DH took our DD out today at around 2pm. DD had lunch at 12.00. A sandwich and some fruit. Whilst out, DH bought DD some crisps before swimming and then a portion of chips after (at about 5pm). After this, they were going to an event which was supposed to have food for the kids but unfortunately, it had run out by the time they arrived. DD told DH she was hungry and the only thing you could buy there was crips, so DH bought her a pack to tide her over. DH gave DD a decent meal when she got home just after 8.

DD is 7 and in my opinion, going 8 hours whilst out and about and on the go, and having 2 packets of crisps and a portion of chips is not okay. I said to DH that he should have left the event when he realised they had no meal for her and got her something decent and then they could have returned. Or alternatively, he should have told me when we spoke on the phone as I’d have come and collected her and given her dinner.

DH thinks I am being completely overboard. He says he knows it wasn’t ideal but that she was fine and had a good meal when she got home.

Am I being OTT with this? Happy to be told I’m wrong if that’s the case.

She'd just had a portion of chips. She can't have been THAT starving. As a once off this is a total non issue.

Well do the same as your DH 🤷‍♀️

She had food, not the healthiest but she'd been swimming and to an event.

I'd be more annoyed if he never did these things and it was always left up to me. However if you nag him enough you may find that's exactly the outcome you get anyway.

This is a huge bugbear of mine ( where you are led to believe theres BUFFET or BBQ but theres o nly nibbles) Its happened to me a few times and, like youu, I have to mentally analyse it)
It always seems to be the same places/ people and Im guessing the people involved were quietly giggling.
You are NOT being unreasonable because when youre OUT AND ABOUT its Hungry Work!!!!!!!
I know what Im going to do in the future: In. Going to Turn Up at aforementioned house With MICROWAVE MEAL in hand.
I really dont care what people think.
Another time I was invited to a birthday gathering, where some of the people had trav er lled MILES. The only offering was a slice of the celebration cake. I went home hungry.
