Just watched the stories with the mussels and just wow! I wouldn’t even give my 5 year old a bowl of mussels like that in their shells. Anything that makes eating one step harder he’s just going to get bored with! She says she wasn’t expecting nina to like them but still have her a full adult sized portion of them?! Also I get that it can be an easy slip of the tongue to say I’m so pleased you like it but I always try to say I’m pleased you tried it instead. Nina just really looked a bit nervous and uncomfortable trying those and being filmed aswell makes it in to such a big deal that Nina probably feels like she has to say it’s nice.

love this!!Lol ok maybe just me! I don’t like shellfish so isn’t something I’d have on a casual Wednesday night, but maybe if you like shellfish it’s totally normal! I think maybe if I liked them loads - date night with the hubby and then the toddler could try some on the side as someone else said, with some of their own fish. But as the main meal when you are not even sure they will like it and looks a major faff to eat?? Not for me hun.
I've never tried them but I agree it's something I would cook on a special occasion as a starter
She has very frumpy taste doesn't she. I honestly cannot believe we are the same age. That bag is something I'd expect my mum to buy. And it was £200 
My 2.5 year old would eat the same as us for dinner as well, and if she didn’t like the mussels I’d sort something out after she tasted them but wouldn't start off by giving her a different meal. Ninas portion was huge again but otherwise I don’t see anything wrong with it either.
Its just mussels for dinner That wasn’t for me not her having the same, that whole concept I get. Just mussels in general!
not her having the same, that whole concept I get. Just mussels in general!The detaching praise from food idea makes so
much sense but sometimes I have to remind myself about it! It’s so easy to say well done to kids when they eat all their meal but really you shouldn’t, nor should you criticise them for not finishing it. And you definitely shouldn’t tell children how happy them eating makes you. Aside from the food issue it’s linking their actions to your emotions and no child should feel like their have to eat a certain amount or certain food to please their parent. I think something like ‘It’s great that you tried the mussels, it’s wonderful to try new foods we haven’t had before as you might find something you love’ goes a bit better towards encouraging them to at least try things but also giving them the control to decide their own tastes

It’s very smart looking. But if I was going to treat myself to a nice designer hand bag it wouldn’t be something that looks like it’s from H&M.
Each to their own guys but it looks like my nanas bag 
OK so regardless of what you feed your kids you don't give it to them and then ask what it is do you? She talks to nina much younger than I expect too, her voice is really animated. Niiiiiiiiiice nina?
If I put a bowl of pasta in front of my toddler I would still say "made pasta for lunch" or "here's your pasta" not..... What have you got?! That's reserved for when she has pinched a buscuit/peice of bread from the drawer and I actually don't know
My only exception would be if we had baked something together and we're giving it to my husband, as a prompt for her to tell him what she had made.
Her animated voice soon disappeared when she said oh nina look at your coat

I joined for a day then had to leave...never seen a more Braggy group!Someone is on her Facebook page bragging about how she was making flapjacks through her contractions as oats are good for milk supply...
I just can’t cope, thought it might be funny reading rebeccas minions posts but it just makes me angry
She’s begging for a free bunch of flowers now
Do you think she will do another book? The last one felt like she was running out of recipes
