Not playing his game and now he's mad

Last night I wanted to order take out for dinner. My husband is the picky eater so I ask him everytime what he wants. Majority of the time, it's "idk" or "Whatever you want" but then he won't like what I suggest. This can go on for hours until I just pick something that he may or may not like. He will complain if its something he didnt want even though he didn't give a suggestion! Once he laughed and told me, "Its funny when I do it"...after years of doing this i dont find it funny

Last night he did the "idk" and then turned down everything I offered then went silent. Instead of continuing on with guessing what he wants I just went "Nevermind" and went to bed without dinner. He then proceeded to get mad and heat up some leftovers. Now the next morning, he hasn't spoken to me all day 🙄. Like why does he think its cute to do that and then once I dont want to play now he's mad. I'm not a mind reader tell me what you want or go hungry! Hes the picky eater not me so I always try to accommodate him but I'm tired. Like why would someone do this?! Any suggestions on how to make it stop.

You were 💯% in the right. He shouldn't rely on you to always figure out dinner, then complain.

I would just do your own thing for food and he can decide himself if everything you pick isn't to his liking. That's probably more expensive but it may fix the problem?

Then he will learn to give input or shut up.

I would repeat the same thing every night 😂 I won’t even ask what he wants to eat, I’ll get/make what I want and then make him a plate if he eats good if he doesn’t great. I’ll eat it the next day 😂😂
You’re literally his wife not his mother

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
