How can I make veg more appealing to my 16 month old?

He’ll eat veg in food so there isn’t a huge issue but I’m not sure how I can make it more appealing?

I literally just steam it and stick in on a plate but I’m thinking can I jazz it up with seasoning, cheese etc?

I need cooking inspo 🤣 how do you do it? Just seen he’s had veg batons and tzatziki at nursery and it got me thinking

Do you love or hate ASMR?

I fucking hate ASMR videos why do all videos need to have things cracking crunching unwrapping tapping all kinds of shit. So many people seem to like it or just not care but I genuinely feel like I need to claw out of skin when I hear it. I’m usually a calm relaxed person so I don’t know why it sets me off SO easily

Another episode of - is he cheating:

General vibes over the years - seems to exit out of what he was looking at on his phone when I come in the room, has the opportunity with “work dinners” and things, found a hair tie in his car one time. I know that sounds bad, but no one who knows him would think he’s capable of it, and I’ve always chalked it up to my own anxiety and insecurities.

Yesterday I found a necklace.

Discreet box, ordered to the house, last night he unboxed it, put the nice cloth bag in his backpack, and left for work with that this morning. (Yes I know this bc I was snooping) A quick google shows it was a Very expensive necklace.

Took everything I had not to ask about it, but I’m waiting until this evening to see if it’s still in his backpack or not. He could be hiding it and giving it to me at some point but idk.

Thoughts?

I’m so so sad and hoping for some encouragement

Today my boyfriend ( not my baby daddy) ended our relationship just short of two years. We went so slow , he met my son 6 months into dating . I felt like I waited to really bring him in and I have tried so hard to be certain before allowing my now 3 year old get to know him. They’ve been getting to know eachother more closely for the last 8 months and it seems so good.
Today we scheduled a convo to just talk about how he’s feeling about everything. And I’ve been asking him to communicate with me about his journey through this all. He doesn’t have kids. Today he said , he just at doesn’t know what he wants but he has been selfish because he wants me and loves me and I’m the most incredible women he has ever met but he can’t see it working because he just doesn’t know if he can have my son in his life the way ultimately I would want some day.
I’ve just asked for a friendship with my son. My son has a dad . But it’s over now I guess. I feel side blinded. He never spoke of feeling like he didn’t want this. He said it wasn’t fair to me and it especially wasn’t fair to my son. I appreciate the honesty and , it’s better now than later . We don’t live together or anything.
But guys I’m heart broken and I finally let someone in and I just feel like, what’s the point of trying again? It just hurts. It hurts me and now I have to navigate his absence for my son.
I just feel like society views us in this way I hate. Like taking on a women with a child is such a burden. I don’t ask for anything beyond love us both , he is a part of me .

Does anyone feel like this? Experienced this?
I feel so rejected and just… defeated. I don’t think I want to date anymore . I know every breakup feels that way but… mabey it’s just not in the cards for me.

This is the first relationship that felt healthy, loving and truly happy and I’m so sad to lose this person that brought me so much joy and has been with me through so much as a mother .

Food refusal

My boy is nearly 9 months old. Was an amazing eater but over the last couple of weeks he is suddenly refusing food. I have tried all different variations, finger food and purees etc. Won't eat pouches. Now seems to be on a full milk diet. He is teething, looks like 4 teeth coming through. Any advice?thanks

Toddler not eating

Hey mommas, i have a almost 13 months old and he is not eating ANYTHING, he only wants to breastfeed. He used to at least eat greek yogurt in the morning, and i would add oats and chia seeds, but he is not even wanting to eat that anymore. He used to also really like fruits, like watermelon, banana, mango and kiwi… well not anymore… i dont know what to do , im getting really stressed, he barely gains any weight 🫠🫠🫠

Rant - So done with this stage

My boy used to be an easy baby, slept through, didn't really cry much. It was great. Since he's been about 9 months he's quite frankly been a nightmare. He wakes up at least 4 times a night, he screams if I'm more than a metre away from him, and it feels like no matter what I do its just screaming and whining. My house is a mess because he doesn't nap properly and after he goes to bed I'm so exhausted I just conk out. My husband thinks I'm being dramatic because he spends two hours a day with him whereas I'm with him all day every day. He's been hospitalised 4 times in 5 months for various medical issues, and I have absolutely no support from my side of the family (my husband's family are lovely). I just feel so exhausted and like I'm failing no matter what I do. I love him more than anything and I'm worried he can sense I'm frustrated and anxious and it's affecting him and our relationship. I'm already in therapy, but obviously that can't solve the practical issues I face, I guess it's just a matter of waiting it out, but it fucking sucks.
