Lunch ideas

Lunch ideas please. Struggle with these the most as my boy doesn’t like bread or sandwiches. He loves boiled eggs so he tends to have that with fruit etc but don’t want him getting bored of that

Quiche, eggy bakes with different stuff like ham, peppers cheese etc, crackers with a selection of ham cheese, homemade pizza bread, or try a tortilla wrap (he may or may not like them, my son doesn't really eat sandwiches but loves pizza bread and wraps!
Picky bits! Homemade cheese twists

Honestly it depends on the day, changes her preferences as quick as the weather!
We do:
- Toast with either peanut butter, eggs, beans or cheese
- Sandwiches or toasties
- Fench toast
- Pasta with beans and/or veggies
- 'Healthier' chicken nuggets or fish fingers with sweet potato and steamed veggies
- Picky bits e.g. cheese, cucumber, wrap, crackers
- Omelette
- Breakfast food e.g. Weetabix, Cheerios or Porridge with milk, yoghurt, peanut butter, honey, and fruit.
- Yoghurt, pancakes and fruit
- Homemade flapjacks or muffins

Honestly, just whatever the kid will eat, it changes every day 🥲 Most of the meal will end up on the floor or spread across the counters anyway 🤦

Kissing my baby

Am i being dramatic?

My mother is obsessed with my 11 week old boy, understandably as he is the first grandchild.
She does however get regular coldsores, so i have asked her nicely not to kiss my baby’s face or hands (as he puts them in his mouth).

She keeps ignoring me, my brother calls her out and tells her not to when i have my back turned and it drives me crazy. When i call her out, she reacts by telling me i don’t clean my hands enough when handling my baby anyway.

How do i get through to her, it’s driving me crazy that she doesn’t respect my boundaries and it ends in an explosive argument where she tells me not to bother visiting. As if I don’t want to see the rest of my family.

Am i being dramatic, is it still a risk at almost 3 months old?

Am I just being overly sensitive?

So my partner (25) and I (20) have 2 kids together. I'm a SAHM. He works really hard for our family & I really appreciate it so much.
But when he gets home he has a bath, then sits outside and smokes while playing Call of Duty until it's the kids bedtime(+/- 2hrs). I almost never spend time with him. And the weekends it's the same except some days he will be out visiting or up and down doing favors for other people.
I have asked him multiple times to go on a date or even just spend an hour together, but it never happens because he always forgets.
Then when we have gone out it's always too boring for him and we end up spending the 'date' with some of his friends, the kids or his sister like Valentines this year...
I feel really neglected and I get so angry with him, but he really shows up dispute this... am I being too dramatic?

Does any of your partner tell you to call places?

I have phone phobia(seriously) I hate when my phone rings so I always put it on silent and dnd mode. The only person I let it ring is my husband and kiddos school contacts.
Anyways, so my husband always tells me to call the place when we need to order food or get something fixed. Like I get anxiety attacks as soon as he says “can you call…” like why is he doing this?!

Yesterday we were on the phone while he was driving home and he told me to call the sushi place so he can just pick it up otw and I didn’t answer then after few mins he said did you call them already?? And I’m like in my head, I’m on the phone with you how can I call?????? And I didn’t answer him because I got annoyed and he yelled babe!!!! And I just hung up and made the order. I mean it’s my fault for ignoring him but like I got annoyed.

Today he’s at hair salon(in the plaza) and our son usually goes first then him, he texts me saying order chicken to go so he can pick it up as soon as they’re done with haircuts. I was like wtf?! The chicken place is literally next door WHY CANT YOU GO AND ORDERRRRRR ughh pissing me off. So I said I don’t want but if you want order. Then he goes no I’m good. Omfgggggg

Why do some women think being a SAHM is bad ?

Recently I lost a friend on here because she would criticize me about being a SAHM and I get it yk. I do eventually want to find work and be able to have my own money and things like that, but I am only 22 and she was 26 and already had a house and car already- felt like we were in different situations. We basically fell out because she would cross boundaries and was eventually getting more judgmental and mean about her opinion. Because at first, I didn’t mind her having her own opinion but she started getting disrespectful eventually. So please ladies tell me what you all think?

TV vs 90s/00s TV

i’m so passionate about this subject i hate that tv isn’t how it used to be and i hate the changes that are happening
I think it’s such a shame that TV then used to be real TV real props/scenes rather than animated or cgi stuff,
it used to be calm slow paced and we were offered less of it because there was no such thing as streaming services back then
and now you’ve got Netflix Disney YouTube BBC iPlayer and you get given anything you want to watch, whenever, for however long u want, i just think it’s so sad because now my children they do watch this kind of stuff that’s fast paced and bright colours and music playing in the background and loads of things going on in one scene it’s just overstimulating there are not many shows that aren’t overstimulating and it’s so hard to avoid them even so

Does anyone feel this way?

My entire life I knew I only wanted one thing and that was to be a mom. But now that I’ve been a mom for 9 months old, I’m starting to think maybe that’s not what I was made for. I feel like I’m struggling. Everyone around me seems to have it so much easier with their babies, but for me, I’ve struggled since day one. I love my baby to death and wouldn’t trade him for anything in this world, but he’s such a high maintenance baby. We’ve always had trouble with feeding, sleeping, etc. I see other moms go out with their newborn and I just wish that could’ve been me. But instead I was just worried that my baby wouldn’t eat or sleep, or would just cry the entire time and I wouldn’t know how to soothe him. Now he’s 9 months old, we’ve gotten out a little bit more but it’s still rough, and I feel like I just struggle more than I should. Like maybe I just wasn’t meant to be a mom. I feel like motherhood in these first 9 months hasn’t been enjoyable like it should have been.
