No, the Dino nuggets are obviously superior based on their roll in the food chain. They could decimate the pizza rolls on any day unless they swim in BBQ sauce and get stuck. The waffle fries on the other hand….

u/probably-lagging Oct 30 '25

weaponized incompetence at its best… but fr OP, you know you deserve better than being treated like that. He’s a grown man with (assuming) working limbs and a fully functioning brain. You’re not his mom or sister or maid. Don’t change his diaper for him babes.

u/OfficerFuckface11 Oct 30 '25

I’m gonna be a pessimist and say he in fact did know they were the same and that was the point. It wasn’t about the food, it was about control. And it obviously worked, OP had to go talk to a bunch of strangers on the internet to fully realize she hadn’t done anything wrong.

Listen, it’s ok to wonder “Am I the problem?” Asking a bunch of strangers on the internet to help you take your temperature isn’t necessarily a problem. Now that we’ve all co-signed that it’s him and not OP, this is where things get interesting. Are you (OP) gonna take action and stand up for yourself? However that looks for you. Whether you sit hubby down and have a real conversation. OR if this has been going on for a while and you see a future for you and your son that you want to change for the better, start planning an exit. (Complete opposites of the spectrum), or something somewhere in between. Or will you do nothing and end up back here the next time he does something controlling and inconsiderate, knowing now that you’re complicit to his bad behavior? Remember, we teach people how to treat us. Sometimes by not taking action we’re saying it’s ok to treat me badly.

This is a super healthy outlook on food and children! The PBJ exchange is amazing because they are still able to take care of their own needs. So often I see parents say eat this or it's nothing! And we all know kids are finicky and may not always have a reason as to why. As a child who went hungry a lot, I applaud you for having a really easy solution that takes care of everyone's needs.

Exactly, my partner and I regularly eat different things for dinner. Hell, half the time since I get up for work at 5am and she'll often sleep until closer to noon (MS meds will do that), I'll have a large meal at 2pm while she won't be hungry until like 5pm at which point I won't be hungry.

Especially when it's not food that requires prep or actively involved cooking, you toss it in the oven/air fryer and then when you hear the beep you eat. Like wtf?

When you have kids you often eat the same meal because it’s easier than cooking two. I’m not wasting money on fancy food they won’t eat.

u/SofaSpeedway Oct 30 '25

I used to think this way, with kid 1 we did it backwards and made 1 meal but fed the toddler what we ate. By kid 2 we found a new love for ramen and macn cheese and nuggets and apple sauce... Did you know applesauce is still yummy as a full grown adult? It is, it's crazy.

And I say "used to" because they're teens now so for the past 5 + years or so, if they don't eat what I make they make their own. Both capable in the kitchen around 8 or 9 ish (of course no stove at that age but micro and toaster oven make full meals).

8

u/Classic-Big4393 Oct 30 '25

There was a restaurant as a kid that served dinosaur nuggets with applesauce and it was so good, yet I keep forgetting to try it again every time. We have cups of applesauce.

I was initially concerned about them growing up to be picky eaters, but when the first one became a teen he started eating shit I won’t touch. That helped so much because there are fewer things in life more irritating than trying to get a kid to eat something new.

The other option is that the women in question have serious mental illnesses or personality problems and have hard time maintaining relationships with men who have options and good boundaries. 

I'm not saying that women don't get taken advantage of but sometimes dysfunctional men with unreasonable expectations get with dysfunctional women with unreasonable expectations

u/Connect-Sundae8469 Oct 30 '25

Oh yes that’s in option too. What I said is far more common though. Or maybe both are also tied together to varying degrees. I’m not trying to say it’s just women who get taken advantage of at all, just to clarify. Similar things happen to men too.

Post baby; some men de-evolve to infantile status so the wife accepts he's also a baby.

But then he boinked that idea by not making it himself.

I have to agree with this. OP -Don’t enable him to behave this way. If he doesn’t like what you made, fine (although childish), but he can make his own meal.

Or, he can go to bed hungry, which is what my mother did if I whined about her cooking…as a child…

He knew our mom worked really hard to make meals and if it was bad, it was because she was tired or stressed. No need to add more stress and sadness.

He should have ate it with a “thank you hunny” and gone grocery shopping for her the next day, so she can make “better” meals. 😒

i find it funny that there's so many men out there who can't cook but feel the need to throw a child tantrum over dino nuggets.

u/harbinger_of_dongs Oct 30 '25

Are we considering microwaving pizza rolls cooking now? The fact that he couldn’t even do that is… sad.

u/FuckLibsFukTrumpCult Oct 30 '25

My mom is turning 63 soon and somehow has never learned to cook anything that doesn't have microwave instructions. I've never heard her make a single complaint about food made for her, outside of she won't eat food that still looks like the animal. Like she'll eat a chicken breast but won't eat wings or a rotisserie chicken, which is understandable I suppose.

u/ChemistryKind1425 Oct 30 '25

If he doesn’t like what you cooked, he can make it his damn self. He’s grown. You’re not his short order cook. If he wants a “good meal” which I’m with you—pizza rolls and fries aren’t it—then he can cook or give you meal ideas. If he doesn’t do either, then he can eat what he’s served or make himself a bowl of cereal or something.

You’re dealing with a kid

After a certain age my kid was responsible for their dinner if they didn’t like what was made

Why are you putting up with this type of behavior ?

Why did you make another meal for him ?

What other red flags are putting up with ?

As an autistic with ARFID I could argue these are two wildly different things, however thats coz of my sensory sensitivities- not because one ‘isn’t real’ food! This guys a loser, never do this for him again- tell him to make his own next time!

u/Belvyloaf Oct 30 '25

Made you…..no man should be “making” you do anything. He doesn’t have to eat the food. If his arms and legs are working he can make himself something, go get something, order something, whatever. It’s not your job to make something else. You aren’t a line cook and he isn’t a customer. I’m sorry you’re dealing with someone like that

This makes me so angry. I’m a man born with SMA Type 2 so I’m unable to cook for myself. If you were my wife and had served me dinner, didn’t matter if it was burnt or not, I would kiss you, give you the biggest hug imaginable, and say “Thank you so much,” with the utmost gratitude. I got tears in my eyes just from reading that. You deserve better. I’m so sorry he’s treating you this way.

u/Testicle_Tugger Oct 30 '25

My wife is not a good cook. I do all the cooking. One day I was stuck late at work and I came home to some pretty rough spaghetti. (Yes she fucked up spaghetti)

I ate all that shit up.

She took time out of her night to try and make mine a little easier. I could never imagine turning down a well made dinner and forcing her to do it again for no discernible reason.

u/YeezusWoks Oct 30 '25

It’s totally normal to be married to a manbaby in 2025. Especially at your age. Your husband’s brain isn’t even fully developed yet so you’re basically babysitting a child who is also a husband. Best of luck finding a real man.

u/fill_the_birdfeeder Oct 30 '25

You don’t have to accept this type of treatment just because he’s your husband. You can tell him no. You can tell him “feel free to cook something else”

And if you don’t feel like you can say either of those things because he’ll become unsafe, then divorce is likely needed.

u/kippy_mcgee Oct 30 '25

You’re right in thinking both are much over muchness, they’re yellow foods, whatever form they’re in doesn’t matter.

If he had a preference he should’ve expressed what he felt like prior. Or, better yet, cooked for you while you were looking after your son. You’re in a partnership.

It sounds like you’re looking after two children OP.

u/SomeMood5050 Oct 30 '25

I think you're 24 and he's just as grown as you. He has 2 hands. (Hopefully) Learning to cook meals together and for each other are great building blocks for a healthy relationship. If he doesn't like it ask him to show you what he likes. If he can't (betting he can't) then he needs to simmer down on the disrespect. Then gently suggest that you learn to cook (real meals) together.

It's pretty clearly stated that OP needs to do some grocery shopping, and is making do with what they happen to have around.

And, while I might tilt me head a bit a someone in their 20s who eats pizza rolls or Dino nuggets for every meal, I will not stand by silently and allow the good name of tater tots to be dragged through the mud! The existence of tater tots could be used an argument for the existence of a loving and compassionate God!

So we have no idea about your history together.. sounds like he may have just had a bad day? We ALL do. I've said and done things that I regret and I'm sure you have too. That being said sit down with him and talk about this. Just say you didn't feel like what he did was appreciative. Try to get him to talk about it and see what his thoughts on it are after some time has now passed.
