    I seriously don't know what to feed my OH to fill him up.

    Today he's had, bowl of frosties, and a cereal bar, a sausage bap, chicken breast with 2 yorkshire puddings, mash, 2 croquettes, a mars bar, 2 x milky bar yoghurt dessert things, 2 x packets of hula hoops, 1 muller light and has just made himself spaghetti hoops and 4 slice of toast :eek:

    Apparently that's a normal reasonable amount, how can that be?!?! His diet is full of crap, which is probably why he's hungry but how am I supposed to raise a child to eat normally with that around?!?!
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    It must be a man thing. My OH will have a Subway on the way to work, get to work and eat a full breakfast, finish and grab a snack on the way home, eat something like eggy bread when he gets in, then have a snack, then have dinner, then have a massive pack of cookies with a cup of coffee.
    Back in the day, we used to eat lunch together on Fridays. He'd eat pie and chips at work, then meet me at the pub, eat a starter and follow it down with a steak.
    Fat gits aren't they?
    And if your OH is anything like mine, I bet he never puts on an ounce!

    Mines isn't tall or anything and lost loads of weight a few years ago, but he's gradually putting it all back on, and I know how much it gets to him, it doesn't bother me, I'm not a skinny minnie but I don't want him to feel like crap either. I've tried joking about how much he eats but I don't think he takes much notice.

    He'l sometimes say "oh I'm putting on some amount of weight I have to cut back" but he never does, but I know how depressed he was last time.

    I really feel for you. My OH is an a*s a lot, but even so, I know I'm lucky he's here.
    Just remember that you've got a beautiful little baba growing inside you, and your OH will be home in a few weeks, and then you'll have OH and mommy cuddles :D xxx
