2 year old avoiding fruits and veggies

Hey ladies !

Anyone experiencing their toddlers rejecting fruits and veggies ? My 2 year old will not eat anything healthy at all. All she’ll eat is chicken, sausage, rice, and cereal ! I’ve tried making homemade meatballs and sneak veggies in them but the moment she see a little piece of carrot she’ll stop eating it completely. I really don’t know what to do at this point and she so young to not be getting the nutrients she needs, what can I do ?

Mine hates all fruit unless it was in pouches then it was only sometimes. Then she saw me eating frozen blueberries and she loved them. Just made me take the skin of first lol. That was fun. I also make homemade popsicles. Bough the baggies and blended a watermelon and some extra fruit and then frozen them. Are great for the summer. As for veggies you can try blending them or making them tiny. Mine doesn't want to eat any chicken so I often mama bird it or hide it in her potatoes so she doesn't realize.

A mate told me I’m a bad mum for not being a SAHM

Out for dinner with girls, usually 5 of us been same way since collage, my son has just turned two and i admited I couldn’t hack being a stay at home mum, I work three days a week, have two days with my son which i love having I’m not saying I want to work more, then obv weekend but then my husband is around for help, and I simply said I don’t think I could hack 5 days at home with my son, and praises them for how that can do it, as this age is tough! And dinner table went a little silent, all other 4 girls are stay at home mums, one said “the greatest mums put their whole hart into their kids, we just trying to do our best… oh not saying your not but some struggle it’s okay” but the way she said id was defo a dig. now I married for love, some of them married for money and some half & half id say but being the only one that works and the last to have a baby I feel like bit of a outsider now, and that was just nail in coffin. Non have reached out to me since, one of the girls is my twin sister and she told me there has been a new group chat made for one the other girls 40th’s when she asked why I wasnt invited she replied “she’s prob working or tired from having her son so though just best us mummy girls” I told my sister all due respect but that’s fine with me, they are her kinda people not really mine anymore, they all set sighs to be SAHM since high school and good for them for reaching that goal, where I wanted a career. I said maybe it’s time I found my own kinda people… but that’s 15 years of friendships and weekly dinners down drain because I’m ambitious and find toddler stage harder than expected 🤣 anyone ever had to start again friends wise if there thirties?

Help relationship

My husband is what I call a “ work wife” they don’t follow eachother on social medias but he always brings her up they have bonded over fishing like aquariums etc, they talk about that at work, he told me they are trading..she is going to give him a tank that’s huge and in exchange he is going to give her this gravel or dirt that he has that he doesn’t need. I’ve never liked her bc her personality and how she is just hoe and skanky…is what I’ve heard and seen from her. They must talk alot at work, I never find anything on his phone, I don’t go through it tho. Or look. It just always has given off a weird vibe to me and idk. If I’m being dramatic or crazy. They never hangout outside of work or anything, he’s always like she did this and we talked about this today, and I hate it. And that she always says how cute our baby is and that she was going to give aquarium plants to him but never did, or she took a picture of him at work and said she was going to send it to me but never did? Like where’s the photo and why did you take it of my husband? Idk am I being insecure?

Kissing baby!

Hey guys I’m really not sure how to approach this situation or if I’m being to crazy.

My son is 6 months old and I’m still not comfortable with anyone kissing him other than me and my husband. There has been instances where my parents have accidentally kissed him on the side of his head and I’ve reminded them please don’t kiss him. And my parents don’t like it but they respect it.

Well tonight my mother in law kissed my son on the back of his head as we were saying goodbye. I couldn’t tell if it was full lips on his head or like half lip check thing on his head like a side kiss . I didn’t say anything as it’s harder for me to set boundaries with my in laws and I wasn’t 100% sure if it was a full kiss or side kiss.

I talked to my husband about it to see if maybe he can talk to her about it and just tell her it’s ok accidents happen but please don’t kiss him. My husband thinks I’m being a germ freak about it and that it’s ok since it was just the back of his head. I honestly think he doesn’t want to message her about it at all.

I just still don’t feel comfortable with people kissing him. And maybe in the future as he’s older I would be ok with a side of a head kiss but I’m also hesitant because we have family members on his and my side who get cold sores so idk if I would ever fully feel ok with anyone kissing him.

So my question is do I just text his mom myself about since it looks like my husband is hesitant about it or are head kisses ok!? I’m just a little worried if I allow head kisses now that my boundaries will continue to get pushed.
( me and his mom have a good relationship now but in the past we haven’t seen eye to eye to I do have some trauma from that and it’s really hard for me to approach a situation)

Am I overthinking?

I have friends who are also mums and we are in a little groupchat. Everyday, 2 of my friends constantly say "I'm gonna get rid of these kids" or "I'm going to throw these kids in the trash if they keep pissing me off" mind you, 2 of the kids are under 3 (one being a 4 month old) and one is autistic. These jokes really don't sit well with me especially when they say it all the time. I fully understand being exhausted and overstimulated by toddlers. Trust me, my toddler can really drive me up the wall but I can't imagine joking about wanting to get rid of him. I mentioned it to them in a nice way obviously and they got defensive saying "you're overreacting" and that I just don't get the joke.

Am I just being too sensitive? I get that these are jokes and they most likely won't do that to their children but if I heard my mum say that about me Id be heartbroken.

Are you bothered by the temperature of other people’s food?

I’ve always been a slow eater and for as long as I can remember people have incessantly commented things like ‘omg are you still eating that it must be cold by now!’ Then 5 mins later ‘that must be freezing!!!’ ‘Omg how can you eat that it must be FREEZING’, when the food is literally still warm anyways💀💀
Even from my parents ‘your food is on the table going COLDDDD’
And now as an adult, after not hearing it for ages because I’ve learned to stuff my food down me when around other people, I’m starting to hear it again! I’ll get my toddler a kids meal at soft play and naturally they’d would rather play so they’ll come back and forth for a bite occasionally and I’ll pick at some chips during the time we’re there. Now I get it from other adults every 5 minutes HOW CAN U EAT THOSE CHIPS THEY MUST BE FREEEEZING
Like they’re literally not but why do you care and what is wrong with room temperature food 🤣🤣 I couldn’t care less what temp my food is lmao why does it bother other people though??
& if it does bother you, pls comment WHY?
