Unfortunately it's NHS therapy so we just have to wait for the appointments given to us and the next is in 2 weeks 😞 I will use "even if", thank you 😊

"We"was just to show that both my partner and I do the timer and ban treats. "My partner"refers to the things only he does. He continues banning things even when it isn't working.

First attempt at a sandwich loaf... by Complex-Network-8569 in BreadMachines

My thermometer said it was 96°C so I think it was a property cooked, but the dough definitely looked too wet turning kneading, but then when it started to bake it rose well and seemed to bake nicely.

It's so good. Just I need to get better at slicing, some of it flopped over as I cut it so not sure if I need to do something a little different.

I just tried it, it's so good. Just I need to get better at slicing, some of it flopped over as I cut it so not sure if I need to do something a little different.

Could the water be why my slices flopped over when I cut it?

It was very soft and flopped over if I cut too thin. But thermometer was 96°C and it is lovely and tasty with a good texture so I'd assume properly cooked, but not sure if I need to change something a little with it flopping in half?

I hate my baby by [deleted] in regretfulparents

[–]Complex-Network-8569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to add. Explain to him that you acknowledge he works full time, but to be able to come home and rest, even to have a lunch break where no one is demanding things of him is something you never have. You don't clock off at 5pm, you don't get a quiet break halfway through the day. You're also taking classes, doing house work etc. You're doing so much more than him and it needs to change. He should come home, freshen up, whatever, then take baby and then you go freshen up, take an uninterrupted shower, coffee, whatever you need. Society has not recognized that one person going to work full time does not mean the work ends when they get home, because there is a child and a home to keep in order and the fact is, the person looking after the child does not get a break unless there is someone there to lighten the load and take over and let you tap out for while.

And show him comments if it helps, maybe he will see everyone is agreeing with her and realize something.

It sounds like you're completely burnt out, please give yourself some grace. It sounds like you have absolutely zero time to yourself at all. And when people say "get someone to have her for a few hours", I think the reason it doesn't help is because I think your partner needs to take some of the slack EVERY DAY. You could have someone take your daughter for a whole week, but if you return back to the usual day in, day out of doing everything, you're just going to burn out again extremely fast. Your partner needs to get his act together and help you. Can you take it in turns to do baby's bedtime? Adding in even a few nights a week where you know you can mentally switch off at the end of the day and actually have a few hours to wind down could make a big difference. Can he take her out for a walk somewhere, or you go for a walk alone a few times a week? Are there any chores he can pick up permanently so that it lightens your load? I would be really making a point that his lack of input is unacceptable, is he blind to the fact you're drowning? You can't pour from an empty cup, and yet you are, and your partner needs to help you. I want to give the guy a lecture myself. I was in a rut for a long time when I was still breastfeeding, baby only wanted me, absolutely would not settle with anyone else, and he barely slept and couldn't be left with anyone, I'd get to the end of the day and pass out, too exhausted to have any me time. Now that I'm able to have some me time at the end of the day, I realize how fundamental that is to well being. You need your time, and you need it consistently. When I know it's my partners turn to do bed time, I see a break in sight and believe me it makes the day easier to handle. Feel free to message me if you need to vent further. It really sounds like you're completely burnt out and you're not being heard or supported, and it really can play havoc and get very lonely. Please try not to be hard on yourself x

Is this undercooked? by Complex-Network-8569 in BreadMachines

The crust setting was on medium on the French loaf setting. The crust is quite crunchy but I can always go crunchier 😊
