Anyone else has a MIL that tends to victimize herself and is manipulating? And due to that you're noticing your partner has mommy issues. How do you handle that? 🥲

Honey in stir fry

My baby is 10 months old tomorrow and was accidentally given honey soy flavoured pieces of steak in a stir fry. I know not to give honey under 1 but didn’t realise the flavour packaging was honey soy and I feel so guilty!

Should I be worried? What should I look out for?

Is this a lot of help?

Sometimes I don’t know if I’m ungrateful and I do have a lot of help with baby or if I am mostly doing it on my own.

Just me during work week and my brother will come every other weekend to take her on a walk/play with her. My mother in law may come once every few weeks for a couple hours to watch her, or if we go round to her she’ll play with her or make us food.

My mum may watch her once every couple weeks for a few hours as well or she’ll come round to our house and help us do a tidy up or the laundry.

Need to ask explicitly for this so I try not to ask too much as feel burdensome, but still grateful they do it when they can. Otherwise just me and baby and husband

Who’s guilty?

So I was washing the dishes in my kitchen, and I have a window right in front of me. ( it’s a zebra curtain so it stays up for some light).
Anyway, as I am washing I looked out to see someone staring at me. So I started staring back, and then looked away ( as I finished washing). I then went back few mins later to wash more bowls as my kids finished eating. And looked outside and she’s passing and staring at me again! To the point she’s walking away, and turning her head back to stare and this time giving me dirts??

How to put weight on a toddler

So I have a very active 16-17 month toddler, he eats 3 meals and snacks but he has twice been technically underweight by the baby nurse, he is in 9-12 months cause they fit him and anything older is way too big, so any tips or advice would be helpful, he is very active from morning till bedtime

Would you be upset?

Typically my husband gets up and leaves for work before me and the kids are awake but I’m pretty sure he usually leaves our house around 6:30. The place he works at is about a 35 minute drive and opens at 8 but he goes in a bit early and starts at 7:30. This morning me and the kids were up at 5, he left for work at 6 so he was there and hour before his early clock in time.

Idk I just have been feeling lately like he doesn’t actually enjoy spending time with us and it’s honestly been making me sad.

University

Has anyone completed a masters whilst having a 1 year old? Or baby of similar age. Thinking of returning to uni, not sure if it’s a good idea…
