- That’s a good thing. She’s mimicking people feeding her. In other words, she’s learning how to socialize with the world. One of the ways she’s been socialized is that her family (who loves her) has fed her, so she’s feeding you back (because she loves you).
The mashing is just about texture and how it feels. She’ll mash everything for a few months. Everything in the whole world is new. She has to experience everything. Sometimes that’s really messy. © LavenderGwendoly / Reddit
- Exactly. My wife’s company has a department of therapists that specialize in pediatric food therapy. A lot of children are born with different conditions that can cause them to avoid certain foods. But you’d be surprised how many kids they see that have texture avoidance bc they were raised by Type A parents that didn’t allow them to explore food (i.e. make a mess) at a young age. Squishing bananas is great for kids this age.
And I don’t blame the parents, if it weren’t for my wife I would have been that Type A parent trying to stop them from making a mess. © Nr673 / Reddit
- She isn’t a single parent. She’s a person who had a kid and lives in the same house as the kid. Even the kid knows it. She calls for you after a nap, not her birth giver. So, if she wants to be a real single parent, then let her. Not your kid, not your problem. Literally. Tell your mom and you and grandma will no longer be caring for Ruth’s child. She said she’s a single parent, then she can be a single parent. I give her a day before she’s on her knees begging you and mom to take back over again. And you shouldn’t. You’re 19. You should be living your life. Enjoying your youth. Not playing parent because your lazy sister can’t be bothered to care the kid she chose to have.
