Postpartum Freezer Meal prep ideas…

So I’m in need of freezer meal prep ideas… so far I have made lasagne, sausage casserole, meatballs in a bolognese sauce (without the pasta because we can make that fresh on the day) and cottage pie. I’ve also prepped some breakfast English muffins (like the McDonald’s muffins) so we have something easy if we need it.
My partner is working on being healthier and losing weight, and it’s really important to us both that he stays on track. We also have a 3 year old that needs balanced meals. Any ideas of what I can prepare so we can navigate the newly postpartum exhaustion but eat something that will be good for us all and my recovery?

Nursery bill

Would your nursery bill be adjusted to a slightly lower price if you made the nursery aware of your child having a day off for a holiday?

Am I crazy

So unfortunately I was helping my mother in law with her phone. I saw messages between her and my husband talking shit on me. What would you do? Most he instigated but she contributed a good amount...

Patner makes fun of my weight and my exhaustion

I take care of our little one, does whatever required of me in terms of running the household, I work two long shift, have not had my hair washed in months, i am coming down with the flu and I look tired. Each time I am not energetic he goes I have to look at your face which is moodiness.. oh let me guess your tired (tease me and laugh). When we argue he come for my weight, mind you am breastfeeding and I have PCOS plus he is not skinny either.

I have to take this until I finish my training because I have nobody to watch take my daughter to nursery and pick her up. Stay with her until am back in the night. This is probably it for the next 18 months atleast...

First date night gone wrong ?

I was looking forward to going out with him and he had even surprised me with and outfit (I had got him to book the event and I have been banging on about we don’t do anything nice and he doesn’t take control ever) I was so excited. He had got his mate and his wife to come too I don’t mind them they are okay. We bump into his 3rd friend at the event who I dislike due to him being a terrible influence on my husband.

But husband has drank loads but after the event wants to go out out. It’s our first night out together I’ve drove so he could drink he got to see all his friends at this even he got to sing dance and drink with them.

It was around 10 and I had said let’s go home to our baby he said he wants to go for 1 pint and asked if I’ll be okay driving home myself. I said “we are going home you’re not going out now” I get in to my car upset and he comes over opens the door and is like it’s just one drink.

I leave crying and racing away. 3 hours later he’s ended up elsewhere didn’t even see if I got home okay or if I’m just okay In general. I wasn’t trying to be controlling.

He had pre drinks at 5 and drank the whole time at the event. I wanted the rest of the night with him.

This has really affected me because we’ve been married for 2 years and all I’ve ever asked for was communication and he’s mocked that.

Am I being too much ?

Weaning

My baby is 4 and a half months and is on the 15th centile. She has 2 8oz bottles a day and drains them, the rest of the day breastfed. The HV has advised I up to 9oz and if her centile doesnt increase and she drains 9oz, we may need to see GP to see about early weaning. Has anyone else done this? What food/purees did you start with?

Partner leaving early in the morning

My partner leaves early in the morning stating he has to sort a few things out but never tells me what he's doing. I'm left 7 months pregnant to look after our 9 month old son every day for hours and when I send him a message I don't get a reply for hours. I don't know what to do or how to handle this as when I bring it up and tell him its unfair that he gets to go off and do what he wants and I'm left to handle everything alone. He says he's tired and unwell so when he comes back he either wants to sleep or go on his playstation as he needs a break. When I bring up I don't get a break ever he turns it ll around. I don't know the point of this but it's just making me feel a certain way and if I speak then he says I'm wanting an argument or he just leaves and I don't see him for sometimes days.
