Sweet potato! It’s healthier to just buy an organic sweet potato, boil it, and blend it with water. The flavor is yummy and it’s so healthy!

Avacado which she didn’t like, I give her the gerber oatmeal often with smashed up bananas, sweet potato, strawberries but I try not to give her anything sweet cuz then she won’t like the vegetables taste as much

Sweet potato was our fist too! The solid starts app gives some good options on how to prepare things. instaspam gave the idea of buying single ingredient frozen veggies then steaming those as a way to save time. What do you think about doing that?
I was told to start with three orange foods , then three greens and the introduce some fruits. After two weeks of purées move onto mashed and then finger foods or slightly more intact.
I didn’t really follow that but it sounds like a good idea. I’ve just been giving her versions of what’s on our plate. We
tried avocado, egg omelet and bone marrow.

My daughter didnt like baby food.. so yeah
So I’m not sure if it’s just a phase I’m going through or if this is actually happening so please be gentle with me!!
Don’t know if I’m out of love with my husband, falling out of love, or if it even exists in my head anymore. I know I love him but I don’t know if it’s like a best friend love or a love I have because he’s my daughter’s dad… and I’m not exactly sure how to find out.
I also think I have an ick with him, he’s constantly about sex and that’s fine! I’m a horny person but at the same time I don’t want to be asked daily if we can get down with it or if it’s a possibility for the night. I’d rather spontaneous and not trying to promise him something and not know the night outcome because of how the day is….
Any HELPFUL things you can pass along??
Don’t really want to be told to leave him because that really is easier said than done AND we have a good relationship, I just don’t know what’s going on in my head right now!
Not sure if this counts as baby daddy drama but I’m making that my place to post this so don’t get onto me about it😅

My almost 2 year old started preschool 3 weeks ago and already we have all been sick non stop. I'm extremely sick today, thankfully my husband isn't so bad and has watched the toddler most of the day. Plus every pickup he has an emotional breakdown that just breaks my heart because he misses me so much. Even when he wakes up from sleep sometimes he has a similar mealtdown. It just makes me want to quit so bad. Switch from my current job to random things like crafting and/or nanny again or freelance or anything else because as the title says uuuuuuggggghhhh
I even use to be a preschool teacher but rarely to kids completely new to preschool like this. When does it get better?

Been married for 5 years now with 4y/o son my husband have short fuse and would yell and curse at a wall if he’s working with something and it doesn’t go his way. He yells at me or things i do in the house like decorating he calls it “ this is stupid, this is dumb idea” it really hurts my feelings and I just don’t want to keep tolerating it and he apologizes and do it all over again. I don’t want to get used to it now my son is developing his temper and attitude because my son sees it all the time. With stomping of the feet, punch furniture. Idk what to do. Also first trimester i had to go through psych therapy and they almost put me on medication because my husband gives me mental breakdown.
He never compliments me, he’s always on his phone, he’s hard working and passionate about work, work in the house, take care of our son but not so great with me.
He doesn’t even compliment me, most men or women out there tell me i look so beautiful as a pregnant woman. On our anniversary i spent my time shopping and bought him shirt that matches me so we look nice on our 5th anniversary, didn’t even say anything nice to me. 37 weeks pregnant and i still try to look good for him. He doesn’t even touch me anymore. I feel so disconnected. He’s constantly on his phone and when I address this matter he gets defensive that he’s learning something to fix the house. Or he hides in the bathroom for an hour scrolling on his phone didn’t even poop.
One time i asked if he can massage my leg because 3rd trimester sucks he just told me to take tylenol. I’m so unhappy and don’t know what to do! He always criticized me

Hiya mamas!
Our neighbour’s turned 13 and I’m looking to get her a present, it’s been like 11 years since I was 13 so i have no clue what teens like nowadays😭😭 anyone got girls around the same age that can guide me towards something she’d like. I was thinking skincare or something but I’m sure her family already got her that, something adhd friendly would be nice as well which is why i was thinking them like craft kits which i enjoyed around that age but i think they’re advertised for younger kids so idk.
Thank you in advance💕

I have a one year old and my husband is a good father and supports around the house when asked but it's the mental load of remembering things and having to do food shopping and thinking what to cook and then cooking and tidying/cleaning but the house is never tidied. We have struggled a bit financially as my pay has gone down and I earn more but I'm back to work next week and hoping October will be my first full pay or majority full pay again. Anyway I just need a system of cleaning/tidying and batch cooking because I'm just often feel overwhelmed. Like I'm laying in bed now hungry as there is nothing but pasta and oats to eat. I batch cook for our son but not very good at doing it for us.
