Fussy eating?

Anyone limited to like 2/3 of the same meals for their little one a week or are they happy trying new things and have a wider pallet? Our little boy likes 3/4 meals I’d say, anything else he just picks at or refuses to eat..!? X

Mine is the same. At the moment she hardly eats anything. She’s always been picky but this weeks she’s the worse. She only eats tomato based pasta sauce. And that’s it and even that is a small bowl.

we've done 3 full weeks of beige foods so bread, toast, porridge, Weetabix, chicken nuggets anything else other than strawberry jam is ergh yucky so on a good day we'd be lucky right now to get our lb to eat a bite of what we are eating and even then it's as though I'm having to bribe him take one bite of this try it and then you can have a Pringle lol 🫣

it’s so frustrating as we want her to eat the foods we eat but she spits it out. She will usually eat breakfast like weetabix or ready brek and a bit of toast but anything else is hard. She’s losing weight as well and not sure how to resolve it. We’ve tried eating with her and sometimes she’ll put the food in her mouth but will spit it out

See our lb isn't losing weight but I agree very frustrating we are just making sure he's eating plenty throughout the day like he eats at nursery what everyone else is eating just not at home lol

My kiddo will give anything a shot. I’ve always made it a point to put something I know she’ll eat for sure in her plate along with anything else I’ve made for adult meals as well. Sometimes she’s not interested but more often then not she’ll give everything a try. Specially if she sees mum and dad eating it.
Although if I want her to try something specifically that she just won’t touch I get myself a plate and just walk past her and sit down. Give it 5 - 10 seconds and she’s eye level with the plate going “have some peeees?” Usually before I even get a bite 😂

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

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..
