A retired footballer and wife of an NFL quarterback has revealed her son’s “bad habit” – asking fellow mums for help to break it.
Brittany Mahomes is married to Kansas City Chiefs player Patrick Mahomes and often shares updates and snaps of her family, including daughter Sterling, three, and son Bronze, one.
The mum also discusses parenting, having shared her own tips in the past, such as how to safeguard children with allergies.

But this time, the 28-year-old is the one asking for assistance on what to do.While on holiday, the parents let their little boy watch TV while eating a meal to keep him calm.
But this has now caused a change in Bronze’s behaviour, with the child refusing to “eat a single thing” if he doesn’t also get to watch something, as reported by Need To Know.
“Alright mamas or professionals,” she said.
“We started a bad habit with Bronze while on vacation, we started letting him watch TV when eating literally just to keep him chill and not throw fits in public.
“…cause he is still not the best eater and will fight it and throw huge huge huge fits when trying to make him eat.
“…sooo really didn’t want to do that while we were in restaurants while on our trips…so we let him watch TV and he would literally eat anything we gave him in silence and it was great.
“Well now have been trying to break this now that we are home but he legit will not eat a single thing unless he gets a show and then if he does will eat anything.
“So I need secrets on how to break this and get him to eat.
“Please share all the tips if ya have any.”
So, what to do?
Fellow mums left their pieces of advice, which Brittany shared on her story.
Suggestions including going cold turkey until he broke the habit, switching up the entertainment from TV to flash cards or toys like trucks – and doing whatever is needed to stay sane.
“I see a lot of moms going through the same thing, much love,” she said.
Earlier this month, Brittany announced that she and Patrick are expecting their third child – another little girl.
The gender reveal was an extravagant affair with a pink and blue balloon decoration next to a swimming pool, where the word ‘Baby’ floated in white letters in the water.
However, while the couple appear to be over the moon with their family news, there have been challenges too.
Brittany says she has been struggling with sickness, exhaustion and skin troubles, calling this her “hardest” pregnancy yet.
Thankfully, the mum appears to be taking some well-deserved rest this summer with trips to Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Portugal, as well as a visit to London to see Morgan Wallen perform.
