"I expect her to start working overtime for food"

Many men get pressured to meet their family's demands and wants as husbands and fathers. The majority of men still feel accountable for providing for their families, despite the fact that gender roles are shifting and women are increasingly being the primary breadwinners in the home.
Finding and keeping a solid, secure job is the first step toward meeting fundamental necessities. You can't dependably support your family without a consistent source of income.
Furthermore, you don't want to live beyond your means, even though you want to give the best. The OP of today's story is a father of two kids who is doing his best to provide for his family.
Everyone knows that food is expensive and the OP was lucky enough to get a deer. He ground it up for ground meat and went further to say:
Basically when you cook it you just think it is normal ground meat, especially when you do recipes with spices like tacos. My issue is with me wife, we have two kids that are under 7. The oldest is fine eating it but my youngest hates it due to my wife. The first time I made some meatloaf with it my wife commented that it’s Bambi.
OP's wife doesn’t like to eat it but he would think she would see that this is to save money and the food is fine. Their kids need protein and meat is so expensive right now but still, his wife refused to yield.
And here's the headline...

Reddit/DentistTerrible8768OP's youngest child was already eating it and his wife came in and made a comment
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:
I told my wife to work overtime for food if she won’t eat deer. I may have been to harsh even though we need to be saving money
The Reddit post went viral with thousands of comments and here are a few of the most upvoted ones
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768None of this is in question
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768OP being frustrated with his wife is evident
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768The OP is doing what he can to feed his family
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768The OP has been able to cut out buying meat
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768Some people just do not know how to show appreciation
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768He's asking her to stop making the kids not to eat it
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768There are plenty of ways to get protein into your diet
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768Let her prep something for herself by buying a different protein
Reddit/DentistTerrible8768Some Redditors say that OP's children ought to be aware of the source of their food and the price paid for ensuring their survival. It's okay for his spouse to feel that deer meat is repulsive, but she must learn to regulate her emotions and cease to purposefully undermine the children's responses to it.
Alternatively, as the OP has indicated, she can figure out how to provide a substitute on her own. The OP was declared not the AH eventually.
