Hows year 1 treating you all?

Hi just looking for some advice for my 5 year old. We started trying no nappies overnight a month ago and it was going really well, my daughter only had 3 wet nights in about 4 weeks and all related to having too much to drink in the evening. She was generally sleeping through and I’d get her up for a wee when I got up.

The last 3 mornings she’s woken up wet. I feel like it’s coincided with the change in temperature and her wanting her duvet wrapped around her. Has anyone had similar? I don’t want to go back to putting her in nappies again but washing sheets every morning isn’t ideal. Thank you

Does anyone else have a child who has absolutely no interest in reading? If I say we need to read a book it’s like I’ve asked her to do something impossible.

The other day we were going back and forth for an hour trying to read a short book she was being silly deliberately saying things wrong (random letters not even looking at the page etc).

I said to her we won’t go and meet her friend if she can’t read the book she had a little whinge and cry then read the whole book word for word with no issues.

She’s very capable but just cannot be bothered (it seems) and her attention span seems very short when it comes to reading.

It worries me as I know what she is capable of so will always push her but if she is like this at school, teachers may think she doesn’t know/struggling which may actually hold her back?

Any advise or am worrying about nothing

My 5 year old has dramatically changed? We’ve just come back from holiday and thats when he was really not listening at all. We were on holiday with my parents, my sister and brother who is 11 (my mum had him late). And he was copying everything my brother was doing! Now we r back home, some of those behaviours r still there and he has learned a new thing which is forcing other people to play with him! Such as his little sister or random kids in the park. What can I do?! Honestly I’m exhausted!!! He has become quite rude aswell and will answer back.

sorry it’s not group topic, but would appreciate any advice/ insight please.

We’ve had a tough year and a half/ 2years, both said that. Recently we barely chat at all, it’s all very cold or the bare minimum. However, had a talk last night became very heated about problems over the years, and him judging my character- a lot was said about how I’m a negative person, I talk so negatively about people, I only prioritise the children, he’s not a priority at all, not listened to, I’m a helicopter parent and linger round the children. So pretty much I’m stemming all the problems by not making any time for him. (I also disagree with all of these things and thought these were unfair)

I felt like the argument took a turn from marriage issues and how we ‘felt’ etc, and i was being judged as a person. Then being asked so why don’t you want to spend any time with me?

• am I crazy to have said, because all that was just said, I don’t felt drawn to someone who sees me so poorly, why would I want to spend time with someone who I can’t have a casual chat with as it’s always thrown back at me as ‘that’s so horrible/ negative to say!’?? (And honestly I’m maybe just sharing an opinion on something)

He wants to go to marriage counselling to fix it, but I feel like we’re far past that and in the emotional connection is so far removed for so long it’s too difficult. I almost checked out a long time ago. I’m confused and don’t know what to do? Is this me drilling into this too much and it can be fixed by a ‘third person present’? After a long night, this morning was awkward and he got the kids brekkie and left without a hello or eye contact- so I don’t feel too great about anything. Help. 😔
