Was I wrong to expect my boyfriend to buy my kids food too?

  1. You definitely kinda overreacted. They stopped for food on the way home. It’s that simple. 2. You made a mistake by leaving and not talking about it to begin with. And you gave him A LOT of space so he probably assumed you were done. He’s obviously hurt and made his decision at this point in time. The only thing you can do is apologize to him about it and inform him you miss him and hope to work it out.

Honestly the only reason you’re hurt is probably because it was his son and your kids. You’re taking offense due to the blended nature of it. Had all four been yours and his you probably wouldn’t of flinched had he bought food for the one on the way home. They were hungry man. And I would like to point out when you went to the bar to blow off steam he was probably the one sitting at home caring for your kids without so much as a word from you. Not knowing what you were doing he probably thinks you went and got some strange. Who knows what he thinks because you blew up on him and then didn’t try to reconcile.

You are definitely wrong- if he wasn’t even with your kids and was just him and his kid all day!

Give your head a shake……

There’s more to him leaving then just this instance obviously……

Ya you are wrong pay for your own damn kids! They’re not his responsibility men hate that!

Take care of your own.

He has 1 kid 8 days a month and you have to ruin it ??? He deals with yours all the time and he’s splitting bills 50% for 3 kids that aren’t his?!?

Entitled……disgusting

You’re making it hard for the rest of us.

No you were not wrong in being upset that he didn’t buy your kids food. That’s not right. He should be treating your kids like his own as well.

My interpretation is that the problem stems from what he did but your reaction was also crap. You went out both nights and didn’t deal with it. Did he stay home with the kids while you went out or were they at their dads etc? I think yous either need to communicate or call it a day

Where were your kids when you went out 2 nights in a row? He was within the boundary if he let his son eat out unless he brought the food home & let him eat in front of your kids. You could have just gotten food for your kids instead of going out by yourself 2 nights in a row.

Sounds like a pretty petty reason for a break up so it must have been a shaky relationship before this day and this was his last straw. There is nothing wrong with a dad that only sees his son 8 days a month, compared to being with your kids every day, to stop after a long day at work with him to grab a bite or to spend quality time with his son without you or your kids. He’s trying to be a good dad and you should appreciate that. Also seems like your solution to a issue is to run to the bar or gamble. I think my question wouldn’t be why he left but why not :woman_shrugging:t3:

Why didn’t you just buy your kids food with the money that you spent at the bar and casino if it was really about your kids being left out … Also, since it was such a big deal that he didn’t get your kids food, I’m assuming that they were at the house when you left to go to the bar and casino and he had to watch them for two nights in a row while you went and had fun instead of talking like an adult?? Yeah, I’d have my shit packed and ready too.

I guess it depends on how stopping for food happened…if the kids ate in the car and was finished by the time he got home thats one thing. If he bought it and had the kid walk in the house and eat thats another story. Thats rude. Honestly if y’all are fighting over this its over.

Honestly he’s going to act like that towards your children and you and just leave like that just let him go it’s not worth it if if you needed space then you would have said that he wouldn’t have just packed up and left and if he wanted to work out he wouldn’t even left

Sometimes God takes people that aren’t good for you out of your life. Don’t run after them!!!

He should have asked. If you already made dinner then ok. But that’s odd behavior. You were in a relationship, you are supposed to share things. And if he doesn’t want to buy your kids a couple of happy meals, then I think you dogged a bullet. Time to change your status and the locks.

Um, wow! I’m just curious if you make note of each time you do for your kids while his son isn’t there and get him those things he missed out on when he comes over. This blows my mind that you got so mad over a “happy meal” that you had to go cool off at the bar…. He only has his son 8days/month and they were out together and he bought his lunch. He should not be made to feel bad for this. Sounds like you are one of those “my kids” “your kid” people and he was probably smart to go. My husband and I are together with 2 kids but we do things individually with them as well. I’m sure there are times you go out to lunch with only your kids! If they were all with him and he only bought for one that’d be different, but in this scenario seems as you are in the wrong.

I think you over reacted and then escalated things further by ignoring him and going out. Not for just one night but two nights in a row. Where were your kids while you were doing this? Quite frankly, I wouldn’t tolerate that behavior in my relationship either. Instead of trying to work it out you bail. I feel like people get so hung up of this kid vs that kid when they try to blend family’s and it just causes chaos. (I my self and from and have a blended family) I’ve witnessed it my whole life. Have you never talked just one of your kids somewhere doctors, dentist, school pick up and grabbed that one child you had with you a bite to eat? What’s the big deal? There is none. I know when I’ve picked up my son or daughter and had to be somewhere with one I’ve gotten them individual meals. If the kid is hungry he’s hungry. He’s done and to be honest there is quite a lot from reading this immaturity in your relationship. If you’re starting petty fights like this then going out I’m sure you’re doing it more times than not. He’s probably sick of your behavior. Sounds like you both need to move on.

I’m confused… so they was an hour away and his son was hungry. So he stopped on the way to feed him and you’re mad about not bringing home cold food from McDonald’s. Also they don’t have food where they are and he probably assumed y’all have food at home.

No you weren’t wrong! If you include his son so should he include yours! Let him go. He sounds like a petty little F*ck! Btw, he is quiet, and ignoring you which is another form of emotional/ mental abuse! Your kids are depending on you to protect them from guys like this. Life is too short, find someone who is willing to be your life partner not a petty little boy! Move on!

Should have dealt with it before leaving for 2 nights in a row. If you two cant figure out how you want to feed your children, then it’s probably best to to find a partner who can. I wouldve been pissed if he kept buying my children mcdonalds or any garbage food like that honestly. And i surely wouldnt be upset if they missed out on it. This behavior sounds immature for a mother of 3. Let him go or change things. If you both cant manage something this trivial then, let it go.

If they child ate in the car what’s the big deal?? If they brought it home you should of went and got your kids something and just talk to him about it. Maybe he was trying to have a father son day parents are aloud to do that. I think you over reacted . He foes get his son that much but you have your children more so you have time to spoil them.

If the food was brought home in front of the other kids i would say its wrong. But if it was eaten before hand he wasnt wrong. The kid was hungry from being at work and needed to eat. But if it was brought home then yeah he should have included all of them.

With that said, your behavior was absolutely wrong regardless. You dont take off partying for 2 days because your bf didnt act exactly the way you wanted him to. That is NOT how a mature relationship works. You acted very immature. You stay and have adult conversations and work it out. You dont run off and party. Sounds like he aint for the immaturity.

Ya I think the having a issue bout him not buying your kids food isn’t what the real issue is. It was just what broke the camels back per say. Also he’ll I have had one of my kids or two with me and gotten them food on way home and not the others cause others had been eating and ones with me hadn’t. :woman_shrugging:t2: or when youngest two where not in school yet but brother was we had McDonald’s and we didn’t get their older one some. I don’t think he needed to bring your kids anything tbh.

Also to add you running off doing WHSTEVER for two days not cool. Should of stayed and talked it out and also where were your kids when you did this? Did you leave them with him to babysit them?

He didn’t need to buy them food. His child was with him and was taken on the way home. If you wanted your kids to have some, you could’ve taken them out for it. And I’m sure you treat his kid differently without realizing. Most do because there’s a certain bond with your own vs. others. Your actions are the more alarming ones here.

You’re not wrong for feeling that way but you also have to understand they grabbed food on the way home. do you know the timing of
The matter?? Like did they grab food when they just left for an hour drive? He could have called and let you know they would get food before heading home and you guys could go get ur own. My thing is, don’t bring food/snacks etc for just one kid when there’s more kids at home. But if they were out and about it shouldn’t be a big deal. I do this with my own kids at times. If we’re out shopping and I only have one kid we may get a bite afterwards. Sounds like a communication issue between you two. It’s unfortunate it’s come down to this.

If he moved out due to that one issue it’s a one sided relationship just move on.

Get over it…u are in the wrong with this one and quite frankly dnt blame him for leaving…I’m sure he does for ur kids any other time wen his isn’t around…where’s the concern then? Now an example of a good time to be pissy would be if ur kids had to eat home cooked meals while their dad and his new gf go out and pick up food for themselves and their half siblings regularly without thinking of them at all. By that I mean leaving before I cook. We all live under the same roof…long story…my girls dad will do more for his sons with his gf than ours. That’s something to make a big deal about. Not him stopping to eat with his son whom he only sees 8 days a month after working his ass off and still having an hour ride to get home.

If he brought it back to the house to eat in front of the other kids, it was inconsiderate and rude. If he ate on the way home, I don’t see the issue.

No you’re not wrong to be mad at him for not buying your kids food,
What you did wrong was run away from the situation to go play darts at a bar,
Then the next night you run to the casino, Like a little child does when they get in trouble!
And another thing where was the kids?
How would you have liked it if he run to the bar, two nights in a row??
Y’all have too many kids to be playing these childish games!!
Both of y’all need to grow up and act like adults!!

He & his son only get limited time - he did nothing wrong … If the kid was at work with him all day he was most certainly hungry by the time it was time to head home … You & your kids were at home & I’m assuming you all had food to eat … No sense in making the son wait - if a kid is hungry feed them !
You on the other hand threw a wall eyed tizzy fit !! Leaving to go to the bar to play darts (Im guessing you left your kids with him at home) then going to the casino the next night (I’m guessing you left your kids with him Again) was a complete baby assed move !!

I don’t really think it’s wrong to want him to get something for the other kids too IF they’re going to be eating in front of them, but it’s not something I would get upset over it’s not a big deal and absolutely understandable as his kid was with him and the others weren’t.
However I think you messed up going out. I understand some cool down time, but I can’t imagine going off to the bar when arguing with my partner…a walk maybe, another room…but then sort it out. It doesn’t really sound like you gave him a chance to have a conversation with you if you weren’t even around.
Sure seems like a lot of this story is being left out, there’s gotta be more that’s been going on leading up to this…I don’t believe “he just left over buying food for your kids”

I think it’s the fact that after the ‘food’ incident, you purposely went out two days in a row, leaving him alone with all four kids by himself, and you not properly communicating with him instead… By you being petty and leaving him alone over such an overly dramatic situation, you showed him your true colors. He was with his child that day, and he can buy him a meal, and only him because they were out at the time. He’s not obliged to buy the entire family food when he’s spending one on one time with his child he barely gets to see as it is.
