Eatting

My little girl will be 20 months in the 3rd January! And for the last 2 weeks is being really off her food.
Won’t really eat any lunch or dinner,
Will eat porridge if I push her for it! But it’s hard work.
But don’t eat any type of meal , will have snacks but refuses all meals!

Used to love fruit but now won’t even touch it !!

What am I doing wrong 😑
Or is it normal and a phase we have just got to let it pass eventually!

It’s just a phase! My little boy has just turned 19months and we’ve been having the same for thee last three weeks, it hasn’t helped that he’s been poorly too but now he’s better we’re still having trouble! I think it’s just toddlers exerting their independence and what they like and don’t like. Not that this helps lol 😂 but you’re not alone!
Just persevere and try lots of different meals, that’s what we’ve been doing! Xx

Same boat as my 20 mos toddler. He won’t eat much apart from breastfeed snack on me and take bit sizes of inconsistent food bits 😄.

Actually my 4 year old joined this past week . 😂😄

lol, if anything he’s started pushing plates away or throwing food on the floor if not interested.

You are doing everything right. It is probably a phase. Mine isn't eating much either. I have started making a grazing plate for her for during the day.

Toddlers don't have a lot of control over their life, the only thing they can really control is how much and what they eat. So that is what they do. I follow a wonderful account on Facebook, called kids eat in colour. And one thing that stuck with me is.. your job is to decide what to put on the plate and the kids job is to decide how much of it they will eat. Everything else is out of your control.

Stay strong mumma we are all in this boat together ❤️

I'm so happy I've seen this post. I've been worried about my 19 month old not eating properly over the last couple of weeks.

My LO will turn 20mo th on 4th Jan and yes he is on and off food too. He is teething and might be the reason. I observed in the past it’s just for few days and they get back to routine . Just keep offering usual meals.

3 year old saying teachers hit him at daycare

My son started daycare at 2, he is now 3 and shakes with fear and cries at daycare drop off. He doesn’t want to go and when I ask him why, he says his teacher is mean to him and that she hits him in the back. I put a lot of thought in choosing this daycare. There is one particular teacher that he always says is mean to him. However, there is another teacher that he likes, and he specifically asks for her and is ok to be with her. Could this be true that his teacher hits him? Should I bring it up to the daycare management? Have your children said something similar and it turned out to be true? My husband thinks he is saying this to get out of going to daycare. My son is very attached to me and wants to spend every second of the day with me. He won’t even let his dad do anything for him, it’s always mommy. My heart is breaking. I don’t want to strain our relationship with the daycare, but is it appropriate to bring up my concerns and tell them that my son says he is being hit at daycare? Sorry, it’s a little bit of a rant. Please respond with your thoughts on what you would do.

Advice please

I am in a longterm relationship with a drug addict, he takes K daily to help his anxiety.. apparently.. he doesn’t go over the top and get absolutely out of it, but it is a worry. He owes me £6000, he is in major debt.
We have a 2 year old together and I have been thinking of leaving for a long time, i don’t know why i can’t make the move. The house is in my name, we will not be homeless because he would leave.
I just always hope he would quit, but I just don’t see it happening.
I also worry that his dad will want to see him and be doing drugs or drinking, i know we can have someone there to watch him but i don’t trust his family to watch him as they would let him get away with it 😔
I feel so stuck.

Would you allow you child to gift their toys to their best friends?

I haven’t yet had this happen yet but our daughter is a very caring and thoughtful little human and may decide to do this eventually. And I’ve heard of this happening with other children. If your child gave away a toy and then wanted it back(after a long amount of time) how would handle it.
A) Would you get them a new one that looks the same.
B) Explain that when we give people gifts we don’t take them back because that’s rude.
C) Go to the parents and get it back.

Is it cheating?

Husband hasn't been able to have sex with me or cuddle in almost a year. No hello/goodbye kiss. Basically no contact order ig. Today I find hes been following and frequently visiting a sexual FB page and its purely sex content. There were other searches as well. Atp we are married (2 years and 4 years together) we have two kids 3 and 2. He claimed in the past he was ashamed of jerking off and would stop and blah blah.

AITAH?

My husband’s therapist told him to start doing an exercise with me and tell me one thing every day that he’s gained in the last 3 years.

His first response yesterday was our daughter his first born.

I got upset that this was his first response. His defense was that his kids come first and always. Which okay wasn’t fully expecting him to say me or anything BUT we have 2 other kids and he didn’t say the kids he named her specifically.

I get she’s his first born but he spoils her rotten she’s always getting new stuff and toys and things and the other girls really don’t granted my oldest is always getting in trouble and usually grounded and our youngest is still a baby but I can’t help but feel like she’s his favorite and shows it loudly. She’s even his screen saver just her and him.

Am I wrong to have gotten annoyed/upset? I told him I just didn’t think that was gunna be his answer.

Idk maybe I’m taking it out of proportion 🤷🏻‍♀️
