You sound like you are an excellent mother!

NewId - You are most certainly not rubbish, if you were you wouldnt be asking for help....
I dont you dont reward her for attention but it does sound like attention seeking behaviour on her part ( may be totally wrong as obv you're there with her every meal time). If she retches soon as its in her mouth thats something i would think is controlled/controllable behaviour on her part.
The worst offenders you listed have quite a similar texures in my mind.....

There was a supernanny episode on this, 2 young boys, and also house of tiny tearaways Dr whatsherface has covered eating difficulties quite a bit....might be worth a google...

i would have a couple of things i would try but they might nt appeal to everyones parenting technique....

btw is she your only LO?

CAFCGirl

why lost s-m?

I feel like everyone is off being a normal human being for the evening with fireworks and im sat on my backside trying to keep the dog from sticking his backside in my face so he can watch the tele from my lap....heaven forbid he should sit on the other two sofa seats available to him.....

Hi SM, just about to disappear to try my hair dye now

searching_me

red my hair is really bloody stubborn so could just be me x

CAFCGirl

awww s-m... I wish I had a short term memory, I'd be able to fill you in with a run down....

(as an aside does anyone have any advice on that?) I've mentionned it to GP but he didnt really seem concerned (probs because we had other bits to discuss)....

Its ok to come in and ask for a run down though if you cant catch up, important thing is you poke your head in from time to time xx btw missed you over on the baby weight thread xx

Evening,

Had a lovely time today, I had lots of practice at juggling children when I was growing up with my mum being a childminder

I had some lovely cuddles off T and very cheeky smiles off everyone else. I'm plotting a return visit with DH.

Katie enjoyed her hotdogs but not the fireworks still too noisy through the window.

Had my offer through from work they're generously not clawing back the overtaken leave (where's the rolling eyes smilie when you need it?), I'm accepting it.

Red - we got to Devon Cliffs a Haven site but book through these people

Tia - so pleased Amber is on the mend and possibly coming home.

NewID - I agree with everyone elses advice, I have a mini dustbin so can't help very much - hello and welcome, you're definitely a good mum to be concerned.

I have pictures from today, they are on my phone which is still in the car so will upload them tomorrow.

There is no chance of Katie sleeping at the moment, far to many bangs going off.

Hello SM, I'm dipping in and out at the moment too so don't worry.

cafc ... bwsc i know .. shame at the mo as ive been ever so naughty since my knee went out ...

short term memory .......... what did you say again ... .... always had a problem with it .. i can remember a song as soon as i listen to it (honestly once and i can remember most of the lyrics) but i still cant find my key from 2 days ago .. possibly in one of my bags or maybe the cupboard, coat pocket ... see this is why i have a spare :rotfl: x
