G and I are up. I'm making pancakes and he is stacking his play doh containers. I'm not sure what we are doing today. I will probably go grocery shopping in a bit and we might head to our "farm" for the night. We will see.
We are up for the day. Been up for almost 2 hours. Made a donut run and little man loved that for breakfast. Waiting on my coffee to finish brewing as I type this!

Supposed to be my day to sleep in but I'm in a house with three toddlers and a bunch of people who don't seem to care. V woke up at 620 and MH got up with her but she has been screaming mommy since she got up. Vacuuming is happening at 730 in the morning. About to admit defeat and get up. Mh has also been in a pissy mood all weekend. I'm betting his head is really hurting (chronic headaches) but he won't admit it and tends to primarily take it out on me and then act like I'm crazy for saying he is pissy. Pretty much over it at the moment. I think I won't attempt to talk to him today and then i won't get sucked into the bad mood.
Mr jt did not get lucky, my buzz quickly turned into a sick stomach feeling so went to bed early. Feeling better this morning, H slept till 8:00 which was nice!
C was up at 5am. Chugged water then took over my bed until 7. I do not understand how a 32-inch-tall human being can take up an entire bed. The water came back up this morning (too much too fast), so no church for us today.

Donuts sound delicious...maybe when DH wakes up we will indulge... Watching the Daniel of the Tiger at the moment. It's the go to in the morning or really anytime N is cranky.

N40Mom - he is only allowed to play with the play doh on his high chair and he mostly just plays with the little tools but I only open one jar at a time. He thankfully hasn't figured out how to open them himself yet. He was getting little pieces on his fingers, shaking them off and laughing hysterically the other day which was really cute but also a bit messy.
Dinner was corn and cereal, gross! I don't know what to do, she won't eat anything we eat at dinner. Am I making it worse if I give in and give her cereal? I always end up giving it to her because I feel like its worse if she doesn't eat. I'm at a loss and feeling guilty
@adulruna and @100poppies, LT's for commiseration.
thanks so much for sharing your experience @kait20122014! Its really helpful and good advice and is making me feel like I need to suck it up and just keep trying to offer what we are having instead of giving in but god it sucks to make something and have it thrown all over the floor, lol
also I'm so sorry J is not feeling well now I hope it doesn't effect things for Tuesday
@kait20122014 --that makes sense about a second kid, too. I want this model, but my guy goes into hysterics and then won't eat. He doesn't get the logic at all. I think I'm stuck with yogurt and fruit and goldfish for a little longer. I asked my ped about it last check up and she's happy with his diet since it covers all the needs and he's growing well. So I guess we're ok.
Yes. I feel like they are a little too young to understand it at this age. I'm lucky that A isn't picky and even though I attribute part of that to not giving her the option, most of it is pure luck.
I'm pretty sure parenting is purely survival lol. Do what works for you and don't let anyone make you feel bad about it.
I guess my main worry is if I'm giving in and giving her cereal every night, its creating really bad habits and also her knowing if she doesn't eat what I feed her for dinner she will get cereal but damn it, its hard! lol pick your battles I guess. At least she is a really good water drinker, lol
jt2378 , That is the tricky part. They are totally smart enough to manipulate the situation to get what they want, but aren't quite at an age they understand that natural consequence of being hungry if they reject the meal.
Exactly. This is the truth. Damn they are little manipulators, I really didn't think I would be outsmarted this soon , lol

Nap update! We got up and went to lunch with DH and then the splash pad where some kid wasn't being watched by his parents and dumped a bucket of water on N's head! So DH or I had to be a helicopter parent, and stand next to him and even then the same punk kid hit N in the head with a toy, WTF parents! In the end, N still had fun, it's just hard with those bigger kids and the parents that don't give a shit(tell me if I'm wrong here) then we came home and had a super late nap, which he did not want to wake from, but still went down at bedtime and now I'm enjoying some wine and about to enjoy from GOT, we still haven't watched last weeks episode.
designaddiction, nope don't think you were wrong at all. I know kids can be kids but the parent needs to step it up and make sure their kid is being watched and not being a punk. Glad N still had fun though!
