Venting about all the snacks!!!

My husband goes to bed around 2, me at 12 or 1am. He gets up with our kids as early as 6am if they’re up and hungry and he’ll give them something quick like snacks, bar, pouch, pirates booty. Usually he’ll doze off on the couch or he’ll just be up for the day with them at 6! Sometimes they’ll ask for several snacks before I wake up at 7-7:30 so when I come down to make breakfast they’re full on snacks! I feel like a B*** complaining about my husband feeding the kids, at least they’re fed? But I wish he’d put the same effort I put in. I’m talking like, toast a piece of bread or a waffle. Boil water in the kettle and pour it over some oats. Heck even rinse some berries and put it on yogurt.
He says if I want to be uptight about what they eat, I should wake up early and realize he gets less sleep. I go to bed late because that’s my only me time. Our kids are in bed at 9

I've messed up- haven't accepted school place!

I've just realised I forgot to accept my child's reception school place! Has anyone experienced this before? Can't believe I forgot 😭 The school sent me and email regarding to accept or decline the offer with the name and surname and everything with the deadline and i totally forgot to answer them. It was since end of April😭 will they took his place?

SPOILER ALERT!!! If you watched Toy Story 5 did you notice the theme of the movie?

Our family watched Toy Story 5 and we noticed right away the theme was screentime. Specifically toys talking about being replaced by screens

Nursery funded hours

Right so before I email the nursery and make a tit of myself can someone help me understand the following-

Currently scheduled to go back to work for 3 days, and little boy will be in nursery for 2 days (max 16 hours)

As per the new law you get 30 funded hours during term time ONLY - our nursery agrees to spread these hours through the year making it about 22.5 hrs a week (I think)

So if my boy goes for 3 days instead as work want me to poss go back 4 days…we will use 24 hrs do you think the nursery will charge us for just 1.5 hours or will they class the 3rd day as a full day?

Has anyone else experiences this please 😭🤣
If it’s not funded then there is no point in me going up to 4 days

Is there somebody else your child seeks comfort from?

I've been questioning my ability to be a good mother lately. Mine are 2 and almost 4. I feel that I'm doing my best for my kids, I might be a bit hard on them sometimes, like I wouldn't be an advocate for "gentle parenting" but I do give them love and empathy when they're upset. I have all the patience in the world for their tantrums and my partner and others will testify to that. However, when my partner or my own mother are an option instead of me, they'll call them and run to them instead of me for comforting. They do respond differently from me to their cries, but they also are very different from each other. My mother responds by emphasizing what they're crying about and practically crying with them, which my partner is very critical of. My partner on the other hand will say nothing but just pick them up and hug them then quickly redirect them. I try that method, but they only come to me if their dad or my mother isn't there.

Does anybody else's kids do this? Can anybody advise what I might be doing wrong?? I feel like my kids don't feel like I'm safe enough for them

Nursery

Can anyone please explain how to go about nursery registration? Do I go directly to nurseries near me or go through council? TIA

Upset

So I’m making small goodie bags for fathers day. My husband been mentioning he wants to gift them a cologne, I told him it’s not necessary since I’m adding like 11 items in the bags. Well he just got home and I showed him the one I tried to make last night and he said “it’d look better if we add the cologne” I told him he’s getting annoying with that and walked away.
It upsets me because he wants to gift them something when he didn’t even get me anything for Mother’s Day. And yes I did tell him that yesterday, because I got mad and he got offended when I mentioned that.

I’m doing goodie bags because I want to do something small but special for they dads.
