Its provision dependent. My little boy goes to nursery 3 days a week, 7:30 - 5:30. I pay for “breakfast club” 7:30 - 8:30, 8:30 - 5:30 is counted as his hours term time only. In school holidays it’s classed a private so no free hours and he doesn’t technically get the 30hoirs a week because it’s shared out due to holidays being private hours. So I end up paying £90 a month just purely for his breakfast club and the consumables.

Breakfast ideas
Could anyone suggest any other breakfasts I could offer my 15 month old please? We alternate between Weetabix or toast. Sometimes if there is more time I’ll make banana pancakes. He doesn’t have many teeth so limited to things that are easily chewable but I’m not sure if there are any other suitable cereals he could try

Venting
Guys I’m so annoyed with my husband. I’ve noticed I’ve since the baby turned eight months. It seems like he’s just been less helpful. He’s been playing this game on his phone and I normally don’t care but when the baby is crying because they obviously are hungry/ want to sleep etc. and he’s just playing the game and I’m stuck in work(working from home) it’s so annoying like why do I have to do every single thing while I’m trying to work?
I’m stopping to feed the baby changed diapers while you’re on your phone gaming
I’ve talked to him about the game already saying that I think you’re kind of being distracted and you’re not you know, helping as much when it comes to the child so he stepped up and started washing bottles helping out a little more now. But he had to give me so much talk about all he just wants to relax. And this is his only time to relax and he doesn’t interrupt me when I am playing games. I haven’t played a game in months because we have this child and I’m just tired all this time I went straight from a C-section to working full-time within a week and beyond tired.
He helps out with a lot of other things, but oh my gosh I just want help while I’m working. We literally only have two more days till baby goes to school. Why? Why can’t you get off this game?

Evening alone
My other half works nights and our little one is now 6 weeks old. I am finding im so anxious when he leaves for work, and the last 2 nights I have worried the baby isnt breathing as he should. I think thianis actually in my head.
Does anyone else feel the same.
How do you deal with it?

Is this fair
My partner goes to work then will go straight out wether it's out with friends to the gym or to do what ever he wants come home mostly after bed time ,which can't be helped if he's working but on days we're he may finish at 3pm I'd love for him to just come home and help me with our 2 under 2
He will just go out and do what ever he wants , I get that he needs his free time but what about my times from the kids
I just he's begining to piss me off and out of 5 days he may come home straight after work twice but then will focus on cooking dinner he's a chef and loves cooking but when he's home he needs to take over or share the load
He's a great dad on the days he's off but we had this chat many times it's going in one ear and out the other .

How often do you send food back when dining out at a restaurant?
I went out to eat with my friends last night and I’ve got one friend that sends food back every time. I’m not exaggerating, she complains to wait staff and management every time. Sometimes we gotta talk to her in the car about ordering what she’s accustomed too and not sending things back. One of my other friends told her, you gotta stop this shit! 🤣

Potty training
How do I teach my 2 year old boy to pee outside? He’s goes on the potty at home but how do I teach him to pee outside?
