What can I get at the service station for 7 month old?
Any ideas for what I can grab at services on a 5 HR road trip? It'll most likely be at midday, having breakfast before we leave. Staying at someone else's house and I don't have facilities to make something beforehand? BLW.

Fruit - maybe a banana or some berries? Although tbh for a 7 month old they’ll totally be fine with the one solids meal at breakfast anyway.
😖😖I personally can’t think of anything! Could you not take a banana and an avocado with you?
All our petrol stations have atleast a couple of baby food pouches on the shelves. Or some fruit. I wouldn't worry too much about them missing a meal at 7 months though
Most places will have a small supermarket in that will sell a cooked chicken breast. Take a plastic knife with you and get some cucumber and cherry tomatoes maybe some wholemeal pitta breads and some cream cheese. I can't imagine youd get anything suitable from a restaurant in there but a small supermarket should have stuff.
If you’re happy to use some pouches like the fruit ones they might be easier and less hassle on a 5 hour journey or some of them melty sticks.
However, baby at 7 months old doesn’t really need more than 1 meal. You could do breakfast and then tea/supper when you’re home x
Maybe see if they have any bananas and yoghurts, and they might also have pasta pots you can break up and other fruits? I’m curious to know as well so I’m gonna come back and see😫
Are you staying at a friend's house? Or is there a fridge there?
I would do banana and an avocado - can easily spoon the avocado out or give banana - that was our go to. For 7 months I wouldn't worry too much though x

Still not toilet trained
Is anyone else’s little still not toilet trained? He turned 4 at the beginning of this month and he’s just not getting it at all. He knows when he’s done a wee or poo but always tells us after not before.
We’ve tried absolutely everything, books, timers, training pants, no bottoms, rewards etc
He starts reception in just over a week and I am so stressed about it
I have 2 other children under 3 and I’m also 27 weeks pregnant with our 4th and final child and it’s just getting way too much to handle
I feel like everything else has clicked and runs smoothly like bedtime/naps/food etc he even had a completely smooth transition to no dummy’s at all and he sleeps fine all the way through at night in his own bed and everything
It’s literally just this one thing that seems to be impossible

family drama
this may come across in the wrong manner and if it does , apologies , i’m extremely frustrated and hurt , i have just found out that my sister is also pregnant (older sister) however i have not spoken to her in a couple years (on her terms , i have tried several times to contact her and have simply got no response) there was no argument to have caused the divide , she simply just cannot be bothered with me anymore , well my other older sister was very social with me in the beginning of my pregnancy and now that it’s out that my sister is also pregnant she’s not bothered with me , it’s extremely hurt me to the point where people on that side of the family who haven’t even commented on my announcement have made more of an effort with her than me , my heart is physically aching and i just needed to rant

Intimacy after kids
I know this is a common "issue" after having kids but I'm struggling and my husband has opened up to me few times about it after having our second ( almost 1.5yrs old). He says he hates having to ask and he hates my reluctance when we are intimate. We currently have sex once a week and he asks every 2-3 days. I'm a stay at home mom and I am with our 2 children 24/7. They have never been watched by another person. My 1.5yr old wakes throughout the night still and has really rough nights when he's teething. I'm touched out, exhausted, and feel like im losing myself. I love my husband to death but I have a hard time being affectionate and ive always struggled with this.
He works 5 days a week, sometimes less if the weather is bad as he does manual labor outdoors. Because he works, I have a hard time asking him for help at home. I feel really guilty. As a result, I have mental breakdowns occasionally.
I do the laundry, dishes, cleaning, and most meals.
He does dinner a couple times a week, and baths once a week to every other week.
I moved with him to his home state so I have no friends or family (besides his). I am home all week, every week as we only have 1 vehicle which he takes to work. We do grocery shopping on the weekends as a family which is the only time I get away from the house. I also have to admit that he has started back up on some old habits that turn me off, so im struggling to want to initiate because of that.
I know I need more breaks and to leave the house more but does anyone have any other advice to help improve that area of concern?

My 3 year old has just moved from nursery to starting pre school. He only did 2 days a week at nursery. Pre school is free 9-3 Monday to Friday term time. I work 3 days.
I feel guilty sending him 5 days, even though he loves it when he did settling in sessions. I would clean the house and get things done. Only 1 year until he starts school 5 days a week
