What age did your baby stop dropping food and other frustrating things

[MrsMaow]

I’ve just had a particularly frustrating lunch with 10 month old DD. I know when she drops and throws food it’s totally normal, part of learning, not deliberately annoying, just a phase etc but my god it’s irritating when she doesn’t even try it first. Probably extra annoying as I’m irritable with PMS and immediately preceding lunch there was an epic battle to change her nappy without getting shit everywhere.

So my question is, what age did your child eat food or push it away rather than drop it? Stay vaguely still for nappy changes/be potty trained? 18 months? 2 years? 3? Longer? Maybe if I have a rough idea I can distract myself from the annoying by trying to count down in years, months, weeks, days and hours and have a confused expression on my face rather than trying to hide an annoyed one.

To clarify I do absolutely adore her but I do also find annoying things annoying.

Also, if you can remember what age your baby stopped trying to shove his or her fingers up your nose every time you tried reading to them that would be good to know too.

Mine's 15 months and still absolutely looses her shit (pun intended) at every nappy change. I just have to find a new and interesting spoon/toy/set of keys each time to distract her.
Food throwing didn't actually last that long, a few months, but doesn't do it anymore

I have a 4 year old who wont eat hardley anything.

20 months and still doing it here.

Agree regarding the judgment on food throwing one of my kids you tell them no and they know they’ve not to do it. The other one that’s like a challenge now I will throw my food and don’t care what the repercussion is.
People so often think they are amazing parents because their discipline worked but in reality you got easy kids.

Hmm. Just trying to recover the situation after my 18 year old dropped something important down a drain cover this week . I think you might have a long road ahead......
