Was i greedy
Recently I started trying to eat healthier, so I eat a little later than my partner and my son. Today was a little different. I made my meal a little earlier, but my son had already had a little something to eat, when I sat down to try and enjoy my meal, my son obviously came over and tried to ask for a bite (he's 2, nothing is sacred) i said, "baby, you just had some food.Can mommy eat this, please" my partner then told me that I was greedy and when trying to defend myself. He just made me look like the bad guy because I was using a bad tone in front of our son...So I ended up not even eating my dinner. I had a couple of bites and then ended up giving it to my son.Who eventually didn't want it anymore because it was cold and I lost my appetite from feeling so defeated, ended up throwing it away. Out of the hundreds of meals that I end up sharing with my son, I thought that it was okay for me to just enjoy that one.Now I feel like a terrible person.

You were not greedy, you are human and should get to eat without feeling bad about it.. if anything he could have went and got the LO a snack or backed you up of some sort..
You're not greedy. Your husband should be backing you up.
Not greedy at all. I go through the same with my husband. He doesn't understand setting boundaries. Neither does my MIL. I was eating a homemade trail mix (my pregnancy craving) and my son wanted some. It had cashews in it and my son is allergic to cashews. My husband is like "just let him try a gummy" 1. We don't give my son candy 2. It was in with the cashews and he's anaphylatic to cashews.

you’re not greedy at all. your food is your food, and it’s good for your son to learn that he can’t take from other people’s plates whenever he wants. why tf shouldn’t you be allowed to eat your meal to yourself? would your husband like it if you kept taking food from his plate even though you’ve just eaten?? that’s ridiculous, you need to eat just like they do. next time i’d sit myself in a different room entirely and eat your meal in the peace and quiet x
