Makaron trzykolorowy z łososiem, kukurydzą, groszkiem i troszkę szczypiorku. W sosie pesto z bazylii.
Swego czasu kupiłam wielki worek mrożonego łososia i jakoś musiałam go wykorzystać.
In my town there is a social supermarket initiative, I guess kind of like a food bank? You don't need referral or anything. They receive surpluses of food from supermarket, donations etc. Once a month they are near me and I always head over to check it out.
This week I got
3 pack of toilet wipes £1
4 fish £1 ( as you can see I already ate the tuna lunch thing, was delicious)
5 cans for £1 ( I also drank one already)
Washing liquid £1
2 cans of tomato and can of beans £2.
I found this video while doom scrolling, I am not able.to attach a photo to my actual post not sure why, I'll post it in the comments.
My ex husband loves to start shit for no reason even now. We have kids together so unfortunately communication is inevitable. I try to keep it to kids topics only but he loves to rile me up. Will this ever stop? We are recently divorced ( this year) so I know it's still fresh for him but do they ever get bored? I'm tired honestly.
He also loves to try to squeeze into anything I plan. We have a flexible custody agreement done between ourselves. I said I want to take them to a certain event and he asks can he come too. I said no I want to go with them. He then says its better to go as a family? Huh???? Still I said no.
I feel like he is desperate as he never really had to manage adult life alone. Sure he lived alone at university bur he lived off student finance and his scholarship etc. Then we moved in together and I basically managed everything since. Now he is a man in his 30s having to learn how to live alone and I feel like he is trying to weasel himself back into my life.
Salam aleykum all,
I pray you are all well.
I have a question for those divorced.
My in laws keep on messaging me ( relatively politely) but still asking me to constantly reconcile, make up, talk etc to my now ex husband. I don't want to. We co parent and that's about it. I am kind and respectful to his parents as I do genuinely love them and care for them. But I can no longer stand the "we must all sacrifice for our families" " Satan is ruining marriages" etc etc. I understand, divorce is heavy and it is a big deal culturally for their family ( we are not from the same culture) and for them it is a bigger deal than it is for me ( culturally)
I do not want to be rude and block them or ignore them as I keep in touch about our kids. They do not live in the same country as us.
My in laws do not have a great marriage, my mother in law is basically a servant in her home and my ex husband expected the same imo.
How would you deal with it politely?
JazakAllah
Took the photos on the bus home. First time trying that drink.
As the title suggests. Co parenting with my ex is getting on my nerves. Our kids are young, 7 and 5. He sends them messages every single day, okay no problem. The thing is he sends them to my phone cause obviously they don't have phones. Again alright. But as he sends them a message I obviously play it for them and ask if they'd like to respond. Most of the time they don't so I'd tell him as such. When he asks for video call I ask them if they'd like to and act accordingly.
He always has an issue when they do not want to. His lack of respect for people's choices when from me to our kids. He cannot accept that they might not want to video call right after we get home from school because they're just tired and unwinding. Then he pulls out " well they don't want to when they're here but I still do it" which 1 I know is not the case ( he has a history of lying about stuff like this just to upset me) and secondly I said okay don't? I don't want to force them if they don't want to video call or message me. My relationship with my children is secure I don't need a video message to know we love eachother.
He also doesn't respect their responses to hugs. He will come pick them up and say "give me a hug now I haven't seen you in so long ( it's been 2 days)" and if they don't want to he will sit, whine and complain until they give in. I spoke to him about this many times even before we seperated. He just doesn't care. He treated me the same way whether it was a hug, intimacy or even picking a movie. If he didn't get his way he'd whine so much I'd give in just to not have to hear it.
How to most successfully co parent with this kind of person?
we have 2 kids together aged 5 and 7. drop offs a bit emotional for the 5 year old but as soon as he's gone she's fine. but she is 5 so it's understandable she struggles a little with transitions. my 7 year old doesnt care. she doesn't ask about him when he's not here or anything just to paint a picture.
anyway when he brings them back he drags it out so much it actually makes me annoyed. he will say bye to 7yo she will say bye. he will then say bye to 5yo. she will give him a hug and she will cry a bit that she doesn't want him to go. which in itself isn't an issue. but he will go on the floor he will be like " I know baby I hate to leave you here I will miss you so much you are always in my heart" bla bla blah. okay he has always been dramatic like this. but then she will calm down and go do something and he will go " Bye X ill see you I will miss you come give me a hug" and he will start her up again. and every time I get her to relax and he will do the same.

went for a few items, left with more than I planned and the item I actually needed forgotten.
hello all, good morning
I have a question about child maintenance.
my ex and I have seperated a while ago, he does not pay towards the children as it is. he did give me access to one of his credit cards if I need to get anything like a food shop etc but he dangles that in front of me tbh. he will say well you can use the credit card and you choose not to. it is not that I choose not to, is that he uses the fact that I got the kids some toiletries with it as an argument.
he has a lot of debt, and I mean a lot. so I do not want to go through child maintenance as I really do not want to cause any more issues for him and I also don't want him to take it out on the kids.
he says why do I need it if I have so much money, I don't. I'm budgeting every quid I have. sure I am able to save a little bit monthly and I have my parents who are able to help me sometimes.
kids stay with him like one night every 2 weeks. he refuses to see them during the week as he works till late but be would easily be able to take them to school in the morning. he just doesn't want to wake up early and claims taking them to school is not worth it for him. he lives maybe 20 minutes away from us by car.
I am beating myself up a little about this as I really do not want to cause him problems. but I also don't want to wait 10 years till he is done paying off all that debt. I currently manage on the money I have but it is after careful planning and budgeting.
does child maintenance take into account his money in and money out when calculating? I just don't want to push him beyond his capabilities.
thank you for any advice.
my first time asking for judgement here.
had to settle for a vegan option today.
