[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Some of you ask what I have for dinner. I fix something for myself at home before going to work. It can be tuna salad or a roast chicken sandwich but my wife won't eat the same foods. We can have half a rotisserie chicken in the fridge but she'll still get nuggets at McDonald's. It defies logic and she's also a very picky eater. For example, she won't eat fish or avocado even though these are healthy food items. We have two fridges in our house and a lot of food gets wasted because she won't cook them. I do the grocery shopping but it doesn't seem to be helping because she's not actually making anything with the groceries I buy.[/quote]

I think you need to step up your efforts a notch and make full prepared meals for the kids and insist your wife gives them to your kids.  Since they are young, you could get some sectioned containers and put in something like cheese, crackers, fruit and cold chicken.  Other days make something she can just microwave.  Yes, the stay at home parent should cook, but clearly you have taken a lot is steps to make it easy and your wife is refusing.  This is not good for the kids.  McDonalds  once a week is fine.  Every night will set up long term health problems.

I think you also need to start documenting this behavior and seeking a lawyer in case making the meals for her does not work. Then when you are ready, use divorce as a threat for your wife to do better for the kids.  Also seek mental health help for her.

You also need to stop judging your wife for her picky eating.  Lots of people do not eat fish or avocado.  Lots of people like junk and do not like to eat healthy food.  Stop focusing on her likes and dislikes and focus on what she is feeding your kids.[/quote]
