If yall still giving your kids processed food, pls seek help

I understand not everybody can afford healthy ingredients all the time, but I’m seeing so many moms on social media giving they kids artificial cereals, coffee, frozen pancakes, velveetta Mac and cheese, hot Cheetos, kraft, the list goes on. I’m sorry but are yall not capable of cooking from scratch or ?? On top of that, if you still using canola and vegetable oil in 2026 you gotta stop. Am I the only one that notices this ???

The grocery prices are insane right now everyone can’t afford what you consider healthy options. There’s plenty of healthy kids eating processed food. Mind your business lol posting incognito

My kids eat as healthy of processed foods as I can find. I try my best to give them Whole Foods but they are expensive and I would love some help! So kind of you to offer. My Venmo is Chloe-Rinell

Appreciate the advice but not all of us have money so we give our babies the best we can with what we got, maybe u got more money but not all of us do and as long as the babies are fed, happy and healthy? I don’t see the harm in it and if ur gonna post stuff like this? At least don’t post as incognito and take the heat

Think you mean ultra-processed, there’s a difference👍

Are you against formula fed too?

I think giving a blend of all the food is better to avoid picking eating too
When they are in school or outside the house they will be able to eat whatever they are provided with

Ima have to agree with u. Although I will say I’ll also not judge the parents that are trying their best and just need more support

So make everyone on here the meals from scratch and send them to us hahaha.

Girl, Boy or whatever you are, stfu please 🥴 the way you feed your family is your damn cup of coffee. You can’t judge much and still be a coward hiding behind incognito

Avatar

If you’re gonna personally fund everyone’s meals so they don’t feed their kids processed food okay be my guest say whatever you want but until then make your posts from your actual account don’t be a coward

If you feel so strongly and are judging so much I would suggest not being incognito

You are obviously suffering from ppd

Mannn what. Honestly I feed mine a blend of both but tbh are we really gonna argue with our 5 year old that loves hot cheetos or are we really gonna take more time out of our already busy day for lunch to make homemade macaroni?? Also it's wayyy too expensive for every meal to be homemade. Honestly shame on you!! how about show yourself and give helpful advice and tips instead of hiding and judging mothers!!

Are you not capable of showing your actual account ? Girl pls. Some of us work hard for our family, feed the kids, clean the house , laundry , dishes , dinner / lunch for family and still work on our physical , emotional, & mental health.
So sorry karen if we don’t meet your standards so stop being a bitch and post yourself. Go season your chicken or something instead of judging

Put the phone down, ffs. Those social media accounts manufacture outrage because it gets them clicks, views, and ad revenue. Go outside.

I agree, but you sound like such a bitch 💔

And I’m sure it’s not just a money issue, but a time one as well.

Spending time with husband after having baby

I have a 5.5 month old baby and since she was newborn she was a contact napper. At night i cosleep so when its her bedtime i go sleep too. Daytime naps are still contact naps which i choose to continue with as i feel like its the only time i get to chill, watch tv or reply to messages etc..

My husband works from home but is basically self employed which means he’s always available but also isnt at the same time if that makes sense. He helps when i ask which is such a blessing!

The thing i think we’re unintentionally struggling with is spending time together. It feels like so long since its been just us and if we continue like this our intimacy is going to disintegrate quicker than i could catch on. We often try going on walks which is always nice but i exclusively breastfeed so baby girl has to always be with us for now.

Has anyone else struggled with this and how can we make more time for each other? Happy to hear similar experiences and what worked for you!

Sahm .. the dad role .

Hi!! I’m 2 months pp. and I really would like your opinion on this situation if you have a moment.
So I have always had a job before the baby, and my bd .. not really. But 2 weeks before he was born he scored a really good job and I was able to be a sahm. Which is what I wanted , and I’m unsure if it’s still what I want or if the situation just isn’t right.
At first he was a great help in the hospital as I had an emergency c section. I was in the hospital for about a week and for most of that time I was in bed .
But after that.. I’m lucky if he will watch the baby while I shower .and I mean that seriously.
I am the only one who changes diapers, only one who bathes , feeds or watched him in general. And of course he may be tired after work but it’s like he completely avoids any responsibility. Like he will take a hour coming home and stop by his friends house otw . He will sit down stairs for hours knowing I won’t go down there bc I’m uncomfy . So I have the baby then.
We have been out maybe 2-3 times sense I had him & he refused to push the stroller c change or anything. In fact we got to the mall and said he needed to split up and I had the baby.
I feel he only wants the baby when it’s for … attention? Like to post the baby on social media or if his family is here he will take him .

I just feel like on days he doesn’t have work the next morning he should be helping , and if he is up early before work while I’m still sleeping he should get the baby instead of scrolling on reels for 3 hours .

Honestly he has really ruined my new born phase with my son. Within the first week of us being home I had to full on switch to survival mode I would call it. He would complain if dinner wasn’t done or if the room was a mess , he would complain if the diaper caddy had no diapers which really makes no sense bc he didn’t even changed the diapers . It was just everything.
I’m just wondering if there is anything I could say to get some type of help out of him.
I tried reaching out to his mother but honestly his hole family is oblivious to his behaviour.

Are you a homebody?

It’s funny cause I wfh, and spend a lot of time in my happy place. So to compensate sometimes I’ll have my husband fill me in on neighborhood gossip, blah blah. My oldest had a crush on a girl in our neighborhood a couple of years back and now my husband was noticing that that same girl has been over the boy next doors house frequently. I’m like when? I never see her over there 🥴 he’s like you never leave the house 😅 ok fair

Am I being unreasonable…?

So have told in laws multiple times that going out for dinner with a 4 month old is not ideal. We’re due to go to theirs this weekend and the plan was to go out for lunch. They’ve now changed it to a 5pm dinner.

However, the routine with our LO is get ready for bed from 6, then I spend a good 30 - 40mins feeding and put her down at 7. I’ve said this isn’t ideal for us and they told me I need to be flexible, which annoyed me. Guess I just wanted to vent. Has anyone else navigated social dinners out and bedtimes? Not much fun for me breastfeeding and eating with one hand, I do enough of that at home 😢. LO doesn’t take a bottle.

Should I respect his wishes??

I’ve been a SAHM for 4 years now and my husband does a great job providing for our family and we never need for anything. With that i still had to sacrifice some wants like shopping when I want getting my hair and nails done regularly so when I can I try to supplement for my wants and savings by selling my craft items at vendor markets and recently I’ve started donating plasma. Which has been consistent income for me. $125 twice a week. Well my husband has expressed that he doesn’t like me donating plasma. He feels like it’s not worth it to put my body through those conditions for $125. He even went out to sell one of his guns today and gave me all the money and told me “I shouldn’t have to donate plasma no more”. That was so sweet but I disagree. I planned on continuing to donate plasma to save for my kids birthdays thats coming up, a trip we have planned and our anniversary. I don’t know what to do. I finally found something that pays something consistently and my husband is against it. What should I do?
