Pack lunches

What do your portion sizes look like ?

My daughter refuses to eat any type of bread so I find it really hard to make her pack lunches 🙃

She’s been having hot dinners in a thermos ie shepherds pie, spaghetti bolognaise etc side of veg and fruit and a yoghurt but now she’s refusing to eat hot food 🙃

with my girl she will not even look at bread at home but if i squash the bread and cut the crusts off she eats in nursery
i throw a few sweet treats in and some crisps she eats better when she’s around other children as she’s sees them doing it too x unsure if it would help but worth a try xx

thank you for the idea it’s something I’ve tried she won’t even eat pizza flat breads 🙃 she’s not bothered about sweet treats either went to a bonfire and she was grabbing salad off people’s plates 😂 xx

I do cold pasta/cold noodles a lot for my daughters lunch. I have one those lunchboxes for her with compartments and I do one compartment carb e.g. pasta or noodles usually, one compartment protein so cold cooked chicken or ham, one compartment berries e.g blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, one for cucumber or veg such as carrots or sweetcorn and the other has diary/calcium e.g. yoghurt or cheese and then I also pack an apple, orange, banana and some crisps in her bag (not in the compartment lunch box). Sounds like a lot but the compartments are small so it’s not as much as it sounds 😂

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…..

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!

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?
