My two year old son only eats toast , crisps and Weetabix. Gags at anything else and always looks petrified of food. I'm so lost, help 😭

My son is very similar. Toast, crisps, weetabix and fruit. I just keep offering different things and eventually I hope he will eat more. I’ve only just stopped BF in the day though so that didn’t help and I do think he is eating a bit more now.

My son is autistic and has had food aversions since he was 6 months old. He has a handful of ā€˜safe foods’ like apple, pears, yoghurts and crisps

If a child hits your child in the head with a basketball at school, would you expect that child's mother to reach out to you?

I feel some sort of acknowledgment or apology is needed. This kid is a huge problem. Took my daughter's glasses off her face, tried to hit her, all while in P.E. The teacher did NOT notify me as he said he didn't witness it. The main teacher told me when I picked her up from school. I've seen the mom and the bad ass little boy since and still no word.

This is a kid that throws chairs and flips the bird at his teachers and calls them bitches and to shut up. He's awful. I've witnessed it in real time. I'm not sure what his history is or what struggles he's had, but I would seriously wonder about the person he'll grow into if I were his mother

Nursery, am I doing the right thing

I’m really feeling uneasy and doubting myself. My son is due to start nursery next month and I am absolutely dreading it. He was born 2 months early and spent 5 weeks in nicu. Since then he and I have not had any time away from each other and nobody other than my husband or I have cared for him. I hate being away from him. The nursery have just contacted to arrange settling sessions and my immediate thought was I don’t want him going and that I can’t do it. I’m trying to see if I could change my job to something where I either work evenings or early mornings and only send my lo to nursery for half a day. I don’t know what to do or what is right😭 also really worried that if I do send him to nursery it will break the bond that he and I have got. Not sure if this a sign we are just not ready yet

How important do you think it is to show up for your children’s school functions? (Plays, recitals, concerts etc)

I show up to everything for my son, big or small. I’ve taken an afternoon off from work to watch his Halloween parade where they just walk around the school in their costumes. No matter how big or small. I feel like showing up matters.

My bonus girl came home today saying yesterday she had a concert in school where she played her instrument and all the parents showed up but her mom didn’t. Her mom is mainly in charge of everything education related because they live 1.5 hours away in another state. However her mom never communicates with us education related things. We have to pull teeth to get copies of report cards or to be notified of anything going on at school.

I feel bad because my son had a ceremony after school yesterday which we attended but if her mom would’ve informed her we could’ve made it to both their milestones. When I asked her how she was feeling that no one showed up, she said sad & it broke my heart.

Sale vs Sell

So my manager does reports for the store (it’s a fast fashion women’s retail store). I’m a supervisor and she stay writing emails and reports will spelling errors. It pisses me off so bad.

THIS 32 YEAR OLD WOMAN DOESN’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SALE AND SELL or THEIR, THERE, and THEY’RE. She will also email the store’s HQ monthly reports and say things like ā€œTarget points have averaged 80% for March, we received inventory from Orange County location which has been a huge help to minesā€ like GIRL. I’ve told her multiple times but she don’t listen and I feel like her incompetence hurts us as a team. Is it just the Virgo in me or am I having a valid crash out and what do I do ???

Is it weird to bring a fan to a restaurant? šŸ˜‚

I hate sitting there trying to blow my toddlers food cause it’s always piping hot and she’s not patient. I’m thinking of just bringing a little portable fan to cool her food but not sure if that would be weird or not? Haha does anyone else have this problem?? Like I get we want our food hot but not third degree burn for a child’s meal hot! Smh šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Likely a controversial questionā€¦šŸš—ā›½ļø

Are we getting our babies out the car to fill up with fuel? (Running into pay)
Personally I take my baby out but I’m intrigued to see what others do! Obviously it’s such a quick trip in.
