To not go out to buy dinner for DS

[Sit123]

DS is 16. He's a very fussy eater and I've spent the day cooking dinner (something he likes). He then told me he doesn't want it and wants pasta. I told him he needed to have what we are having as we don't have pasta and if he wants pasta he should go to the shops and buy some for himself, hes refused and expects me to go and buy some. I've said no, AIBU?

Er nope!

As I say to my teenage DS's - you've got legs!

What????

How in Gods name did he get this fuckung entitled??

No, on the face of it, YANBU at all. However, am wondering what dinner took you all day to cook?

Hah , hardly. He's just being an entitled teen, leave him to it. If he wants pasta he can both buy and cook it. I always tell mine if they think I'm running a restaurant then they need to pay me restaurant prices.

YANBU whatsoever!!

Assuming there is a huge back story here

No not at all.

Nope.

my ex’s DD was a fussy eater and he would make food that she didn’t want and he would go out and get her food. I thought it was ridiculous. And unattractive 😁

Lol. You got a wrong'un there, OP.

I have the same thing I spend fucking ages planning meals I know they like and eat I make mine gluten free ds 1 without (insert dislike here) ds 2 without (dislike) so we can all eat the "same" meal only for one to decide they want something I actually don't have and expect me to produce it out of my arse

Ffs NO! If they haven't eaten all day (common schoolday occurrence) they get a choice eat the food or eat toast somedays they eat the food somedays they eat the toast (going to bed hungry isn't an option because they don't sleep well at the best of times)

When I was his age I was a vegetarian and had to make my own meals a lot of the time. I was happy to.

You honestly dont know if youre being unreasonable?? Really?

I can just imagine my parents (and most parents of that generation) allowing me and my siblings to decided we didn't like the food, we would have 2 options: eat it or starve
We usually took the 2nd option

What did he say when you managed to stop laughing?

He should be making his own food at 16 anyway

No, he's 16. If he doesn't want what you cook he can make his own, and go to the shop and buy it if you don't have it in

At 16 with no other issues other than not liking what you cooked, he is more than capable of buying pasta from a shop.

Why on earth would you even need to ask this question? Of course YANBU.

At 16 I was cooking all my own meals, doing the food shop and even cooked Christmas Dinner for my family. I think he will be fine eating what's been made for him and at some point he is going to have to learn the world does not revolve around him.

It’s perfectly obvious yanbu, so what’s the real issue here?

At 16, he ought to have some manners. If he really wants pasta, though, he should go out and get some and cook it for himself.

Why do you need to ask if you are being unreasonable. Surely you must know you're not? You've cooked a meal. End of. If he wants different food he cooks it himself. He's 16 not 3.

@Superfrog3

WHY did you revive this thread from MAY???

My bad 😂

@Superfrog3 How did you even find it? Did you google this subject? If MN threw it at you as a 'you may also be interested in' etc then we need to report it to them as they promised they'd stop doing that with old threads.
