Fussy eater

Really struggling to get my little one to eat like the used to 😒 she used to eat everything! I feel like her diet at the mo is hummus, olives, bread & strawberries. Has anyone got any tips what I can do to make her less fussy? 😕

No advice but mine is the same. He will only eat carbs 🤪 it’s such a struggle isn’t it!

It's more than likely just a phase, don't make a big deal out of it, keep offer other things and eventually they will start eating some other bits! Not like it's just crisp she's eating! X

Solidarity we’re in the same boat! Living off carbs, cheese and fruit… hot meals are pretty much a no go (although he eats them at nursery sometimes!?) I’ve found plain and simple recipes like noodles with a bit of honey, peanut butter, milk and peas goes down relatively well

Same!! Used to eat EVERYTHING then literally just chips and sausage on occasions. Found myself cooking 3 different meals each night to just be refused. I didn’t make a deal and just let him do him gave him what he liked and kept offering other bits to try if he wanted. However this last week he has defo improved and has started eating more food again. So I’m hoping it has been a phase and he is slowly coming out of it.
I feel your pain but as above hopefully just a phase. Xx

Thank you girls🤞 just a phase. I kept thinking I'm sure it will pass soon but just seems to keep on going on! X

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

NHS job

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

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…..

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!
