Daughters 3 year old birthday

11 kids in her nursery class on the day of her birthday what do you put in party bags haven’t got a clue

What do I do if my kid doesnt tell me the truth about something that happened at school?

So my 7 year old was giving me a hard time this morning. She fought with me all morning with getting ready. She told me when she woke up that she didnt want to go to school. I told her that she has to. So after battling to get her ready. When I sat her down she finally told me she didnt want to go because this boy at school was kicking her at recess. Which I did find out the day before because my mother told me that her and the boy got taken to the principals office for it. She told me that he kept kicking her and she kicked him back (which shes been getting bullied at school and the teachers wont do anything. So I told her its ok to defend herself and fight back). So because of her not wanting to go to school. I told my husband to mention it to her teacher. He didnt tell her everything. So since im trying to take it easy (39 weeks preggo) I messaged the teacher explaining what my daughter told me. Well my mom picks up my kid and brings her home. Proceeds to tell me that the teacher talked to her and told her that the kids play some version of hide and seek tag and they push and kick each other to get them off of eachother. She asked my daughter if the boy was kicking her and she told her no. Her teacher thinks that my daughter is reaching for attention because of the new baby coming because we have been doing a lot of preparations for the baby. She also said that she has noticed that when it gets closer to the end of the year. Kids start to act up because they are restless. Which I get but my daughter has been getting bullied all year. Shes been pushed against the wall. Shes been punched in the stomach. Theres even this one girl that told her that if she put her jacket on that she would get beat up. Which it was snowing that day and when my mom told her to put her hat and jacket on. She said "but im gonna get beat up" hence why I told my daughter if she gets hit, kicked or anything. To fight back and not let them do that to you because everytime she goes to a teacher about it. They say mind your own business or no tattle taleing. Her teacher even told her she HAD to have a parent come to them if something happened. Now tho I dont know what to believe. It explains that when something and she tells me that the teachers dont believe her. Is because she isnt telling the whole truth. She knows I will stick up for her because I was bullied in school. I will not let her feel like no one is on her side. I told her that she needs to be honest with me or I cant stick up for her. All she does is cry and says shes sorry but any time she gets in trouble. The waterworks start. Its just frustrating that she didnt even wanna tell me. She was upset with her Nana because she said something to me. Knowing that her father overheard everything then my daughter pulled him into her room and talked to him. I dont know what was said. Ive yet to discuss it with him because hes on nightshift. I dont know what to do. I know im the more stern parent. I do lose my patience with her because she tends to not listen to me. So I do raise my voice but I tried really hard to catch myself and apologize. Then have a calm talk with her. I just dont understand why she wont be honest. Ive always been her #1 support person. Her guidance. Everything. I need to know what you guys think. What im doing wrong. What im doing right. So I can try and fix it because im about to have another kid and I dont want them to not be honest with me.

Breakfast meltdowns

My one year old is screaming at every breakfast without fail. We're not 100% sure why but we think she doesn't want to eat with a spoon. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do?
I've been leaning toward BLW because of this which I didn't really want to do but breakfast is hard to do that with porridge etc.
Are there any good recipes for BLW breakfast type foods?
And is there a way to get her to eat with a spoon? Or do I park that issue for now?
Any advice welcome. It is such a bad start to the day right now!

11month old not eating

I am so defeated 😫 my son doesn’t wanna eat at all. I’m getting so tired of trying as we end up fighting if I offer anything else apart from yoghurt. I want to reduce milk intake by the time he’s 1yo but I can’t see it happening. What am I doing wrong?

I offer food first and give milk when it’s time to nap only. But even when he’s hungry, he would only take 2 teaspoon worth of food then done. He turns away and cries if I push. I’ve tried feeding even outside of the high chair to see if that’s more effective. Even from my own plate too as a lure but it’s still hard 🥺
