Fussy eater

My son was always a good eater. He would eat anything and always have what we had at dinner time. He's 20 months and now all of a sudden he won't eat hardly anything!!! Breakfast and lunch are not too bad but as soon as it comes to dinner time it's a different story. Won't eat pasta, rice, egg, veggie fritters. I've looked up so many recipes but it always ends up being a waste of time!! Any different ideas out there? 🤞

He used to eat ANYTHINGGG no problem. Now he won’t even try anything new and now seems to hate all of the foods he used to love

my son has been going through this for a while now. my advice would be, to keep offering the other food every now and again, and allow him to eat whatever he’s comfortable eating. mine is 19 months and won’t touch any vegetables, only meat he will eat is sausage, he won’t eat eggs, pasta, rice, etc. it’s been a struggle but aparantly it’s a phase they eventually grow out of.

He’s at the age where they survive off air 😂. Listen, don’t drive yourself crazy. This is normal. One thing HE won’t do is starve himself. If he’s hungry he’ll eat.

Mine’s almost 18 months and won’t touch veggies anymore except mushrooms. He still loves meat and fruit but anything else, he throws off the plate😬

Partner no longer wants baby #2

Before our son was born we originally both wanted minimum 2 kids but we were hoping for 3-4. My partner found the birth traumatic to watch and also struggled a lot with the newborn/baby stage. He no longer wants to have any more children and it’s completely breaking my heart. I need another baby. We’ve spoken about it a lot and the options. He said he wasn’t COMPLETELY closed off to it so I asked him to try and work through his feelings and reconsider his decision. He eventually said he definitely doesn’t want another. I know that I will always want one and my feelings will never change. Do we have to break up or does anyone know anything else I can do to help change his mind? Has anyone else’s partner said this and then changed their mind? I don’t want to break up because I adore him and our life together and I’d hate to split up our family for “selfish” reasons and make my son miss out on having both of us together but I just don’t know what to do

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

Jealous of my husband

I’m so jealous of him and it’s making me resentful. We have a ten week old and I’m jealous that he is at work all day. I’m jealous he can leave for lunch and actually eat an uninterrupted lunch. Take a phone call uninterrupted. Chat with a friend he runs in to uninterrupted. Even go to the bathroom when he wants uninterrupted. He comes home from work when he wants. He’s not on a set schedule. Some days are late some are early. It depends on when he’s done. I’m jealous he can come home at 10pm and shower, eat and go right to bed uninterrupted because I already have the baby asleep. He doesn’t have to worry about anything house wise or baby wise because I’ve done it all. Meanwhile I’m covered in puke and crap and smell like rotten milk. When he is home he is VERY active and helpful. So it’s not that. I’m just jealous his world hasn’t changed and mine has I guess. This isn’t something he’s doing wrong so I’m not sure how to get past this. I wish I could keep him home all day because that’s how helpful he is, but I understand he obv needs to work.

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments
