Hey! Which sandwiches did you do?

We do porridge with either berries or banana for breakfast, egg ‘muffins’ or egg bites. Fritters, so sweetcorn or grated courgette with flour and egg then fried. I’ve tried banana pancakes but she doesn’t like those for some reason. Corn on the cob she loves, also pastry wheels so puff pastry with spinach and cream cheese inside. There’s lots of butternut squash at the moment so roasted butternut, whizzed up in a blender with a little low salt stock (or just water!) with mild herbs and spices and used as a pasta sauce with pasta. Pitta bread with home made hummus/smashed avocado/tuna (in spring water) mashed with full fat yogurt. Pizzas - so pitta or pizza dough topped with home made pasta sauce (just tinned toms, onion, garlic, herbs) topped with a little cheese.

Hope that gives some ideas!

Really random one but my little boy loves an avocado and tuna mix
Or little pizza pinwheels that I make with puff pastry and then cook and freeze,
Or a crumpet with cashew butter he loves!xx

Breakfast is always some variation of weetabix with fruit and yoghurt or milk. Then, I often make extra dinner portions so they can be lunch for the following day. Always have some frozen homemade tomato sauce and sweet potato to go with pasta or beans, and pre-prepared veggies in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Ooh and breakfast, he likes the Yeo valley little yeos with either some tesco branded cheerios,
Or porridge with fruit puree mixed in(i usually make apple and mango and freeze it)
Or the yoghurt with a crumpet with cashew butter

For breakfast I usually do weetabix either on its own or with some fruit added, sometimes some ‘overnight oats’ or if it’s for quickness just a bit of toast with some smashed banana or even just butter

Lunches I usually do whatever I can find: pasta lunches, ‘pizza toast’ tuna and sweetcorn patties, savoury muffins, puff pastry pizza pinwheels and usually just had a little bit of fruit on the side. With most of this lunch stuff you can batch cook it and freeze it with just a very few ingredients which I find very handy

Am I in the wrong?

So my MIL has been weird with me from day 1. My partner and I fell pregnant within months of seeing each other so we understood her reaction to me being pregnant was never going to be positive.

She then started going through a divorce when I hit the 12 week mark and we moved out, she didn’t reach out for a couple of weeks but we assumed she was just busy with lawyer stuff so didn’t pester. However weeks then turned into months etc. my partner would text his mum and she’d ignore the texts.

I was 8.5 months pregnant when she decided she wanted to come back. She apologised to us both directly for being absent my entire pregnancy and explained she was depressed, struggling etc. we decided to forgive her and let it go.

Our son was born August 2023 and the first year of his life she was present and a great grandmother to him, don’t get me wrong she was still “off” with me like whenever I would speak about my son she wouldn’t respond to me, she would come over and not really engage much with me, make snidely comments about me going back to work at 5 months PP despite the fact I’m providing for her son to be a stay at home dad etc but I just thought I’d be civil for my son. We got engaged in October 2023, she didn’t congratulate us.

January 2025 she started being VERY OFF. She deleted me off all social media’s for no reason, blocked my number. My partner asked why and she said she didn’t like me as a person. So I decided from then on if she wanted to see our son my partner would take him to her.

The rest of 2025, she was very inconsistent. We would ask her to take our son as she usually would and she’d say “can’t I’m dying my hair today” and silly excuses. We then had 4 miscarriages that year and not once did she send condolences or offer to support. It got to August, our sons bday and she got him 2 of the same gifts we did - she came to our house and I said aw it’s okay these things happen no big deal. Her mood changed and when my parents arrived my son got really excited and she left. She then text my partner that night saying my parents were rude to her and turning our son against her? 😂 he’s 2!!!!!

My partner had enough and had a go at her, saying no wonder my son was excited to see my parents when he sees them every 2 weeks. Since then she went in a mood and stopped speaking to us and visiting or allowing my partner to visit.

We fell pregnant in August 2025 and this baby has stuck. We shared our pregnancy with family and she hasn’t contacted us. From August to Feb 2026 she was radio silent, hasn’t asked for our sons at all. Ignoring texts.

Today, she has contacted my partner to try apologise and worm her way back in, I told my partner I’m having none of it and she won’t be seeing our son or new baby as she yet again has disappeared for over 6 months for no reason which isn’t fair on us or our son as he’s getting older and more aware!

Am I being reasonable? The way I see it is if this was a parent acting this inconsistent and being deadbeat they wouldn’t be allowed to run back in.

Are we teaching them that circumcised boys are dirty and unclean?

I’ve been with my partner 3 years, when we have sec i always orgasm, he makes the effort to make sure I do, but it’s probably cause I’m always thinking about a woman 🤦🏻‍♀️ since having a our baby 8mo I feel it’s become less maybe once a week and more of a chore to him, I just don’t feel desired or wanted enough, feels laboured and boring, I buy sexy outfits, toys to spice things up, and never say no to his advances but they very few and far between, it’s mainly me making the moves, I do love him but I can’t get the thought of having sec with another woman out of my mind 😫 helppppp, UK W.Yorkshire

You’re at the check out and notice the cashier gives you senior citizen discount. You’re very clearly under the cut off. Would you be excited for the extra savings or offended?

Turns out Monday morning at my Kroger and the lady slipped it in without saying anything. This has happened to my mom before and we were both obviously happy with a random discount but one of my sisters in law said she’d die if that happened to her because she’d be so embarrassed 😂

Something you’d never buy second hand?

What is something you’d never buy second hand and can’t believe people do. For me it’s clearly very worn shoes or mattresses🥴
