Eating out

Does anyone find it a challenge eating out ? My little one is 15 months and we’ve always taken him out to dinner with us since he was able to sit in a high chair. Obviously now that is he is walking etc but will refuse to sit in a high chair when we are out. He just wants to run around. We don’t want to stop talking him out but we are at a loss of how can go out without him running around causing chaos in the restaurant. Should we just accept this is normal for this age range lol

My friend isn't poor but is really cheap and it's turning me off. Am i the AH?

I have a friend who i really like and we get along well. But she is really cheap and it bugs me. Her and her partner both have very good jobs. They make more money than me and my partner.

Yet, she is always looking on marketplace for free things, when there are people who are actually in need that could benefit from these free things. Shes always picking up shit she doesnt even need just because its free. She raaaaarely buys clothes, shoes and toys for her kids. She is always scouting the internet for free stuff for them. Everytime she does a photoshoot or has an event, she asks me to borrow nice clothes for her kids because she doesnt wanna spend money and they dont own nice clothes since she only gets them second hand stuff.

I understand saving money and not spending recklessly, but i find she exaggerates.

Finding interests/hobbies

Ok, I've realised I'm boring AF. I have no hobbies or interests, what are we all doing to find a spark in life? My kids are beautiful but they can't be my only passion???

Days out in London?

Planning ahead of the summer holidays what are the best days out in London? Preferably for a 6 and nearly 4 year old?

When your 3 year old has a sandwich, do you use/do they eat 2 slices of bread, or just 1 (folded over)?

This is random but my husband and I make my sons sandwiches differently and he says he doesn't need a second slice of bread and its not good for him, but he's just a kid and doesn't need to be on a diet in my opinion. But am I wrong, should we be careful? (He's not overweight)

Last nerve

I am literally on my last nerve girls!!

I do every night feed, change most nappies, put baby to sleep basically every single night, bath her, wash bottles, sterilise bottles, etc.
The odd time, yes my partner will feed her a bottle or put her to sleep (by this I mean putting her down and hoping for the best). But I do the brunt of everything.
Today my partner got up with LO at 8am (I got up with her at 3.30am) and I got up at 9am. He just made a comment to me saying “you feed her and actually have a turn.”

I am ABSOLUTELY LIVID. I am at the stage I feel like a single mother and I genuinely don’t know if I can be with this man anymore.

Yes, he works Monday-Friday but I will be going back to work in September and I don’t know how I will cope. Knowing when I come home I’ll most definitely need to tidy up, wash bottles and probably put her to bed. My work days are 14 hour shifts.

Does anyone have any advice before I lose my mind?
