Weaning struggles

My baby is nearly 7 months old (in a few days) and we started weaning a week before he was 6 months old, every day, different foods, purees, finger foods everything! And he just doesn’t seem interested at all. He was showing all the signs before we started but he spits everything out and won’t even touch it. I’m at a loss for solutions. Any advice?

We’re blw and also on a learning curve with my first, but we have found when she has what we’re having she’s more interested

We try and have all meals together so she can see us eating and show her us eating if that makes sense 😅 lots of mmmm noises!

She isn’t swallowing loads yet but definitely getting better each week

Partner keeps wasting money

My partner who has admitted he has a drugs addiction keeps spending £100s each week. Hes saying its not always on drugs but he has nothing to show for it.
Im sick of it.
Its his money and i totally get that and if he was buying a pair trainers or somthing I could actually see i wouldn't be as angry!!!!
We live together and he pays the bills (some weeks like this month ive had to use all my wage on bills - i only do 1 day a week so its basically my pocket money)
Just feel he's stealing from his family..me and our baby because we should be spending it as a family or saving!

Have you ever given birth alone ONLY due to childcare?

Before any asks or judges: our son has never been with anyone but us... No nursery, no other family, no babysitter or child minder etc etc. my family also lives 4000 miles away in Canada and no they cannot fly out last minute due to many reasons as my Mum and step Dad could not afford it due to the cost of living in Canada, my Mum also works for the military so can just book off last minute, we can't afford to fly them out as it would cost $300-$4000 between return flights, paying for a coach from London to West Yorkshire (with their health they can't do a 12 hour layover to come to our local airport), hotel, ubers and food. Furthermore, I am 100% fine with it, to me it will be more magical for my husband to meet his child in the comfort and intimacy of our own home with our little family. Lastly I would rather our son be with his Dad then be separated from us both, with someone different and also going through the stress of having a new baby in the house.

ANYWAYS has anyone else been in the same situation and given birth alone whether it was a vaginal, VBAC or C-section?

When do I start searching for a school & what's the process please? (UK)

My daughter will be turning 3 in October. When should I start looking at schools & what's the process?

I find the thought of it all very overwhelming 😬 plus I don't want to come to terms yet that my baby will be going to school 🥹😭😂

30 hours funded childcare

I am planning on taking my little one to nursery when she is one and I go back go work. I am just trying to figure out finances... how much do you get roughly for the 30 hours free childcare?
