Prefers hot meals at lunch

Does your LO prefer a hot meal at lunch rather than a sandwich/normal lunch food? I’ve tried offering sandwiches, snacky bits for my 15 month old but she always refuses! She would rather eat a lasagna than a sandwich 🫠

Also, if anyone has any easy hot meal recipes they could share that’d be amazing. Something I can easily batch and freeze to make things easier. Thanks x

Since my daughter has been at nursery she's preferred hot meals at lunch, because they have hot meals for lunch 😅 we have a lot of beans/eggs on toast and home 😂 I make my own hidden veggie pasta sauce and freeze it in ice cube trays or small Tupperware, easy to add to pasta or whatever. I've also found that those cup soup things, like cheese and broccoli or something, work well with pasta in a pinch! Add some frozen mixed veg to it, get some cooked frozen chicken chunks as well as you can just defrost them for protein!

My son is the same 😹. Easiest thing close to a sandwich he devours is a cheese and pesto quesadilla. He doesn’t even like sandwiches for breakfast.

I tend to make an extra batch of whatever I make for dinner and serve that for lunch. Pop it in the microwave and one less meal to prepare!

My daughters never eaten a sandwich lol she loves rice meat and veggies or pasta. Only a very small percentage of the world eats sandwiches for lunch its definitely not abnormal x

My son hates sandwiches, but he'll eat "baby charcuterie" and fruit salad.

Check out feedingtinybellies.com for recipes and ideas. I believe there is a packed lunch section.

Sour patch kid

How are we dealing with our Sour Patch Sons? My 2 yr old knows how to push all my buttons and I am getting to my wits end. He is tall for his age so he is able to get into everything. A lot of things in our house is locked up but I feel i shouldn't have to lock every cabinet, drawer, closest. I have a 2 month old and the toddler likes to get into things while I am feeding. I almost feel like I need to lock the toddler up. Also the toddler is acting out and when he does he does something bad he then acts all cute and kind. Or he knows he does something bad and just laughs when i get upset. He also tells me he is scared when he doesn't want to do something like go to bed, to the potty, eat dinner. Any suggestions are appreciated.

PEPPA PIG WORLD

Has anyone been to Peppa Pig World / poultons park on their own with a toddler before? I want to take my 2 year old (25 months) but his Dad doesn't have any annual leave left, and it seems quite expensive to ask grandparents to come along.

Also, would you take a buggy? I fear having to chase after my toddler with a buggy in tow would be a pain, so thinking not?

Am I lazy? Am I a shitty wife?

Am I being lazy? I’m 23 weeks pregnant… cooking isn’t my favorite thing anymore I’m always just wanting to be in bed. I work from 4:30pm to 12:30am and get home after 1am. I end up going to sleep around 2-3am after showering and trying to force myself to sleep.

My husband has been complaining I rather buy food out than cook when I truly have no energy to cook. He said plenty of woman get up to make sure their husband has a meal to come home too. But I just don’t have the energy!

I used to wake up in the mornings (before this job) and make him breakfast and have lunch ready for him packed up at 5:30am for him to take to work. I stopped. Again just trying to get rest in. Idk how to find the energy or if I’m just making this up in my head. Definitely starting to make me feel like a shitty wife.

Also I did complain about dishes. Sunday night I cleaned the whole house, did All laundry folded, and cleaned the kitchen but left dishes in the sink thinking he would see how I did everything I just needed him to wash those dishes. He claimed I cooked made a mess and didn’t wash the dishes I used… you would think if I cooked he would meet me half way instead I’m being blamed.


How do yall do it?

I am REALLY struggling 😭

My 29 month old has never been very adventurous with her food and wouldn’t often try new stuff although she eats whatever at nursery. She had sickness 2-3 weeks ago and ever since, even her safe food she won’t touch. She’s asks for pizza and eats only the cheese. Her eating is really starting to upset me and stress me out. Every night I cook a meal and she cries at it and pushes it away.

I don’t know what more I can do
