[quote=Anonymous]If your spouse was normally in charge of meals and you worked a double shift and arrived home to learn that spouse had popped out to get dinner for themself and not even considered getting you anything, you would be angry.  Not because you are bad at “adulting” and can’t manage to fix yourself something but because you felt ignored and unloved bc someone failed to meet an expectation they had set and didn’t think about or care how that failure impacted you.

It’s not an expectation that you get your kid takeout every time you eat out.  It is an expectation that you either provide dinner of some kind (carryout, leftovers from last night, a freezer meal you know they like), or communicate in advance to let them know that they will be on their own to figure out dinner.  For example stopping for their own takeout or fast food, or making a sandwich in the morning to eat on a break so they aren’t starving, or prepping dinner the night before so they can come home to something quick.[/quote]
