Aupair live-in nanny
Hi, I am going to have baby n2 at the end of February. We moved to a decent home and we have a spare room.
We were thinking to get an aupair for a couple of years or more. Any experience?
If you have/had one, how did you choose and find the person?

Hi,
I was an au-pair when I came to the UK in 2014, I can share my part of the experience if you'd like.
I think if you can afford it it’s a no brainer. At least for household help.
I’d say find a company who can find one for you that is a good fit.

Using family names, dilemma!
My father passed away when I was a child. We used his name as our son’s middle name as a way for him to be connected to baby. My mum was very happy with this and so were me and my partner. I will say that my father’s name isn’t particularly a name I would’ve chosen otherwise as it’s not to our taste but won us over sentimentally.
My FIL openly asked me and my husband the other day if we will be using his name as our second son’s middle name. We had no intention of doing this and have already chosen another middle name. The middle name we have chosen is actually my husbands and FILs middle name (they have the same). We thought this was a way to connect both my husband and FIL to baby boy no2. My FIL seemed annoyed and said “is my name not good enough?”.
I have no idea how to approach this subject anymore, especially when my in laws keeps asking if I have finalised a name and seem to be off in tone when discussing a name.
For reference, my husband is their only child and thus these are their only grandchildren.
Thanks for any help with this situation! I don’t want to upset anyone but also want our decisions to be respected.

Question
So I recently became a SAHM and I'm just curious how things are divided in yalls household. I'm primary caregiver, make the food and clean the home. Husband just works and comes home. We recently had a almost 10 week old. And occasionally he will help with bath time and take her for a few mins of the day. But I physically don't get a break. Unless baby is sleeping and usually I have other things to do at that point. I deserve a break too. My husband takes mental breaks out of his work and even gets some hours completely to his self. I refuse to just accept that this is how it is.

How many times have we deep cleaned the house thinking it’s the last time?! 😩
I swear I’ve deep cleaned every room in this house like 3 times now thinking it will be the last time before baby arrives/to help induce labour and nothing! Now it’s a tip and needs doing AGAIN! 🤦🏻♀️😂

Solids
Any tips/tricks on how to get my baby to like playing/eating more textured food & solids? She’s 9 months and doesn’t seem interested in it every time I give it to her 😭

Lunch 🫘
Baked beans with toast, grated cheese with a side of grapes and blackberries 💜
Definitely a bigger portion but the boy does love beans on toast!
