Stopping weaning

I took baby to be weighed today, she’s 5 months and a week and put on weight so back to her centile. They were happy and I mentioned we had started weaning just porridge in the morning and a veg in the evening. She’s always had reflux and she was quite a bit sick with the veg. They suggested just doing the porridge each day instead as she might not be ready. I really thought she was ready. I work in childcare I know all the guidelines but I feel like I’ve failed so so much. She loved her food but I feel like I’ve failed her.

Has anyone started a business and it’s failed?

Basically that’s what’s happening to me right now. I won’t go into what the business is but it’s bleeding our family dry financially and the worst part is I don’t even need to work. Thankfully I’ve got a loving and supportive husband who has helped keep it afloat as long as possible because i love to work and it felt like a really good move financially at the time. but we got it wrong. We’ve really tried everything and thrown so much money at it, to try make it work and we can’t keep doing it. I’ve got an opportunity to get out this summer but I’m so embarrassed. I’m worried about what other people will say. I’m also worried what I’m going to do as a job. This felt so right and at my core if it wasn’t for the money, it made me so happy. I was so proud of being the owner.
It’s a real shame and I’m going to cry buckets.
My egos really not allowing me to let go and see the facts for what it is but I need to move on but I’m struggling. I keep fantasising that I’ll never have an opportunity like this ever again or we won’t dare try create another business ever again.

The only good thing about all this and I feel thankful that we will actually be better off as a family once it’s gone and I keep thinking of my little boy who deserves a mummy and daddy who aren’t stressed with money.

Can anybody relate to this story if so what happened on the other side?

Am I a bi*** to my mother in law

A little background im a ftm and I live with my man and his family ever since the baby was born there’s been things that my mother in law has been doing that irritates me or upset me we’ve talked to her so I feel like she kind of been controlling the things she does but lately she’s doing something new everytime I try to do something fun with my baby for just giggles she’ll take that moment for herself or make it her own moment example 1: I put a diaper on my babies head and brought her to my mom in law to show her the minute me and my man left the room she takes a picture and sends it to the gc as if she’s the one who did it before I could (not to much upset about that part) and she immediately takes off the diaper and starts putting headbands on her and coming to the room saying stuff like oh she looks prettier now and to make sure to bring the headbands back to her example 2: I did her hair and made a little Mohawk and went to show her again I leave come back and she twisting her hair making little devil horns and it upset me cuz I just did her her to make it all cute and she just ruins it and it’s not the first time she played in her hair after I do it and it’s makes me feel like a bi*** just getting upset at these little things I try to just let them slide and let her be a grandma but I noticed it became a pattern at the things she does and if we talk to her about it she gets petty about it and it makes me feel so mean but I can’t help but get upset I’m thinking about just not saying anything anymore cuz I feel like I’m dtm

Meals

Can people give me some easy breakfast, lunch and dinner meal ideas please. I’ve been so crap with a routine for my little boy so he only has solids like every now and then as my adhd doesn’t go well with sticking to a routine. He’s 9 months on the 16th so I need to start getting my butt in gear with it all

Letters to my child

There are some lovely journals which are for letters for daughter or son. Probably sounds like a stupid question but what kind of things would you write in the journal and how often would you go about writing in it? Would love to know anyone’s ideas as im thinking of getting one for each of my 3 children but not sure how I will find the time to keep writing in it for all 3 children.

New daughter, don’t trust your husband/boyfriend/partner to care for your daughter alone?

Husband is very lustful, every time you peek at his phone he is at someone woman’s page on any social media platform, you find open porn hub videos on his iPad, and he is extremely disrespectful to you whenever you guys argue, now that your baby girl is here all of the flaws
Are so loud and you imagine your baby girl going through the same and immediately you feel bad for choosing that man to be her father and to be watch her grow, would you trust such man around your daughter?
