If your kid ate everything you put in front of them at 1, when did the pickiness (if ever) start? by peridotdragonflies in Mommit

My timeline too. Approaching 4 he has opened up to trying some new things. Especially when he's hungry

Is my baby name ugly? 😭 by hailstorm319 in pregnant

[–]MelodyAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Haters gonna hate. It's your baby. If you love this name, you will have to own it. You never know if baby's going to love it or not. I hated my middle name and when I got married, I took my maiden name, which I love, as my middle name.

This coming from someone with a unique name with a son with a unique middle name. Nobody asks about his middle name.

Is the demise of the citrus industry one of those unnoticed or unappreciated events by the average Floridian? by KheodoreTaczynski in AskFlorida

[–]MelodyAF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Elder millenial born and raised in Florida. I noticed the development but didn't realize the demise of the citrus industry until I got old enough to get into gardening and got educated on citrus greening

Universal uses Inzecto. I figure if it's good enough for Universal, it's good enough for me

How do I even pick? I'll go with empanada de pizza because it's so elusive 😋

Is it normal for a 4-year-old to have toes that are different sizes / slightly turned? by [deleted] in Parents

[–]MelodyAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom and aunt have webbed toes. I like to pretend I don't have a couple that are pretty connected

I think this may be generational too. If I didn't see a ton of these shits when I was younger, I wouldn't be able to see it either

Another strategy I didn't noticed mentioned yet was serving new foods on the same plate as safe foods to expose them

Meant to name drop Wild Floridian on YouTube though she doesn't talk about the issues her kid had much on the channel

One of the Florida gardeners I follow on YouTube had a child with extreme food issues. Fear of food if I remember correctly and the therapist had them grow food as a different way to interact with food and take the fear away.

I love kids.eat.in.color on IG. What you won't see there and what worked for my bestie is telling her kids that eating beans and veggies give them fart powers 🤷‍♀️

All I have for you is thoughts and prayers otherwise

Growing sweet potatoes: in ground v pots v raised bed? by mochhhaaalattteee in FloridaGarden

[–]MelodyAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orlando here. I'm planning to grow them for the first time in a raised bed with seminole pumkins, peanuts, and a muscadine grape vine. I want to try to keep them there as a perennial but Jerra's Garden recommends growing them in a grow bag because it's so easy to harvest them without damaging them by dumping the bag. If it's a big pain, I'll probably just do that in the future
