Baby dinner

so my baby is 9 months old already and it’s being really hard for me to implement dinner to him. I am so tired during that time that I don’t want to cook more. What are the best ideas for dinners ? what is the simplest and beneficial at the same time for them?

I meal prep chicken, carrot, and broccoli muffins. The recipe I use makes several weeks worth and I freeze them and then just pop them in the microwave or toaster oven when he's ready to eat them!

You can make scrambled eggs in a muffin tin with whatever meat and veggies you like to add. Just pour the eggs in the muffin tin and bake for 20min at 350°f. They are freezable too. I also love sheet pan dinners, put some chicken breast, chopped veggies and potatoes on a baking tray with whatever seasoning you like and bake

My baby girl is still taking purées. Once a week, I prep a week’s worth of a core dinner puree consisting of chicken, rice, lentils, some veggies, oil, and some light seasoning like turmeric and salt. That’s her dinner. For a breakfast/brunch, I give her Gerber rice cereal prepped with formula/breast milk.

I work 5 days a week so I know that it can be so tiring. But meal prepping for baby does help!

What are you eating for dinner? You can just serve that, but maybe adapted.

Am I over reacting?!

I’ve been back to work, and DD in nursery for 3 weeks. She does 2 days. My husband drops her off and my mam usually collects her around 3pm.

Firstly, I have nappies and wipes in her bag so my mam has some when she picks her up. Nursery has the option to use their own nappies and wipes to which I said yes. They keep using the ones in the bag and asking us to send in more. I’ve told them twice now that they should be using nursery ones.

Today, when my mam collected her, she said her face was covered in snot and my mam had to ask for the wipes (which had been taken out of her bag) so she could wipe her face. When I’ve picked her up from my mams, she’s got a dummy which isn’t hers and her dirty clothes aren’t in her bag. Her dummy clip is always missing too.

Am I over reacting to call them tomorrow and tell them again to stop using the nappies/wipes in her bag and that she’s often not coming home with everything she should be.

I just don’t want to be THAT parent 🤦🏻‍♀️

Is it just us?! Is it just me !?!

My partner is great in many ways but one thing that causes issues with us is the spend on the children. He says they don't need things and because he doesn't think they need them I foot the bill. This is the same for clothes , shoes, birthdays etc. He is naturally more frugal than me and in some ways I get it.

But I'm just annoyed that it's either the kids go without or I pay for it. They are by no means spoilt. We have had very different upbringings.

Does anyone else have a similar issue. Not sure how to navigate it, we need to as it's a recurring argument.

Am I wrong for this?

My husband and I gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time since having daughter. I was pregnant so I feel like the weight I gained is different but anyways I’ve been really trying to watch what I eat and push myself to get up and move as much as possible. My daughter is very energetic so I’m pretty much chasing after her all day, I go on walks sometimes twice a day to the park and around the block before i put her to bed. I also clean our apartment and I do all this with littke to no sleep. My daughter wakes up multiple times a night and I have to help go back to sleep. I’m exhausted and so sleep deprived all the time making it really hard to get up in the morning so I have him do it. I say all this because I’m trying to encourage my husband to be more active, walk with us and eat better cause I’m genuinely worried about his health and his excuse is always “I’m tired” “I got up early with her and did errands I want to rest” I tell him that I’m exhausted too but I’m pushing myself cause I’m tired of being lazy and unhealthy and he just complains how he needs rest. He also is constantly overbearing and buying unhealthy stuff no matter how much I try to get him to stop. He’s just so stubborn and I hate seeing him like this. But on the other hand maybe I am asking too much or being rude about it?? Idk.

Is it ok if I want to hang with the mom but not her kid......

From my child's preschool there was a girl we had a playdate with and I click well with her mom but our kids don't have a good time. Both playdates, her child wouldn't say hi to my daughter, then ran off, she came back then she wanted to play. Then during play while we're watching them she said my child hit her with a tree branch. My child was literally sitting down on the ground on the other side nowhere near her . At the end my daughter gave her a hug and this child stood there with her arms to her side and looking off in the distance. My child looked so hurt, I absolutely will not do that again. But I like her Mom, can I ask her for lunch or just let them go. ?

Depressed

Just found out my boyfriend won’t get out of jail for our daughter’s birth ( my first child / pregnancy ) I feel so upset and bothered about it. I’m his second baby mama and he got to experience his first child with her ( btw I don’t have any problems with her also they only co parent and don’t even talk) I just can’t help but to feel sad about the fact I’ve been doing this alone . I’m due August 13th and he’s getting out September 05 . Having to deal with not having a baby shower planned yet ( planning it now with my sisters and bestfriend ) also not having money for the phone, being unprepared with everything too as well as having to pay my obygn. It’s literally so hard. I’m so overwhelmed , I love him but I will always remember he missed out .
