I'm with you, honestly. DH is going to do all the cooking post-baby. Maybe this is geared more towards households where wife/mama does all the cooking? We have a deal, I'm doing all the breastfeeding, he feeds me. Easy.
I never do this..but bwahahahahahahaaahhahaha
Let me know how that works out.
(ps..I have a GREAT dh)
WHATEVER. Great doesn't always equal a cook. Mine happens to cook dinner every night as it is, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do that post-baby and neither does he. We both have to step it up a little. No martyrs in my house.
DH is a great cook and does the majority of the cooking around here, but things are different post-baby. DS had horrible, horrible colic. He cried nonstop. When DH came home from work all I wanted was time to regroup. Neither of us had any desire to cook, and I was thankful for every meal our friends brought over. I wished we had taken the time to prepare freezer meals before DS was born.
I'm not saying it's not possible to cook every night - of course it is. But it may not be a high priority at times.
Who the fvck cares what other people eat, who the fvck cares if someone prepares their food before hand or if they sit on a god damn lilly pad with one tit hanging out saying " they feed therefore they must be fed"
I don't give a fvck what anyone does, as long as they are able to function healthily and happily.
Tree-stump I do have to say, if youre trying to start some thought provoking or at least interesting conversation, take your time and think about what you want to say first. Because all I see when I read your post is stupid, stupid, stupid, ignorant, stupid.
I guess only the cool kids are making freezer meals. SOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRYYYYYY!!!!!!!

I was laughing pretty hard before I read this, now I just pissed myself. Thanks a lot.
I've made a whole load of freezer meals for when Baby G arrives simply because I want to be able to spend time together as a family when DH comes home from work instead of one of us being stuck making food in the kitchen. And all the meals I've made are very, very healthy (eg. soups, healthy chili, chicken meals).
Fresh meals are all well and good, but not practical if your priority is family time.

Hahahaha. Probably. I am 2 days from my due date and no signs of labor. I'm cracky, irritated, and don't see why I get treated like a 12 year old when I say I get not wanting to deal w/ freezing a bunch of stuff. There's no need to wish insanity on me and my family b/c I "don't know what I'm getting into". WTF is right.
There's nothing stupid about OP post, though slightly antagonistic, it's a valid opinion. To each their own means EACH not just the ones who do things the way you think they should. (The royal "you" not you, poster above).
Hmm. Well I ate whatever was remotely healthy and I could get my hands on with DS1, and I nursed him. And I lost all the weight within 6 months. Oh, and I didn't exercise, not once, no time.
So you know, again, flawed logic, stupidity... etc
oh, and there were really rough days where I got by on cheez its and a peanut butter and jelly. But you know, the weight ALL came off. Wasn't an issue.
But hey, you know better than I do. After all, youve seen pregnancy on tv and stuff
I'm with you, honestly. DH is going to do all the cooking post-baby. Maybe this is geared more towards households where wife/mama does all the cooking? We have a deal, I'm doing all the breastfeeding, he feeds me. Easy.
I'm sensing a *** ton of Ramen noodles in your future. LOL
I'll be sure to come on here and tell all you authoritative bump ladies how my husband and baby and I all suffered greatly due to a lack of frozen lasagnas. Jesus.
Yeah, I'll do the same. Seriously. Lasagnas aren't exactly the best way to lose baby weight either. Just sayin'.
Lasagna made with whole grain pasta, lean turkey burger, low fat ricotta, skim mozzerella and veggies is healthy, TYVM. Especially when you're breastfeeding and losing the baby weight isn't the first thing on your mind- nourishing your child is. Just because something can be unhealthy does not mean there aren't ways to make it healthy.

Yes, Tonya_GD, you are the epitome of health. What was I thinking?
I love this board. I truly do. I forgot how nearly everyone has their heads up their arses Some people actually want to spend time with their kids after they give birth instead of cooking, or you know, have no sanity left to cook. My DH went back to work a week after I gave birth, and there was no fvcking way I was going to cook meals every day after being up all night and day with a newborn who wanted to nurse 24/7.
dude, are you really bagging on someone for how they look? Really? Are you? because I saw one picture of you and didn't comment much because well, " if you don't have anything nice to say....."

No problem.. you don't want to freeze meals? Then don't. I certainly didn't the first time around. I don't know that anyone wished anything negative on you, though. And, as much as you know your life will be different.... no. You don't. But that's okay, too. You will.
Being a douche about preparations people make for their convenience is pretty dumb. Which is why she's been called out. And you were called out because you said some douchey things, too.
So I'll cart around my cross on my back and freeze my meals this time, because I have an idea what I'm like after birth, and what a difficult newborn is like. Maybe you'll lend me your hammer?
Yes, Tonya_GD, you are the epitome of health. What was I thinking?
WTF is wrong with you?
Go back to your home on whore island. No one likes you here. I don't even belong on this board, and I'm liked more than you are.
LOL!
And tree_stump, thanks for the judgements on what I eat post-partum and whether or not it will help me to lose weight. Good luck cooking all your fresh, healthy meals while caring for a newborn on three hours of sleep.

This lasagna recipe would be exactly the type of thing my dietician would suggest for me to eat for GD. Way to, yet again, make fun of people for having a medical condition. Everyone gets to see once more what a fantastic, honorable person you are.

Yep exactly what I was going to say. If you're breastfeeding that is a great meal to eat! It will give you the energy you need and with the veggies and whole grains you'll give yourself and your baby the nutrion you'll both need!

Yeah, but you still haven't gotten the point that it really doesn't phase me, and just makes you look like a douche. So, make fun all you'd like, and get your newest AE banned. I hope you have some others on standby. What on earth would we do without your daily posts about how you hate your couch?
I spph make ahead freezer meals. I almost put my leftover homemade chicken noodle soup that I made today in the freezer, but the man said he wanted it tomorrow for lunch.
Meanwhile, I can't wait to dig into some of the stuff I have already froze. They all weren't intended to make after delivery. Hell I'm already too tired to cook every night now.

I can kind of understand in a household where the mama cooks, or both work and it could be hard. But DH always cooks anyway because I can't cook to save my life. Haha. I can bake, though!
But then... we don't have a choice. DH MUST eat 3x a day, because he's type 1. We are NEVER "too tired" to cook. It's not an option. He must eat.

I might be in the minority here, but I didn't do freezer meals with DS or this LO either. For one, I really don't like leftovers. Also, after DS was born, I looked forward to getting back into the kitchen to cook. It was almost like a release for me - it made me feel normal!

You said it. Not me this time.
I'd rather be fat than a cvnt.
Ugh. Not me.
You said you're a cvnt, not me.
I never said I wasn't. And I don't use "medical" conditions as my excuse. If you are going to use your condition as your excuse, don't post about eating rice crispie treats and cake. ESPECIALLY while you're GD.

I love how karma is going to come kick your ass now. Makes me happy.
Because if I am tired, busy, overwhelmed, and hungry I am going to be one cranky b.tch. My Dh has many talents but cooking is not one of them..so the easy solution would be to eat out. Since we're one a strict baby budget I'd rather NOT do that and have some things I can just pop in the crock-pot or oven and be done with it.

GD does not mean you cannot have any sugar or sweets at all during the remainder of your pregnancy. Hell, even being diabetic does not mean that you can't have them- just that you have to be smart about how and when you eat them. Again, what are you, a dietician that you know what a diabetic can and cannot eat?
Nope, I didn't cook for several weeks after either of my kids were born. I am blessed enough to have three or four weeks of meals provided by my moms group, a DH who workspart time for a pizza place so we can get discounts, and we've been making soups or chilis and freezing them. I have to laugh at your whole snotty post because sometimes, you really don't have time. Especially if you ahve multiple children.

Umm no I'm not a dietician. But it's pretty freaking common knowledge that lasagna is not what you're supposed to eat when you want to lose weight.
