Yeddi, i NEED to make the dinner at 10am too (mother of ONE!!!!), to avoid the dinner time meltdowns (gimme sumping wot i love) but i am too incompetent to even manage a slow cooker meal for two. Instead, we have the "OMG what do i give her to eat"? EVERY night. I'm so pathetic, tonight she told me "i'm having fairy dinner tonight, cheese and chutney sandwiches" (her standby lunch time - something she actually will eat) - and i just gave in immed - as it meant i didn't have to cook something, she didn't end up eating - and in the high temps, high humidity, i coudln't be stuffed heating up the hot kitchen with food that would just end up in the bin anyhoo.

another thread tonight, that mirrors this one SO CLOSELY. ANother fed up mum who is tired of having to do EVERYTHING. if i had a dollar for every one of these threads, i'd be so rich! it's so common, it's not funny.

not sure if that makes you feel any better Meg, but it's true.
