t555rm`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll If your LO has hardly eaten his meal would you offer it later, like 30 min or 1 hr later? Or would u just throw it into the trash since meal time is essentually over and instead offer a snack?

I would offer him the same meal as kids will later waste their dinners so they can have a tastier snack later. My son is only allowed a snack of different food if he eats his meals well, if not, same meal (he`s 5 and this has been going on for a while.) My younger son is 1 1/2, and I would offer the same thing when he indicates he`s hungry again. But at the same time, I wouldn`t feed him to close to a meal or I`m setting him up not to be hungry enough to eat it. Think about how old your LO is, that often changes things because kids form habits the older I get.

Unless there was something wrong with it I`d never throw it away. There are children starving in this world and we as a world throw away/waste to much food that is still good so if the food is good I`d def serve it again.

I personally don`t like reheating things over and over so any leftovers usually go to the dog but if its fruit or something that won`t spoil then I`ll mix it with yoghurt or cereal and offer it that way.

Sorry for the typo. I meant `essentially`. To answer my poll I usually just offer him a snack if he`s eaten atleast 1/4 or 1/2 of his meal. But if it`s pretty much left untouched then I`ll offer the same thing a little later. I know some moms who discard it coz meal time is over. Just wondering what u ladies do.

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
