Both my family and my husband's family eat fruit as dessert for dinner.

You don't need fruit at every meal as long as you have enough in a day. So you are WRONG.

So what?

Fruit does not need to be part of every meal. Are you ESL?

PP didn't say it needs to be part of every meal.

what is ESL? I only know it as an educational class.

I agree that fruit does not need to be part of every meal. But I would add: Grains do not need to be part of every meal. Veggies do not need to be part of every meal. Meat does not need to be part of every meal. Dairy does not need to be part of every meal.

If your spouse would like to have fruit at dinner, what is the problem? Have some fruit on the table for him. Just because it is on the TJ le doesn’t mean you have to eat it. Ask him what kind of fruit he would like with dinner if that is an issue.

We always have fruit as our second or third course (we don't always have a starter). Every night! So I don't think your DH is weird but I think you might be

I currently have a plate with orange segments and blueberries to go with quesadillas and a chopped salad. But we have little kids. So they often eat a piece of fruit first to get them eating and thats cool with me.

While I think it’s weird that you’ve apparently decided what “dinner…should” be — for someone else. Why not actually include fruit or even a fruit and cheese course as part of a “full dinner”?

This question is weird enough by my standards that I wonder if you and your DH have ever had a conversation about what to eat.

I'm not going to guess what fruit he is in the mood for. I'm not going to cup up apples then throw them out if he wants oranges. Seems pretty controlling to do that.

why can’t you ask him?

He can get it himself. Why would I ask him?

Because you asked us and complained about him. Maybe direct your communication his way instead?

I didn't complain. I did communicate with him and told him to stop eating fruit WITH dinner.

why are you trying to control that? It seems a silly hill to die on. You need to accept that your spouse likes to have some fruit with dinner. You can’t control everything.

I would just be glad that he’s eating fruit and not junk food.

He is getting it himself and you are complaining about that.

My DD does not eat a lot of vegetables so I put both fruit and veggies out with dinner. We do not eat dessert often so I guess the fruit could count as that. Tonight we had burgers, carrots and graoes.

My kids have have fruit with nearly every meal since they started eating solid food. They are 10 and 12.
