Are serving leftovers a bad thing?

I swear I’m going nuts. Due to financial reasons I live with my mother. She hates leftovers and won’t touch them but complains about food being thrown out. I don’t have an issue with leftovers and when I was living in my own with kiddo I also warmed up leftover for lunch the next day. So I only cook two meals a day. Breakfast and dinner.

I work remotely and homeschool my special needs kiddo. Occasionally I’ll make extra pancakes and freeze them for the next day. I never give food that’s been in the fridge for more than 24 hours.

Well it’s become an argument where she expects me to cook three meals a day! I’m like I don’t have time for that. She acts like I’m starving my child. Now my child is pushing back on not wanting to eat leftover either! I’ve told her if it bothers her so much she needs to make one meal a day every day.

She claps back with “I’m not your maid, or it’s not my responsibility to care for your child”

Am I crazy or is she being unreasonable?

Passive Income Ideas

Not really looking for a loan but so many of you seem to be in a similar boat I figured I’d ask here

I’m a single parent max out on the hours I can work and still be present for my child but I need 2k fast and steady extra income. Looking for ideas because my car is too old to do UBER and instacart isn’t hiring in my area. I’ve tried creating arts and crafts to sell but they end up being drain on time and financially which defeats the point.

Deep Veins

Got my first infusion and omg my arm hurts!!! So the infusion itself wasn’t bad. No premeds taken no side effects except mild head the next day but my arm.

So they told me my veins are very deep in my arm which means bruises are more likely as well as muscle aches and pains because of the angle of the needle. Sure enough … I’ve tried warm compress. OTC meds for the pain … a reddish line appeared a day after the infusion it’s under the skin and not a rash. I’m hurting and certain movements cause extreme sharp pain.

Any suggestions on recovery? I’m seriously considering the next infusion to give my arm time to heal because I don’t want both of them bruised up and debating having them do the IV in the elbow since the vein isn’t as deep…

Serial Casting Concerns

Doctor is talking about serial casting to correct my child toe walking. He suffers from hyperhidrosis and it’s so bad he’s slipped and fallen because of the sweat on his feet.

It’s two weeks with the casting and they seem unconcerned about the sweat but I’m afraid of infections “.

Anyone dealt with this on a child who’s neurodivergent?
