moan because he’d done this ‘food’ for us.

I’m not going this year,

Chips and curry sauce is amazing!

Forget the chips I would be raging at the curry sauce!

Curry sauce is the best bit, and what an arse to get funny about portions.

I've never lived anywhere where curry sauce wasn't on the menu in chip shops. I've only spent maybe 15 years living in anyone's idea of 'the north'. What is this horror?

I'm from the south and chips without curry sauce is I'm sure breaking the law 🤔
OP I would have slung a pooey nappy at him if he walked in with small chips and no sauce! Yanbu!

Curry sauce? On fish n chips?
Has anyone actually seen curry sauce In the south or is this really a northern thing

You raise an intriguing point. I'm from Lancashire. Curry sauce with fish and chips is fairly normal. I moved to the depths of Devon many years ago and was scorned, scorned I tell you, for asking for curry sauce. However....go for a night out in Torquay and find yourself in the kebab shop at 3am...these people order chips and cheese with curry sauce.

Calorie counting man, where are you! 🤣

We have curry sauce here in London zone 2 but I don't think we had it when I was a kid

'As tha nowt moist??

I’m in minority of YABU
I know portion sizes from fish and chip shops are massive. A single chip order is more than enough as a side for two adults and a small child. Especially with an entire fish each.
To call sensible eating “competitive under eating” is ridiculous unless your DH is anorexic and rail thin. If he is a healthy weight, then he’s not an under eater. You may be using breastfeeding as an excuse to overeat though....

There is portion roulette at our Cornish chippie. You have to see who’s on shift, then you have to try and see if one is tilling and the other serving, or if they are arranging a start to finish order programme. If we have guests you have to go safe and order two large to be sure - incase of a last minute server swap. Good news for Curry sauce lovers though you can choose from small or large, regular 🌶 or extra spicy 🌶 🌶 🌶 strength curry sauce . Worse case scenario chip buttie for lunch next day.

My mother is a competitive under water, which my sister and aunt attribute to us having over eating problems because we were always starving.

If we have Chinese at her’s then It criticised for having TWO THINGS! Mushroom
Noodles and sweet and sour tofu (I’m veggie).

At a birthday dinner at a Japanese restaurant I was criticised for ordering FIVE THINGS! no noting this worked out as less than she had.

At my hen night she just had a starter of five pieces of crab ravioli.

I think she has an eating disorder if her own because she weighed eight stone the week before I was born. She was six and a half stone when she married my dad nine months earlier.

A bag of chips between 3 people, he’s at it.

@PlanDeRaccordement
The last time I got a small portion from my chippy, it had 14 chils in it. 14!!!! I was really annoyed. The portion is usually really small but not that bad.
You really cant say "I know portions are huge". All you can say is "the chip shops I've been too have huge portions". Or have you been to every one in the UK?

@PlanDeRaccordement
And did you miss the part were she lost weight during pregnancy due to gestational diabetes?

She isn't overeating. She is having a treat and since she needs to gain weight, that's really not a problem.

Ivd just noticed you said "an entire fish each". Like that's bad!!! Omg. It's a fillet of fish which has been battered. It's not excessive. She isn't eating an entire fucking tunsfish on her own.

Bloody hell. Some people are really fucking weird.

In the south and love chip shop curry sauce! Got to have the bits in it though.
Aldi now sell fish with the curry sauce already in it!

YANBU

I should add a standard portion of chips at our chippy is enough for two adults and a six year old. It’s MASSIVE.

I’m in the south. I refuse to use a chip shop that doesn’t do curry sauce. My northern DH hates it.

I'm in scotland, and I've yet to find a chippy without curry sauce. So you guys in the south of England have it, but the north of England doesnt do curry sauce? Why has curry sauce just skipped over the north of England? Poor guys.
