Am I selfish for eating before kids?
I had just fed our one year a bunch of broccoli puffs. He’s one so he whines and throws fits a lot which is perfectly normal. My husband ordered us food from doordash, so I made our son food and was waiting for it to cool off. Then I sat down and started eating my own food because I was really hungry. My son started getting whiny so my husband picked him up and proceeded to yell at me that me eating before our son is the most selfish thing I do. I was confused because he has two hands, he can feed him? But since he works and I’m a SAHM I guess I should do everything all the time. I was extremely hurt by this because I already have a bad relationship with food and feel fat all the time so him saying that felt like the worst slap in the face ever. Am I in the wrong for not feeding our son before I ate myself just because he was getting a little bit whiny? He had just had a big snack. I feed that child constantly, I can assure everyone he does NOT go hungry. You can tell that by looking at him. My feelings are so hurt.
In reality my husband was just pissed that my son whining was ruining his meal and I wasn’t tending to him.
