My kids go to nursery from 1pm till 6.30pm. My husband picks them up at 6.30 as i am still at work at this time. I have asked him to give them something to eat when they get home just incase they didnt get much to eat at nursery. I have only asked him to give them something small like beans on toast or something, but he never does he just puts them straight to bed. How can i make sure they are getting enough food without leaving my job?

Twinsters, i just want to add that my kids are not being abused atall and i do have time for them, but some people need to work!
My husband is not lazy, i have now spoken to him about this problem and he has told me that he is too worried to cook for them as he does not want it to be uncooked (he has never cooked), we have now spoken about this and we have arranged something! Thanks for the advise from people that didnt judge

Oh yeah twinsters one more thing. How do you know my kids dont have fun. They are always doing things that they want to do and things that they enjoy doing. We always go on family holidays to, but i suppose i can afford to do that seeing as i work

What a lazy so and so!!!
Maybe you could make up some homemade meals (which could be microwaved), or some sandwiches that hubby could give them. Leave them in the fridge and all he would have to do is take it out, take this cling film off and give it to them.
You need to have words with him though (I bet you already have!!). Is he not concerned that the kids aren't getting enough food?
Grrr, men!!!

Well he is an sob that he won't even feed his own kids! UGH... I don't know the ages of your kids, but I am assuming either they or your husband can warm up a can of chefboyardee or make a bolw of cereal.. I mean for real! If he won't then make something the day before like leftovers to warm up or get pepporoni rolls at the store and keep them where the kids can reach them if they are hungry. Maybe yougurt in the fridge, or some grapes and other fruit for them to snack on...
I'm sorry but I cannot believe he won't feed them, but I bet the jerk finds food for himself!
My children eat usually early around 5 and I know they get hungry by 730-8 so I let them have a snack before bedtime...

its not just food you should be worring about the poor little things are being abused the way they are being treated.if you can't change you job at least change they way these children are being looked after to come home from a nursary and be put to bed without any tea, why do you have children if you have no time for them ,have a serious word with him and get these kids some fun in their little lifes..

that's kinda bogus.. i might not be a mother but i am a big sister for my little brother and sister. sometime my older brother don't take care of them. he'll just play the game for ever. he don't fed them or anything. and i always say to myself why do i always gotta watch them when i want to go out some where? but the reason is because my brother don't take care of his responsiblity! i always take care of them as if they were my own kids and i'm only 17! but what u should do is talk to ur husband about it. when he married u, he knew what his responsiblities were. he shouldn't just send the kids to bed without eating, that's just wrong. so just talk to him about it and ask him why doesn't he feed them! and how would he feel if he was in ur kids shoes if they were hungry!!

Sounds to me like your husband is a bit lazy. Maybe you should give him a call at say seven, when you know they will be in and remind him to feed your kids. Remind him that they are his kids too and that he needs to take part in taking care of them.

Tell your husband to make sure they eat maybe you will have to call from work and ask him if he feed them.

Leave him and get someone who cares more about your children than your husband who obviously cares more about himself!
