I have two dc, a 3 year old and a one year old, my 3 year old is diabetic and refuses to eat in the mornings unless I spoon feed him, is this normal? Also unless he is hand fed 90% of things he just won't eat, he will eat an ice lolly, sweets, crisps and fruit by himself but at actual meal times he won't feed himself, my 1 year old self feeds and has done from weaning basically, it's so hard and I dread mornings and meal times as like most people have a million and one things to do in the morning and sitting there hand feeding him for an hour (he's a very slow eater and will sit with food in his mouth for 5 mins at a time) is driving me mental. I find myself losing my temper and having to go stand outside raging before going back inside to resume. My husband helps so much at meal times when he's home but he works long hours and only gets Sunday off. It's really getting me down and I can't get out of the house early as he takes so long to feed and finish a meal. It sounds dramatic but by the time breakfast is over I just want to go back to bed and cry and I'm utterly exhausted.
