I really feel like I'm failing as a mum

.. and I honestly don't know how much more I can take. Every meal time is a battle, because my toddler won't eat a proper meal and has a total meltdown if I don't let him just eat snacks.

Tonight I've had enough and not give in to him, he's crying so much that he's making himself sick and he's hitting me because I won't say yes and take him into the kitchen.

My partner is currently in bed asleep leaving me to deal with him and I honestly feel like screaming and crying because I'm so frustrated. I feel like I'm failing him and like I'm not doing a good job of being a mum. I feel so upset. I've come to another room before I shout at him and lose my shit.

Please tell me I'm the only one who feels like this. I really need some advice.

If crisps get eaten could you try cutting up bagels into little disc, pita into thin strips, wraps into triangles, lay on baking tray and spray with oil then bake. Similar texture but a bit more nutritious.

Also don’t think of foods as breakfast food, lunch food, dinner food it’s just food. If they will eat lasagne for breakfast and cornflakes for dinner so what? Mix it up a bit, see what happens.

Is there anything other than crisps he will eat? Any chance of introducing a dip? Cream cheese, hummus? Can you blend a banana into his milk?
