WIBU to serve chicken kiev with garlic bread and salad?

Backstory: I've got a six month old DS who sleeps really badly, so I'm permanently shattered. I've just put him to bed, and my partner is on a call for work. We usually cook together, or he cooks while I get the baby to bed.

We were planning enchiladas for dinner, which DP usually cooks. I really can't face doing it myself, so I was going to stick chicken kievs in the oven and serve them with potato wedges and salad. But the potatoes I had in the cupboard have gone bad. So would I be unreasonable to serve the chicken kievs with garlic bread and salad instead? Or should I suck it up and go and buy more potatoes? The shop is a ten minute drive away. Bear in mind that DS is likely to wake up at least once before 9pm and then possibly even 45 minutes after that for the rest if the night.

Waitrose kievs are proper! They're like £6 quid so proper chicken. Glad you're getting support

Oh Starling so pleased to hear your update. See...you are bloody smart.... I was in such denial about my PND that I really put myself in danger. SO glad you have proper support. Thanks

Brilliant update OP! I agree - it's so hard to take that first step and admit you aren't happy. Hope things start looking much better from now on.

That is really lovely to hear, Starling. I'm glad that your DH and his family are supporting you.

Just thought I'd do a final update. We started sleep training on Tuesday and he slept through for the first time for two months. And he's done it twice since, and only woke on the one night he didn't sleep through because he rolled off his motion detector pad and set off the alarm. His naps have improved too... He's having three decent ones a day instead of five or six mini-naps, and his eating has massively improved too. I feel like a different woman.

Thanks again everyone for your support and suggestions.
