Food for 1 year old!!?!

Help I’m having trouble with what foods to give my 13 month old. He is usually such a good eater but has turned really fussy lately. I had been giving him pouches and the ready made meals for convenience but he has now been having a few bites of these and refusing them, is this just something that they go through at this age? Or is he bored of what I’m giving him. I need meal ideas which are cheap and quick to do as I have 2 under 2

i’ve been feeding my son the same things that I eat unless it’s really too heavily seasoned. If not then I separate before adding like seasoning to it. But I know some of these ready-made meals do not have any seasoning so I will try and add something to it up to them to give more flavor. But chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, fries, rice, pizza etc. if you’re concerned about him getting his vitamins, then I would suggest introducing a liquid vitamin into his morning bottle if you still give that to him.

I just feed my daughter whatever were eating. Occasionally ill give her pasta thats make with chickpeas and lentils to increase her protein intake. Personally I cant be bothered to make her special food.

I make batches of muffins and keep them in the freezer and pull one out to share...oat and date bars...leftovers from the week...I grab individual guacamole and hummus containers from Costco so its easy to take on the go.

I read a study done by the BBC about pouches and how they basically have zero nutrients in them and are sold as essentially a meal replacement but they cannot be used as one...a snack at best but thats it. Id consider looking into it if thats what youre relying on!

I realized my boy doesn’t want to eat unless I’m eating with him. Maybe that’s a factor?

Ughhh

I am so overwhelmed!! My baby isn’t sleeping and I’ve got a raging headache and all this legal stuff is making me feel irritated and I just want to cry.
I absolutely hate the idea of letting him just cry while I take 5 seconds

I really hate to come out here and tell my business about what’s going on with my life in my kids, but I had no choice

I just came back from a parent teachers conference meeting and they telling me that my second daughter, who just turned eight about a week ago that she barely know how to read and she has speech problems… I already feel like shit because it’s not that I’m doing my job. It’s because I worked a lot, and and every time, me and my first oldest daughter, trying to teach you how to read, she gets insecure and thinking that we making fun of her, but we’re not!! I felt like a shitty mother I don’t know what to do.

Nursery

What's people's thoughts on nursery? Is it better to choose somewhere closer to where you live or better to choose somewhere in the middle for different people that may be picking baby up? We've just started looking and just don't know which is better

Am I overthinking this ?

Am I wrong for feeling some kind of way from my husband wanting to put my 2 yo daughter in daycare he always brings it up. But mind you I’m a stay at home mom. And my daughter does learn now she’s not getting no 3-4hr learning session but the thing is she knows all her alphabets, she knows her numbers from 1-20, and she knows a good amount of animals, and she even knows a few sign language that she caught on from Mrs. Rachelle at 1 yo ! She’s very smart and picks up on alot of words pretty fast. But knowing my daughter she doesn’t have a long attention span so I do what I know how she’ll learn best, she learn through music, we watch videos, and I physically show her and question her. But sometimes I feel offended when he brings up she should be in daycare around other kids learning as if I’m not with her everyday .

My mil is the reason I see my husband as less of a man

LA little back story, my mil got a new bf last year and a month into dating they insisted he be called grandpa. Fast forward to a few months ago mother-in-law and her boyfriend‘s behavior has turned nasty after father-in-law has come back into the picture. After mother-in-law and her boyfriend’s behavior at family events, such as my son’s baptism, my Christmas party and my father’s Christmas party, I told my husband to tell his mom that her boyfriend is no longer to be called Grandpa. fast-forward three months and he still hasn’t told her because he doesn’t want to upset her feelings. Now her bf wants to bring his son over to my house to meet my kids or his “grandkids” and they didn’t ask my opinion. I told my husband how I feel about it and he’s not telling her no because he doesn’t want to upset her. I’m starting to see my husband as less of a man because of his mom and putter her above me.

Am I over reacting? What should I do?

Correcting eating with hands?

My 1yo eats with utensils perfectly fine, my 3yo is capable of doing it too but doesn't like to and prefers to use her hands. I don't know how to correct this at home without it sounding lowkey like nonsense. We have finger foods, other cultures eat "messy" foods with their hands, we teach to eat until your tummy feels comfortable so idk how to explain that even tho eating with her hands is the most comfortable that she isn't supposed to?? Because even as an adult I don't see a problem with it unless it'd be disrespectful to the chef/host 😅 Do I just say we need to practice at home just in case a future chef/host would be offended by it? 😭
