I am mum to dd (3 1/2) and DS(1) I work pt 3 days a week. today was a day off and awful. I once taught in a failing school and today reminded me of my days there. My dd is such a bad eater that each meal is stressful have been trying the 'if she doesn't eat it she gets nothing' approach but she now has an awful cold and I'm worried that she isn't getting the nutrients to help her build her immune system as she is always ill. Tonight I cooked her dinner and arranged it as a face which i thought she would like but she threw a tantrum because she wanted to arrange it as a face. I put her in her room as I was so angry I couldn't be near her. I then cooked her another dinner which later i let her arrange as a face which she ate but i had to feed her. Meanwhile ds does blw and made such a mess throwing it everywhere. In the end he dropped his drink on my toe and it hurt so much i just lay down and cried. What have i done wrong? why cant they just sit and eat nicely like I had to when I was a child? any advice welcome
