Is this normal?

Is it normal for my husband to make me feel bad for buying our child McDonald’s? My son is 2 1/2 and had McDonald’s for the first time yesterday. I didn’t get him any meat, it was literally just a cheeseburger without meat and some fries. And my husband has brought it up multiple times about how he feels like I just fed our son the worst thing in the entire world. I am pregnant, so maybe I’m being a little sensitive, admittedly. But it just bothered me that he’s making such a big deal out of it. I’m a people pleaser to a fault so it does affect me when my husband is verballydisappointed. Please note, my husband buys our son Taco Bell like once a month and mentioned he’d rather have him have Wendy’s than McDonald’s. To me, it’s literally potato potawto lol.

If he’s having Wendy’s and taco bell I don’t understand why/how McDonald’s is worse? If your husband only fed him home cooked meals I’d understand, but fast food is fast food. I don’t think you’re being sensitive

Is your son a vegetarian? Why would you get a cheeseburger without meat lol. But yes your husband is being silly. No fast food is good for you but every once in awhile isn't going to hurt.

Once in a while is fine. It’s part of growing up. Having a happy meal.

Nah your hubs is wrong to do that. Especially if he’s getting it once a month from taco bell

I agree with @Harley I don't understand how taco or Wendy's would be a better option than some bread and cheese from McDonald's!😅 I'd ask him. Maybe he knows something that we don't... Generally I'd avoid Fastfood for a pregnant lady and a child under 3 but I would never judge. As long as it brings you joy it could be beneficial once in a while

No it’s not normal to make anyone feel bad for anything. It’s normal to make a request. But being critical will have anyone feeling upset. Plus he’s a hypocrite because all fast food is the same pretty much.

Im just sharing this because McDonalds is the topic at hand. I think you made a great choice by not giving him the meat https://www.instagram.com/p/DBcPRDTz_2m/?igsh=MW5xangxN3JxcDNxNw== But to answer your question, I don’t think it’s ok that your husband is making you feel bad. You’re pregnant & just trying to make sure your son is fed. Keep doing your best mama, your son will be fine
