Meal prep

First time mom and I've heard lots about how meal prepping freezer meals now before baby comes is a life saver for post partum but despite my best efforts, I'm having trouble finding recipes for things that will hold up in the freezer.... so far I have lasagna, chili and chicken pot pie. I'll be delivering in August so not wanting a ton of soup options because of the heat. Ideas? Please include your favorite recipes! Thanks

I made a ton of burritos frozen individually and that worked well. I filled them with con Carne but you can put other stuff in.
Just freeze them wrapped in parchment paper and then foil because of not the foil can stick.
Curry could be a good one to do too?

Pea or mushroom risotto could work well

The most embarrassing accent/language mistake you made?

While I was in Belfast I nipped into TK maxx (not somewhere I ever shop) to get an emergency rain jacket, the girl on the till asked me if I had a charging cord which I thought was really strange surely she would bring her charger to work, I said no I don’t sorry, she said oh would you like to get one then,I said no I’ve got one in the hotel room I just don’t carry it around with me,it wasn’t until she had looked at me funnily and I heard another cashier asking someone “do you have a treasure card” I realised she was talking about their membership card 🤣🤣😭😭😭

Thoughts?

My man works away from home most of the week. He went to a FIFA World Cup Game with his guy friends & I was a little hurt because I haven’t been able to do anything for myself or by myself for years since I gave birth to our child. Anywho, fast forward and he comes back really late telling me he’s exhausted, but then asks if I’m horny and I say no I’ve just been stressed all day taking care of our child who’s been throwing tantrums all day. And also, I feel like he’s probably horny because he prob saw a bunch of hot girls today at the event and I don’t feel like being used so he can get himself off of that’s why he’s horny. So I told him I’m too tired and I just want to sleep because we have plans in the morning. Since he’s come home on this particular week, he’s actually really tried to have sex with me a lot which he hasn’t been doing for years. So would you have sex with your man or would you be turned off too?

Am I being silly? (2 weeks PP)

I’m two weeks PP, my hormones are absolutely everywhere but am I being silly over this… so I was on the phone to my boyfriend before and he mentioned that his friend has booked somewhere for them to go out next week to watch England play and I didn’t say anything I just kept quite however I’m feeling it’s not very fair on me.. I’ve sacrificed so much, I’m exhausted, I haven’t had any freedom in months, and somehow he’s still able to have parts of his old life while mine has completely changed. There’s nothing wrong with him going out but all throughout my pregnancy he still enjoyed himself with his friends where I don’t know when I’ll find the time because my priorities are now her? I’m up every night doing the feeds which is my fault because I only showed him once and he never did it and I’m terrified of him getting her bottles wrong if that makes sense? like i always take over but being two weeks PP it’s now starting to get to me and i understand he’s back at work but I haven’t slept properly since when he’s been ok. He’s an amazing dad and I’m not criticising him but I want him to do more. What do I do my emotions are absolutely everywhere :(

Hey my name is Zainab and I didn't know until I was in my mid 30s and went to counseling that....TW

I grew up in domestic violence and it's impacted the way I feel about myself and how I conduct relationships with others.
