Food Question

So my toddler is pretty good with her food but sometimes I will make a dinner for me and my husband that I don't think is easy for her to eat, so I'll make something different. This usually ends in a meltdown because she wants whats on my plate.

Does everyone just give their child a version of their food no matter what it is? Or do you specifically make family meals you know will be easier for your toddler ( even if it's not what the parents want lol )

Give her what we eat or sometimes other food we know she will eat or a mix. Depends what mood she’s in

I feed my girl exactly what I eat, whether it has a little spice or not cause I can always add extra cream or yogurt into it to cool it down if it's too much for her, but at this point even though we all have the same thing on our plates she will want to eat from mine so I think it's a phase 😅 xx

Only thing I do different is breakfast she loves porridge and I love weetabix 🤣 x

We always do different evening meals as she and her sister go to bed too early for us to eat at the same time as them. Plus my husband and I love spices etc which the children don’t seem to like.

Thanks guys. I think i need to try her with different meals, she is so adventurous at nursery so i'm not necessarily worried about flavours, it's more the practicality of some foods, if i feel like it will be difficult for her to eat (like spaghetti or noodles for example) I'm worried she'll lose interest. Or not eat enough, so I'll give her rice instead, which she likes, but if she sees that I have noodles, she wants that and theb stops eating her food! 🙈

Spaghetti or noodles don’t need to be difficult to eat, you can cut them up for her x

She will surprise you with what she can eat! If she doesn't eat it then you can always fill her up with something else after but it's worth a shot as it's so much easier to all eat the same thing

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…..

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
