Picky eaters?

My baby has been eating tremendously well since she began eating at 5-6 months. She would eat anything we feed her.
But since three days ago she has been very picky, selective.. sometimes would eat something really well, then the next day we would offer the same thing for lunch and refuse it.
It’s just super odd. I have noticed though she has become more aware in the last few days. Could this be why? Like become more selective?
Is this normal at this age?
She’s almost 14 months old.

My son is 14 months and he does the same thing. I believe it’s normal at this point? I think it will get better eventually because my son just started eating a lot whatever we give him for the past 2 days. And it’s been on repeat or maybe he really likes it! Just pick and choose on what she might like and see what happens again.

My little one does similar. It goes in waves. One week she eats everything the next week her favorite fruit is now poison and we are evil for offering lol. The next day it's her favorite thing again. We just roll with the punches and keep trying. She still hates sweet potato though that hasn't changed 😆

omg, it’s driving me crazy lol, she used to be a huge fan of meats, now she looks at me like if I’m giving her the worst thing.

Our girl gets picky right before she gets sick. It’s always a sign over here

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.

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!

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..
