To think who eats a family meal to themselves?!

[GimmeTheSnacks]

I made a meal this evening ready for tomorrow as the chicken needed cooking. It was cooling down on the side before putting it in the fridge. The next thing I know dp is home from work then walks in with a huge plate of it. It looked like a lot so I asked if he'd reheated the whole thing to which he replied "no I've saved ds (5) some as I know how much he likes it". I explained it was for tea tomorrow and he said I should have told him when he got home.

He has enough common sense to know I will have cooked it for another days meal so this was just so selfish. He can be selfish with food in terms of snacks but he's never done it with a meal before. There were 4 chicken breasts in it ffs!

Aibu to think this was out of order and selfish?

Lucky you that you are able to afford to do that Que. The op cant

What happened with dinner tonight, OP?

Gosh I'm glad I live in a house where everyone is considerate of the rest of the family.

^I'm so glad that I live in a house where DP and I can eat what we want, in any amount we want, when we want, without having to seek the other's permission or be judged or criticised by the other.
All the controlling fanatics on this thread, calling a man names because he ate food that was on the kitchen counter, yikes - I pity anyone who lives with you.^

I pity anyone who lives with you. Would you eat your husbands lunch that he'd made for work? If not why not?

Op cooked a family meal, for the family to share. She's got 3 young dc, she hasn't got the time or money to cook another family meal.

Presumably her partner can eat whatever he wants, just not food that his partner has cooked for everyone.

You need to start locking away anything he can snack on apart from things like fruit.

He's an adult not a child! You can't go round treating other adults like that shock

A surprising number of women have had to resort to hiding food from thoughtless men like this.

Maybe if he behaved like an adult when it came to feeding his family, you'd have a point.

If he’s very overweight then this is very disordered eating, and he should attract our sympathy, not our contempt - jesus who wrote that?! If a woman is very overweight then usually on here she deserves every last scrap of contempt!!

I'm overweight and whilst I might have nicked the kids crisps when they were too young to realise, I've never decided I am entitled to the family dinner - there's battling an eating disorder and then there's having no morals.

Op you need to take more money off him for the food shop! It’s to totally out of order that you are using your own money to feed the family while he selfishly spends his. You’re very patient to put up with this, I would have flipped.

Quesera, must be nice for you to have unlimited money to spend on food.

Let them eat cake, right?

@gimmethesnacks no sorry I only have two under three which I am tandem breastfeeding. I work part time and I'm setting up my own business.
Maybe your husband needs to pull more weight generally if you're struggling x

My dh can eat what ever he likes but i would not put up with being 'given' money for food shopping

I'm so glad that I live in a house where DP and I can eat what we want, in any amount we want, when we want

Aren’t you lucky that you have the money to be able to do that. We are also very lucky, and can generally eat what we want, when we want.
As the OP has repeatedly said on this thread, she is on a tight budget. She cannot simply conjure extra food up for another meal for the family. I imagine she isn’t in that situation for shits and giggles.

Jesus the ridiculously ignorant privilege on this thread.

She had cooked all the meat for the following evening. She can not afford to replace it. He has eaten four out of five portions of that meat which were for the other family members.

Everyone had already had their evening meals, he ate a second evening meal at the expense of everyone else. Fine he's hungry but have some bread and butter or something.

he ate three chicken after hed already eaten thats basically greed not a snack

It really doesn't take much to ask you if he can eat it does it.

What kind of selfish arsehole just helps himself.

*breasts

Really, the rice is not the issue. He could have eaten the rice on its own and it wouldn’t have been a problem in terms of what the family were going to eat the following day.

So much bitchy privilege on this thread. The DH is a greedy selfish fucker.

Sorry to only just come back. I feel the need to tell you all there are now adverts for McDonalds all over this page 😂

As in pop ups...and the thread being a food one including dp wasting money on McDonalds.

Anyway.....he came home 2hrs after me and asked what there was for tea. I said the chicken curry he ate last night!
