I realised when out for a very rare child free lunch a few weeks ago that I now absolutely bolt food. I was halfway through my lunch when I realised I was frantically eating and I didn’t need to.

Anyone else got bad habits now?

Oh yes! I really have to try and stop myself from cramming in as much as I can now!!

Oh god yes.

General slovenliness and an increased appetite for wine

Oh this is me absolutely!! Partners eating hasn't been impacted by babies tho!

My bad habit is cooking proper meals for everyone else but rather than eating some myself, I'll just wait until kids are in bed and then have toast or instant noodles. I know it's bad but I can't seem to get myself to sit down and eat!

I eat their leftovers.

Would never have eaten anyone's leftovers before. Quite often I don't even make mysef a meal knowing that there will be plenty on the plate.

Oh and I don't really move anything to hoover any more 😱 I just hoover what I can see. It tends to rotate around so that everywhere will get done within the week or so 😅

Glad it isn’t just me, I half expected someone to come on to say how disgusting I was 😅
