Toddler in his emptying everything phase😩

My little boy will be 2 in September and for the last few weeks he’s had a sudden impulse to empty everything containing liquid🙃 cans, bottles, cups, the cats water bowl…and it’s driving me insane! Every day multiple times a day I’m having to clean the sofa or wipe the floor, almost broke my neck in the kitchen this morning!!

My question is, when does this phase end? I’m over it😑😑😑

Weaning

My little one is just over 6 months and we have been weaning for around a week now (just singular vegetables, porridge etc.)
I have looked online and it says that she should have 1-2 tablespoons a day however, if I give her that she is screaming at the bowl and spoon. I am having to distract her with a toy to take the bowl away.
When did you start upping the amount and frequency of food ?
I don't know if she is wanting more just because it is a new thing or if I should be giving her more.
I know food is just for fun at the moment so I don't want to over/under feed her.

Will they be ok?

I have decided to leave my husband. I have two kids with him 4 and 6. My only experience of things like this is that this will be life crushing for my kids.

He wasn’t physically abusive but he is an alcoholic. He lost three jobs in the last 9 months and has been hiding his drinking during this time. We’ve been together 8 years.

I’ve been knowing this is coming for a while. During some very hard times in our life he wasn’t able to be there for us and has not been able to keep himself healthy or mentally well for our kids. Our last straw was not being able to make rent this last week.

Tell me, are my kids going to be ok? Have I just signed them up for a life of brokenness?

Do you think men are meaner/faster to react when they are tight on money?

My fiance is a very kind person but I’ve noticed he is angry alot faster since money has been VERY tight for us. Things upset him so fast that I feel like I walk on eggshells sometimes.

If i were to start BLW this late on, would i start from the 6+ food size recommendations or her actual age?
