Nursery rant

I don’t think I am over reacting but would love to hear opinions, my little girl went nursery today and was put down for a nap just before 11, lunch is served at 11.30, the nursery workers didn’t wake her for lunch and she slept till 1.30, once she woke up she was given cereal and puffs as lunch, I queried this and said it’s not an appropriate lunch and was told they are not allowed to reheat food and there was no bread available for a sandwich or anything else for her to have, but after we collected they uploaded her tea which included bread and butter, so the staff lied about it not being available, am I the only one that thinks this is completely outrageous and if they are not able to provide a adequate meal after the child wakes up they should use their common sense and wake the child for their meal?

Could they tell you why they're not allowed to reheat food? That's the bit that doesn't make sense to me.
Is it the first time she goes to sleep at that time? They could have forgotten to plan an appropriate alternative if out of the routine. And for the sandwich, maybe they meant they had nothing to go inside the sandwich? Just trying to find an explanation, not justifying - I'd be raging if my LO had cereal for lunch with what we pay in fees!

Husband coming to baby sensory classes

My husband wants to experience things with our daughter and likes to learn how to play with her so always comes with me to our baby sensory classes. He’s always the only man and a few mums there seem out off that he attends with us. Would you be bothered if a man came to a baby class (not specified that it’s just for mums but just what’s normal)

7 year itch or marriage falling apart?

We’ve been together for going on 8 years. Married for going on 3. We have a 1 year old. We’re always fighting or snapping at each other now. He talks down to me. Makes me feel stupid or like I’m being difficult and when I call him on it I get “I’m just trying to talk to you” but if I’m even the SLIGHTEST bit of anything other than happy and obedient, suddenly I have an attitude or I’m being bitchy. He won’t help me with anything unless I freak out on him. He’s a great dad but that’s it. We used to be totally in sync with each other and we never argued or fought nearly this much. I’ve been diagnosed with PPD PPA, & PPOCD so obviously I’m different but like….. I’m trying. I’m on meds. Was doing counseling. Trying to communicate. He won’t do anything to help us adjust and I just don’t know what to do anymore. I have to spend most every evening 🍃 🔥 or we end up fighting. I can’t do this. Help…?

Would this annoy you?

On my husbands side of the family his mum has lots of close family friends (aunties) we call them aunty -insert their name-. They have all decided to call themsleves grandparents.
Grandma -insert name- ....
I dont like it. I find it too much that they've decided they get to be called grandparents. Theyre not blood related and although theyre close friends to my MIL. They are not my kids grandparents so I dont like them calling themselves that.
All my uncles and aunties are great uncle -insert name. Or I like to call them uncle -insert name- the great for fun. I wouldnt call them grandma or grandad. To me it is special to be a grand parent. You dont get to just chose that youre grandma this or grandma that. Also my step mum finds it really special to her that we gave her granma title, her kids aren't close with her so its reallt special to her that she has been given that title. So for all these people just to be deciding they get that title too kind of makes it feel less special and I also think it would make her upset to know all these people have the same title. (Like she says thank you so much for letting me be grandma to your child, its so special to me- just for her to find out my daughter has 10 granmas, kind of takes away from her being given that title if you get me)
Like its a privilege to be a grandparent, not a right, you also dont get to decide youre a grandparent when youre not.

Would you allow him around your child?

So my step son used to have really violent tenancies when he was younger. I mean like 4 years old to about 8 years old. He got excluded from his first day at school at 4 years old for throwing a chair at a teacher. Then my now Husband would get messages almost daily off his ex saying he'd been hurting his baby sister. And one time he got really angry cos his little cousin pulled his hair she was only a baby.
Anyway he was only little so I thought he'd grow out of it. And I didn't hear anything for years about anything.
Anyway recently at our wedding he was bullying his little cousin tripping her up and trying to take our wedding favours off her. She's 6 and he's now 11.
He's an odd child anyway I can't put my finger on it he just says weird things.
We have a baby. And I don't want him around our baby alone anymore.

UC and childcare help question

Hi all. I need to increase my daughters childcare hours as I am going back to work (she currently only does two mornings a week which we pay for as only my daughter’s dad is working) but since it’ll be both of us working soon does that mean we can include childcare costs in our claim and that would be taken into account our monthly uc payments (to help pay for childcare) as without help there really isn’t any point in me working as nursery fees are expensive and I’ll literally be earning just to pay and cover nursery fees.

Am I overreacting?

My fiance and I just bought an rv camper to move into. He’s lived out of state for a job for months, just purchased the trailer a couple weeks before the baby and I moved down. He’s known that the trailer needs some roof work and sealing in places as there’s leaks. It hasn’t rained since he bought it, and wasn’t expecting rain until later this week. Note: we are in WASHINGTON, it’s a miracle it hasn’t rained in 2 weeks. Okay now to the point, he’s been putting off sealing the roof for whatever reason and today he had to work. It rained today and the leak is worse than we anticipated. He told me he was going to DoorDash me supplies so I could climb onto the roof and seal it today while he’s at work. I said no. 1. I have no where safe to keep our 1 year old by himself. 2. I am not climbing onto the mossy slippery roof IN THE RAIN by myself in the middle of a forest with my baby (still don’t know where I’d put him).

Anyway am I overreacting for not doing this bc he put it off during his days off?
