Heyy I have a 3 year old little girl and I am really really struggling to get her to eat all 3 meals of the day š© Iām looking for ways to make meals āfunā or anything that other parents have found helpful
Iām finding that sheās telling me she doesnāt like any of her food (she used to be a big eater!) and wonāt have more than a few mouthfuls before a tantrum. After refusing her meals, she tells me sheās hungry but she still wont touch the plates. Sheās becoming underweight so I just want to see if thereās anything I can do before speaking to a GP as I donāt think itās down to fussiness,

Put the same food in a different bowl when she says she is hungry. I do this and am like ok this is your snack. I also offer whatever they didnāt eat for dinner again before bed in a different āenvironmentā. So at a different table or while we read a book or in a different room.

Iām not sure what youāve tried but I think sometimes giving them āoptionsā can help. Like dividing some things into different bowls (different colours and options)and then letting her choose when she says sheās hungry
My 17m old son has favoured his dad for at least 6 months and has not gone through a stage where he favours me, itās to the point where he will choose his dad over me every single time for everything, when heās ill wants his dad, just in general for everything, itās starting to actually make me feel shit because Iām like naturally donāt babies favour their mum mostly? We are very 50/50 parents, Iām at work mon to fri and so is dad so isnāt like he sees one of us more than the other. Has anyone been through this? I know it can be normal but for this long? Itās starting to genuinely make me feel shit.

My daughter has a lil bestie at nursery.
She is always talking about him. They run up to each other and hug etc. It's honestly the sweetest thing.
I've only ever seen his parents like once. But I'm thinking next time I see them should I just be a lil begfriend and try to start a convo with them.
Like hey our kids are friends should we be friends šš
𤣠Lord help me, I am rusty.
No but seriously.... What do you do?
Do you make friends with your toddlers friend parents or just leave it alone.
We don't have friends in this area. So it would be nice if some weekends she can just go to the park and play with him.

We came home from picking him up from work and Iāve been having this pain in my stomach. I told him Iām in pain I need to lay down. I had planned on making dinner when I felt better but the pain didnāt go away. Itās 9pm, and the kids havenāt eaten. I fell asleep and was expecting him to figure out what we were gonna eat. While I was asleep, the kids completely trashed the place while he was playing the game. Then he comes in the room saying āwhat are we gonna eat, if you knew you wasnāt cooking you shouldāve said that when we got home.ā On top of this, he came in the room, saw how there was trash (we have a 1 year old) on the floor, and started kicking the trash to my side of the room saying āthis is disgusting. Iām not cleaning this up why is it all on my side.ā I had to get up, make our 5 year old a quick chicken quesadilla and some sweet potato fries. He just sat there. Then after I made her food I went back to lay down and he came and tried to physically get me out of the bed saying āyou need to shower and youāre in my spot get up and go shower.ā Forces me out the bed and says heāll order something. I told him our daughter needs to get in her bedtime clothes and he needs to do night time duties with her. He didnt say or do anything. So he left it alone and after I finally got her in the bed he sat next to me and said āI donāt like eating late Iām not ordering nothing. Iām getting in the shower.ā So now I have to cook for myself or just not eat. Like I donāt understand why he has to be so harsh and manipulative. Am I tripping ?

I work from home. My manager has just randomly said he needs to speak with me about work.
Only problem is I have already picked my kid up from nursery and she is currently with me. Partner is out.
Basically I cannot have a meeting right now,
I read his message and have just ignored it. Which he knows.
I need to follow up. What should I say!?!?!

I never see posts about admiring our husband instead all i see is useless , selfish, toxic relationships. Anyways itās 3:21am and I couldnāt sleep bc our baby kept waking up needing her paci and my husband took our baby girl to go sleep in the guest room together so i can get some sleep. he also wakes up every morning and makes me 3 bottles to see me up already ahead on the morning. my hubby runs my feet every night before bed, ive never had to wash dishes or laundry bc he knows i hate those specific chores and i handle everything else. husband never learned how to cook but he started taking classes early into our relationship, he has always bin kind, consistent , and considerate and have NEVER changed we have bin together for 6 years total & married 3 years. we are not rich by any mean lol at allllll but he always makes sure we have what we need and I am blessed enough to be able to swipe his card whenever i like and it never declines. Iāve gained a lot of weight with my two pregnancies. We have two children under two and he has bin so patient and encouraging about me getting back into shape every time I criticize myself he shuts it down and just overall speaks life into me. I just wanted to rant about how grateful I am for my man and all he does and if you got a good man at home they deserve the same recognition as us mothers get all the time
