Two burgers and chips is too much?

[UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter]

Just that. Everyone else is having bolognaise but H doesn’t want it. We have some burgers in the fridge so trying to be nice I said he can have burgers.
now he’s sulking because I won’t go to the supermarket to buy burger cheese and some frozen chips! For clarity he doesn’t drive so it would be difficult for him to go but I’ve said why do you want chips when you’ve asked for two burgers.
for clarity it’s two large burgers in buns with salad and was going to put potato salad and coleslaw on the side. But he wants chips!
he’s now saying he doesn’t want anything.

iabu- chips with two burgers is fine
ianbu- two burgers are plenty.

YANBU. He's being fussy and petty. Let him make his own dinner.

He can choose to eat what he wants but you don't have to facilitate it.

Why did you say he could have them 'to be nice'

You sound scared of him

dear lord. Tell him to stop being a sulky arsehole and let him sort his own dinner out.

It doesn't really matter how many burgers he has or doesn't have. He's rejected the meal choice and is having something else so it's up to him to get whatever it is he wants and not yours.

An adult man is complaining about his dinner? Good lord. He’ll have to cope without his chips.

Yabu- why is this even a conversation? Let him get his own dinner. What a brat.

He's a grown man, surely he can regulate his own appetite??

In the words of Mick Jagger, you can’t always get what you want.

Chips are not available and there is plenty of other stuff to eat. If he wants to sulk about the injustice of a world that won’t supply him chips on demand I’d just leave him to it.

I wouldn’t say scared of him but aware that his moodiness has the ability to ruin everyone’s day!

Number of burgers doesn't matter, he shouldn't be sulking or demanding you go out and buy stuff. He can eat what he wants if he gets it himself surely

Sulky baby should make his own dinner then

I'd be furious with him, what kind of example is he setting to your children? Don't like dinner, refuse it and make mum go out and buy you chips?! Ffs.

If he doesn't want what you are making for everyone else, he can make his own.

What a child. I couldn't even contemplate having sex with someone who threw a strop over their dinner.

Is the potato salad already made? Do you have more potatoes? If so I'd tell him to make chips if he wants them so much.

The mardy arse child can sort his own dinner. And 2 burgers in 2 buns plus chips is fucking greedy.

Corner shops sell frozen chips and cheese slices if he that bothered. He can walk to a shop.

Please don’t say you live in the arse-end of nowhere with him.

You must be treading on eggshells all day! Is this a recent change?

How ridiculous - if he doesn't want what's on offer he can provide for himself!

Why can’t he cook?

At a bbq, I would eat two burgers but not for a normal dinner.

Yes this. You dont get to police what he eats, he could have 5 burger and chips if he wants - as long as he doesnt expect someone else to go and get it for him!

It’s his appetite and it’s not up to you to decide what is or what isn’t enough food to satiate it. But it is also not down to you to facilitate the filling of his stomach, so if he wants chips so badly he will just have to either walk to the shop and buy some or cut some potatoes and make some homemade ones won’t he? 🤷🏻‍♀️

If he doesn't want bolognese he should be sorting his own tea.

He has been offered 2 perfectly reasonable suggestions for dinner: bolognese or 2 burgers. He is not a child and is perfectly capable.of planning and .making his own dinner, utterly ridiculous to expect you to run around after him. Let him starve.
