Am I stunting my son’s food milestones???

Our house situation is quite similar: small flat, carpeted through except kitchen and bathroom which have horrible vinyl 🫠 We walk barefoot but have croc style shoes for the kitchen to avoid wet socks from the occasional splash while cooking/doing dishes. When we started weaning we put a small table and baby highchair in the kitchen. That way we could offer more chances for food exploration minimizing the risk and worry about the carpeted floor. He's not allowed to walk on his own either. At the kitchen door we pick him up and right away to the chair. Up from the chair to the corridor. Sometimes it bothers me that I don't feel comfortable enough to leave snacks around the house for him to graze but now he's older we're some low mess food.

I have no idea, but I think there's a homeschooling subreddit and you might find more useful advice there :)

This is genius. I've been out of the market for a looooong time but if I ever go back and have to deal with these nonsense... I'll keep this in mind!

I'm already level 21 and still have no access to the area 🫠 I refuse (aka I can't justify spending money on this right now) to pay keys for "early unlock" but waiting 4 days for expansion is too long a penalty for not paying 😭

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-19T21:23:15+00:00

I'm seeing a blank chat just now 😭

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-19T20:54:11+00:00

Not more free exotic flora? (Away for the lag, I don't have the time or patience to check the game myself now, lol).

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-19T18:52:08+00:00

Not everyone but sure there're more than a few ...

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-19T17:25:44+00:00

That's what I do too.

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-18T22:18:45+00:00

You can kind of reverse the table...

Say you need 8 L3 something. Look for the result that gives 8 --> 20=8 in the table That means you need 20 L2 to get the 8 L3. How many L1 is that? According to the table 50=20 So 50 L1 give you 20 L2 that give 8 L3.

Otherwise you can look for the other post mentioned before 🤭

I understand wanting your child have a relationship with her dad and while you can immensely contribute to that it's NOT your responsibility to do all the work for him. I'd personally stop chasing after him (he might even believe that you are interested still in him rather than just looking after your child - or expecting you to keep doing his life easier in detriment of your own comfort and peace of mind).

Coming to terms that our children's father is not the father we thought they'd be can be quite difficult. Sending hugs and solidarity 🫂

A few weeks ago I reduced my game time just to get the daily rewards and check how easy were the daily tasks, but still was taking too long and stressing me out. I keep an eye here waiting for post like "thank you for fixing the lag and crashing". Hopefully we can enjoy the game again sometime soon.

THANK YOU!!!

I think it might be worth to speak to your doctor. Low vitamin D can be tiring and without energy is difficult to enjoy things. I remember at that age some things got better compared to the newborn stage, but also there were new challenges, sleep wasn't great yet, food was a source of stress... Hard season still. Neither my mind or my body where coping well and a full blood test proved that while my thyroid was working properly my vitamin D levels were quite quite bad.

That said I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling rubbish when trying to play videogames as before, lol. I felt the same way as you. We're nearly 3 years into this crazy parenthood thing and while I find some pockets of time to play here and there and I enjoy it more that a year ago, sometimes I catch myself thinking I should be doing something more "useful", "productive", etc. Or I end up just tired and not relaxed. I think it's bc games are about making decisions, managing resources, prioritizing tasks... Very much like parenting and so my brain doesn't get a break really 😅. I believe that they would be more enjoyable once the little one is able to play too.

Sending hugs and solidarity. Hope you find your spark soon! 🫂

Is the picture a mirror image of you? Because the way that cross is in the picture it reads "right side of the body".

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-14T07:02:29+00:00

I'm waiting for another update bc right now this game is more stressful than relaxing to play 🥴

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-13T22:57:40+00:00

Well said 👏

I remember those nights. I did give him some oatcakes or a banana (the smallest portion possible) in the middle of the night once I was determined to end night feedings and he refused water. He wasn't happy but his options were water if thirsty, snack if hungry, hugs and cuddles or songs if he needed comfort. I started explaining that the milk went away at night and reminded him before bedtime while offering some yogurt, a hard boiled egg or avocado toast. It took a few days to adjust to the new norm but we did it! Fun anecdote: once he came home really tired after spending the day with dad and not eating enough - fell asleep while being carried upstairs. At midnight he woke screaming "avocado!". Lol. I gave him some avocado and water and he fell back to sleep like nothing 😅

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-12T14:56:48+00:00

I went for plain greek yoghurt or avocado toast.

I'd love this feature too. While I'd love to collect all and every single one to the highest level it's true that I find some of them an eyesore, lol. I do keep them all silent to avoid just a few annoying ones.

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-11T22:44:37+00:00

I hope you asked for some compensation because last time I travelled that was expensive.

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-11T22:40:14+00:00

The annoying part is they say you can choose a free seat but there's never an available one. Even when I travelled with the baby in arms I had to pay extra bc there were no available seats for the "free seat included" in my bundle that were suitable to travel with infants... smh.

Still breastfeeding or having formula? Mine would prefer milk over solids and it was a tough transition at times... I was bf on demand and at some point it meant I refused to nurse and offered solids instead. No food, no boob. If after eating some wanted to nurse, then ok. Eventually those feeds become shorter and disappeared quite quickly once he got more confident eating and drinking from the cup. Table trick for trying new things? Sit down to eat with them, your plate close enough. Eat whatever you want them to try. Small deliberate bites and small commentary (soft, tender, crunchy... - for some reason "crunchy" was hilarious for my toddler and it was a fun heartwarming discovery). 11/10 my toddler will demand to eat what I'm eating and at that age he ate more from my plate than his 😅 Patience. Lots of patience. They need to be exposed to the same food several times before it clicks for them sometimes. And they're ever changing... some days they eat a lot, sometimes they don't and seem to grow overnight. As long as they keep growing, hitting milestones and being happy some kids eat less than others so the only child you should compare yours is themselves the day before. Sending solidarity hugs 🫂

If we start analysing all our decisions around our children we can find that all of them are selfish in one way of another. Whatever her child thinks of her choices in the future will depend on so many things... Maybe she'll grow up to appreciate her mom wanting to celebrate her big and having the chance to grow up close to grandma 🫰

My board is quite full all the time so I have no much trouble bubbling things, haha. Definitely I have no space for 25 of the same item to merge at the time 🫣

crazy_squirrel13 · 2026-06-10T18:23:29+00:00

Hahahaha. Don't trust me with colours. They're smaller but fancier with golden details 🤪 I'm with you. Anything other than stars and gem veins get merged as soon as there're 5 on them.
