So job offers

A recruiter has reached out for a job opportunity. But it's from an old job location. It's for Vanpool, I would basically be driving kids to and from school. Unfortunately I did work for this company before, I had almost died from it. I didn't set any boundaries about where I was willing to drive for them. They sent me far out and I was having problems of finding places to eat or even just go home for break. Now that Im pregnant, my husband has brought up some good points, that I was disappointed by them in the past but they even said that they have new routes available of where we live so I wouldn't be too far from home, so that may not even be an issue. I guess I'm hoping to get advice from other moms who chose to do school van/bus driving. I know that it'll be a big change and not just for me. I know it'll be a big change for my husband and our son. I'm just looking for some guidance. Thank you.

Nursery Days Advice

So from Sept my LB will be starting nursery - we have decided he will be going in 3 days a week and then 2 days with me WFH. I can choose the days i work from home, we were going to go with the below
MON - nursery
TUES - home
WED - home
THURS - nursery
FRI - nursery
We are now wondering if he would do better doing consecutive days at nursery ie - mon, tues, wed or wed thurs fri?
Theres also option to do mon wed fri nursery, so alternative days.
Has anyone got any advice re this and how has your little ones took to consecutive/alternate days at nursery!

Thankyou☺️

Safest first foods?

I have really bad PTSD & Anxiety surrounding BLW. My 8mo is ready but I'm not. I don't want to hold her back.
I watched her have CPR twice while she waited for open heart surgery and the trauma of her 4 month fight from birth has me in a chokehold.

I know bigger foods are safer, easily squished between fingers ect

But what about things like tuna mayo? Mashed up flakes?

Salmon? (Am I not right that fish is a possible allergy caution food?)

I know broccoli and Carrot, sweet potatoe ect but is there anything else

What is the majority census of least likely choking food?

She's managed baby melty puffs, baby wafers, baby biscotti all fine...

(I only gave her these things because they say they melt in the mouth)

> I have health visitor coming out in 2 weeks to LITERALLY hold my hand and be present while I make my 8mo her first proper BLW meal of finger foods

> I am booking a baby and child first aid course with st johns ambulance for the 9th May

Boundaries!

Girls iv set a few boundaries for when my little lad arrives and a few family members are not happy at all with them and I can’t help feel nothing but guilt. It will be my 2nd child snd iv limited visits to 30-60min and this is one that one certain member of my family isn’t happy about and wearing perfume iv asked for no strong smelling perfume when they visit my new born and the same family member just isn’t happy at all with them. Am I being unreasonable am I being silly? I feel like im not being respected.

Is it fair to wait or am i being selfish?

Maybe this is just my mom guilt popping up, but i put together a play kitchen for my 1 year old. Its designed to make real mud pies and so i was going to put it in one of our garden beds that diddnt take so he can play in the dirt hes ver interested in right now.

Heres the issue. That thing made putting IKEA furniture look like a breeze. It literally took my an entire week and many tears. I even had to go get a new kind of screwdriver, and im fantastic at putting together stuff like this. Because it took so long, its now my one break day per week. The next day i tutor and wont be home till dinner. My husband is a sahd so really he could pull the kitchen out now and introduce him to the play kitchen right now, but i feel like im being selfish for wanting to wait the 2 days till i can introduce it myself.
My son has been watching me put it together and besides "helping" me put it together when he would hold my screwdriver he doesnt know what it is.

Am i being selfish or crazy?

Weaning struggles

I know they say food before one is just for fun but my baby is over 7 months now and barely eating any food. He won’t let me spoon feed him and if he does manage to get some food in he spits it out. I know every baby is different but how much are your babies eating at each meal?
