Tomato Sauce=Upset Belly

Hey ladies! So my son LOVES pasta & pizza so much (gets it from me 😂) but he’s always had diarrhea after he eats tomato sauce. He never complained about a belly ache before so I wouldn’t really worry about it. But we had ordered pizza for dinner Saturday night & he ate 3 slices (he’s a big eater 😂) but complained yesterday for a few hours about a belly ache after have THE WORST blowout I’ve seen him have after having tomato sauce. Idk what to do. Would it be the tomatoes? Should I make tomato sauce homemade? Anyone else have a situation like this?

If you make homemade tomato sauce, maybe try adding butternut squash to it to make it less tomato concentrated? If diluting it doesn't make much of a difference, maybe taking a break and seeing what else he can learn to love for the time being? That's hard when it's their favorite. Poor guy!

I’m not sure if it’s the same as me but store bought tomatoes and tomato products give me an upset stomach. If I buy them locally or the biproducts locally then it doesn’t bother me at all.

After some personal experiments I’ve realized whatever commercial growers are using to preserve or force ripen tomatoes ( usually ethylene gas) is what causes my upset stomach.

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

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

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.

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…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!
