Is your toddler constantly saying “I’m hungry”

Like she eats a lot! She’s not underfed.

I’m not sure if it correlates with time we’re at home for a home day (if I’m feeling under the weather). Or it’s because she knows a nanny change is due (she’s not potty trained yet as that’s my next hurdle to try again at)..but she will do anything and everything to have a nappy change lately at this age 🤦🏼‍♀️

Or the inevitable “I’m hungry” if she things her one nap or bedtime is due

Even if I haven’t mentioned a pending nappy change or it’s time to go for nap or bed even then she’ll come out with “I’m hungry”

Trust me, she is fed well! So I have no idea why she keeps saying it

Is it an age thing?

Am I being selfish?

I could really use some outside opinions because I’m feeling so torn.

My grandma’s funeral is on Friday, and it’s a 3½-hour journey each way. I have an 8-month-old baby, and my ex-partner (who I still live with) has offered to stay home and look after her.

I really wanted to go to the funeral on my own so I could just be a granddaughter for the day and grieve properly. I love my daughter more than anything, but I know I’d spend the whole day worrying about bottles, three meals, naps, packing everything, and keeping her settled after a 7 hour round trip on public transport.

My mum wants me to bring my baby (and my ex) because not much of our immediate family will be there, and she wants my Grandma to have as much family present as possible. She feels really strongly about it, and thinks I’m being lazy and selfish and now I feel incredibly guilty.

Am I being selfish for wanting to leave my baby with her dad for the day so I can say goodbye to my grandma properly? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I’m feeling so overwhelmed.

Parenting differences

My son has a receding hairline. In the two corners, it’s already kind of bald. He’s 8 by the way. His trajectory leads him to likely go bald early, due to his dad, grandpa, and so on being bald. He complained about it one day and I told him it’s ok, gave him encouragement, and showed him what to do to cover it. He has a tiny fro. Additionally, I have one small bald spot near my hairline as well. I said something along the lines of, I have a spot too and I’ve never had hair right there and how it’s perfectly ok.

For whatever reason, the conversation just came up about it, and my fiance said that I’m wrong for telling him about my spot too because I’m essentially saying, “your hair is f****d up and mine is too”. Instead, he said I should have only tried to build his confidence, which I did do, but I also did not want him to feel alone. Do you all think there was something wrong with what I did/said to my son?

I am so angry!!!!

So Mr 5 done this yesterday in a fit of rage! Its a brand new $1200 TV. So of course I sent him for a time out as I was fuming i could of smacked him (i know thst wouldn't have solved anything) and then he trashed his room ill add photos of that in the comments. Though he is becoming out of control and I cant punishment him because every time I do have either puts holes in the walls, breaks things and attacks myself or his siblings.

Why do I feel like a single mum when I’m not

Since my baby was born I’ve been pulling all the work, I don’t mind to do a bit extra but my husband works from home which means he can help more. When we met we talked about that he will be an involved father but I feel like I always do everything, every feed, every nap and every bed time my baby is nearly 9 months. Also he always moans how tired he is and yesterday I pulled a 15 hour shift looking after our daughter and he didn’t do anything I’m exhausted mentally, physically and under appreciated .

I don’t know how long I can go on.

Toddler cutlery....non plastic

Need to see what non plastic plates, bowls & cups y'all use for a 20 month old... pictures & brand names are helpful!

Feeling like a terrible mother

After my son’s swim lesson I got him Burger King. While waiting in the drive-thru he told me he spilled his yogurt. I just closed my eyes and told him to put the cap back on and wait for me to get his food. I pulled to the parking lot and opened and I scanned everything he spilled and just said to him we’re going home and I’ll clean you there and I shut the door a little hard. On our way home I started realizing how bad I reacted, and was looking at him through the rear view mirror and his sad face. I park in the house and opened his door again and told him everything was okay I was gonna clean it and gave him a kiss in his forehead. Idk why I reached like that, I wasn’t even mad at him nor the spilled yogurt because I wiped it quick. Just thinking about his sad little face makes me cry😢.
