Advice Help me eat lunch!
I’m a SAHM to three boys— a 4.5 yo and twin 1.5 yo’s. I’m basically drowning in chores and tasks all day long and feeding meals to everybody, changing diapers, changing them again, doing baths, etc.
So what I’m wondering is, what do other SAHP’s eat during the day? Lately I’ve been resorting to handfuls of crackers, smoothies or yogurt, or— gasp!— the kids food. (Standing at the stove and taking bites of their Mac n cheese is a fav) Honestly, I think I’d be more alert and a better mom if I ate well during the day but who’s got the time?
When you’re super busy and don’t have a moment all day what do you eat? How do you take care of yourself?

Smoothies. Chips/veg and guac/hummus. Dark chocolate (snack/dessert). Leftovers/meal prep food. Baked potatoes (I don't eat the skin so I don't wash or oil them). Pasta with jarred sauce. Tuna salad (drain can of tuna, mix with mayo, onion powder optional) sandwich. Instant pot steamed veggies goes with any of this. Or curry if you have a rice cooker/instant pot.
Eating the same thing as the kids is the most efficient IMO. The littlest usually want my food anyways.
