I just need to vent

So my daughter had a week and a half off from nursery recently (the half was due to her having a temperature and not being able to go and the week was because I had time off so we could spend quality time together).

She’s been back to nursery this week, has only been in for 2 days, and she’s already coming down with something and her temperature is starting to increase 🤬

She’s 2 years old and has been at nursery for 15 months already.

She was only ill less than 2 weeks ago.

And now she’s coming down with someone else!

I thought they were supposed to get better with not getting so ill the longer they spend at nursery? But she just keeps getting ill and it’s never ending!

We’ve both taken so much time off work. I feel like I can’t look for a new job because of constantly needing to be off with her when she’s sick and my husband can’t do it due to work commitments and lack of flexibility, I just thought this was going to get easier.

Why does she have to keep f’ing catching stuff!!

And then why are people continuously taking their sick kids into nursery?? It’s 2 f’ing days for peep sake!! How is she possibly ill already?! Such an f’ing joke!!!!!

Argh!

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!

Teenagers Working

Ok, based on another post I saw and now I'm curious.
If your teenager holds a job, at what age would you feel comfortable still calling their boss to complain about a scheduling policy that you disagree with? Or any policy that you disagree with?

Monsters

My 2.5 year old has suddenly started seeing monsters, everywhere, it started in the bedroom at night, still happens with a Nightlight and she still cosleeps so dont think its an attention thing to get us to stay with her as one of us already does. Then it started happening in the bedroom during the day, then the rest of the house, now out the window of the car when driving, and yesterday when we were in asda. She doesnt seem particularly distressed but it, with the exception of once when she walking into the kitchen and kind of yelpt in suprise then came and told me there was a monster in the kitchen. Im unsure what the correct action for me to take is, i know not to invalidate what she's "seeing", do i ask about the monsters, do i tell the monsters to go away? I dont really want her reliant on "monsters spray.

Broken

My BD had told me today I’m the worst thing to happen to him and he wishes he never met me I have ruined his life.
We have 2 children under 2 and this has cut me quite deep as I feel it is a really nasty and deep thing to say.
I’m always quick to defend him and his actions as I love him and long for that fairy tale family. But this is something that can’t be forgotten.
He hates me as I pulled him up on leaving the house at 3am to go out with his friends leavening me to deal with the kids myself.
I’m not allowed a voice and every time I voice an opinion I’m in the wrong.
And I over reacting how do I handle the situation.
It’s breaking me and dragging me down and making me feel useless and like an awful partner and awful mother.

Divorcing a "good" man

We both saw this coming for a while, we just are on different pages and different priorities. We love each other and have no hard feelings and want the best for our daughter (3). There was no abuse, just lack of effort and unmet expectations that were communicated. I feel like I keep trying to villianize him and make a list in my head of what he did (or didn't do) to make it make sense on paper. I understand I'm not innocent either, I've held a lot of resentment since we had a child and felt like he didn't step up and I had to take on most of everything (as I know a lot of women feel). With all said and done, it's still hard to go through and it's so lonely. He was the reason I looked forward to the future and at one point felt like my person. I don't have much support system or family and he does. I'm mainly just venting but has anyone else gone through this? I feel like people will judge that "oh if it wasn't abusive or there was no cheating, there's no reason to not work it out". I know it's for the best to separate. I don't like the version of me that has grown and is out around him and living with him. I feel like I failed my daughter and she is going to grow up and resent me for not trying harder. It's going to be so tough for her to get used to us not living together and not seeing both her parents everyday anymore.
Thoughts, advice?

If your arrival time for your elective was 7:30am, when did you go into the theatre?

I know it's dependent on emergencies, just curious what time you were in the theatre if you were told to come in for 7:30am. Please even include delay times ❤️ also when were you told to fast from?
