Such a shitty ass week over here and for some of you even. 

Out of all... what are you able to confess to?

[zandeela]

Found out this week that I totally missed an entire week of sick leave from a staff member in December. How I over looked an entire week I don't know. It has been corrected and I do have systems in place to catch things like this. I do remember that day being a bat shit crazy and time sheets were due early because of the holidays. I guess it was a perfect storm and I missed one. The higher ups are not happy with me. OMG I messed up once in 20 years, I am so very sorry!! Now I m worried what they will do to me.

And I peed in the shower this morning, there was a scorpion on the toilet seat. I brushed him in and flushed him, but was to scared to sit on it. kept thinking his brothers could be on the toilet somewhere

I need the wine tonight!

LO was screaming his head of on the way home from daycare Wednesday so I kept handing him chunks of chocolate pop tart to keep him quiet. Also, I'm a 36 year old who still sometimes buys herself pop tarts.

I peed in the shower today too. LOL

I've been a bitch to hubs this week but I still wanted sex last night. So I pretended I wasn't angry for the whole 10 minutes it took.

This is now the stomach bug went:
Ethan Sunday/Monday
James weds/third
MH and I - Thursday.

We went to mil's on Tuesday and I want to get the fuck out of here before she gets it. Plane crash and road work be damned. I'm leaving today even if we aren't home till tomorrow morning. I'll prop DH in the front seat and bite a fucking hole in my lip if I have to....

I would burned the bathroom down so your response was much more logical

I agree with this ^^ My aunt and uncle are residents in SC. "Uncle Don was bit by a scorpion last night..." HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?? "Was between the sheets." UHAUL MY ASS BACK UP NORTH.

I haven't introduced utensils to E and don't plan to until she is 15 months.

[ntdane]

Yeah, I'm not ready for utensils yet and mine turn 15 months next week. I should probably get on that.

My fffc: I feed my kids way too many pouches of fruits/veggies. I need to spend more time buying/making things they can eat, but....time and energy are hard to come by these days. At least they're getting fruits and veggies in some form, right?

We never planned on it. They just started to demand the utensil and attempted using them :/

J mostly just likes carrying a spoon around and banging on things with it. Way more fun than using it to eat with.

My LO will only eat veggies in pouch form and I don't care. I buy organic pouches and she loves them.

I've thought about it but that's as far as I got. I'm actually nervous about it. Occasionally if we put food on a spoon and hand it to her she will put it in her mouth and hand it back. I have no clue how to introduce it though or teach her how.

[g33kyg1rly]

LO wants to feed herself with the preloaded spoon now (I give her the spoon, she'll put it in her mouth, and hand it back), but if I just give her a bowl and a spoon she still doesn't get it. She'll try to pick up food with the spoon a few times, then give up and dig in with her hands We tried forks briefly and same deal so far. Really, we are only using spoons for super messy stuff (yogurt, oatmeal, etc.) and the rest we just let her use her hands.

[northernlghts]

We still use pouches here too. I feel her as many veggies as I can in finger form but sometimes a pouch is just easier for certain ones, especially out of season stuff.

[Deleted]

Honestly, that article didn't convince me that people shouldn't use pouches. I haven't tried them only because I am usually at my house during meal times. If I was always on the to with E I would use them without thinking twice about it.

[younglove316]

I would probably use the pouches more if I could just hand her one and she could do it herself. She just chews or sucks on the little plastic thing so I still have to help feed her.

[bsouls]

@babylentilbean I wouldn't be concerned with occasionally use or on the go use of pouches with my baby. The article I posted seemed like it was addressing pouches being used at home in a highchair instead of allowing kids to touch and smell food, since it's neater.

I tried using a pouch that was given with a kid's meal yesterday. T mostly just kept spitting the applesauce out and didn't figure out how to use it.

[northernlghts]

At this point, I like to use pouches when I don't think she's had enough to eat from what I have offered/she doesn't like what I have offered her. Tonight I offered her pulled pork which she normally likes, some peas & green beans and black beans. She just played with the green beans and spit them out & ate very little of the pulled pork. She's also very anti pasta for some reason right now so the mac & cheese she wouldn't even touch.

So I gave her a pouch, which she ate all of. I generally offer her half first and if she cries like she's still hungry, I'll give her the rest. She's very good at telling me when she's full so I use that as a guide. It's not a mess thing for me as much as I want to make sure she's eating enough and feels full.

 In my opinion that article is dumb.  We are at home for meals and I still let LO have pouches.  She eats 1 or 2 a day.  Sometimes she will have a pouch as a snack or it will supplement a meal.  For example, today's lunch was avocado on toast and a pouch.  She still gets to touch/play with/explore a lot of food.
