I seriously wonder sometimes how I weigh what I do... I never get to sit down and eat a real meal, while it's hot or the whole meal.. I am either chasing my 2 yr old around, or he's eating half of my food. Like now I brought in a applesauce to eat as a snack, and guess who's eating it after mommy only had 1 bite.. yeah that's right my 2 yr old! LOL he was like pretty please.. :)

Then we went out to eat w/ friends last night and i felt like all i did was chase my 2 yr old around. Everytime I sat down to take a bite he would take off.. UGH! And my hubby just sat there..

    Duct Tape! Just KIDDING! Time for daddy to take a turn so you can eat in peace. Maybe time for daddy to care for the kids for an hour or so a day so mommy can get a break.

    This might sound mean, but I don't share food. I share everything else, but I don't share my meals. I do, however, make sure to get the kids their own food if I'm going to be eating. The way I see it, Mommy doesn't get any privacy during the day, so the one thing I don't share is my food (unless it's chips or something that I can just give them one or two). I don't want them sharing food that they've bitten off of when they go to school, so I just don't start the food sharing habit unless it's something that comes in bite-size pieces like grapes and such.

    And yes, Daddy needs to take a turn. And you need to tell him what you need. If you don't tell him that the baby is running you ragged, he might assume you don't want his help.
