I had physical maternity notes (the green book) and when I was discharged from midwives they took the notes to processing as is usual procedure. I contacted them to ask to get them back as I left some documents and scans inside and I hadn't made a note of my baby's birth time.

I was told they have been moved to storage so I have to do a Freedom of Information request. Which I did.

After a lengthy wait I was given 72 hour access to scans of the notes via an online portal.

The trouble is its just one long, long pdf of my notes and its nearly impossible to find anything without going through every page as they arent book marked they way they would be in real life. Also I want my physical scans not photocopies.

Can I request my physical notes? Or is there some legal reason they can refuse and keep them in storage?

Can someone explain how the sizing of baby and child clothes work in the US? Like if it says 2T does that mean age 1-2years or 2-3years?

We live in the UK and I have always found US Sizing to be very small comparatively.

We are in the age of the tyranny of snacks. And when he demands them he means biscuits or sweet oat bars or chocolate. He doesnt want "healthy" snacks, no fruit or veg or even cheese or PB toast, no dinner or lunch. Only sweet snacks.

What do we do?!

What is your way of eating a kiwi fruit?

I always cut it in half and scoop it out with a spoon.

But recently someone I know peeled it and ate it like a really big grape.

I have never known anyone else who does it that way and he seemed genuinely shocked when I told him my strategy.
