My autistic son who is 4 years old does this... We always just tell him "thank you for sharing". My son has issues with his diet, so me and my husband never turn food down if he offers if to us so we can demonstrate eating and enjoying food x

Yup, my sons been doing this probably since he was 2. Not sure why he likes to feed us so much but it's super cute 🥰

Yes my son (who has feeding challenges) has been doing this since he was about 3. Sometimes I feel like he’s not sure it’s ok to eat, so he wants to test it out on me and other times he’s does it when he doesn’t it want the food anymore so he shares it.

My second started on occasion essentially force feeding me food 🤣 as I'd sometimes hand feed my youngest in front of her so she saw it as a act of love etc possibly remembering I would hand feed her too
And even when I say no thank you or my mouth is full she is trying to ram food in 🤣🤣🤣she doesn't do it as much now but was a really fun phase haha (she was not long 2 when it happened and is now nearly 3 and learning phonics- she is non verbal)

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?
