3-year old boy won’t potty train! He has learned twice but has regressed both times. Help!

He knows he’s going to be a big brother at the end of this year and he keeps saying he wants to be a baby, not a big boy... 🙈🙄

I’m going through the same thing 😑. My boy is 3 and his brother was born in December. He will go potty at daycare and not at home (he fights us about going potty). I don’t know what to do. I have tried giving him candy for when he does go on the potty.

I feel ya! My 3 year old will go pee in potty but refuses to go poop in potty. He will only go in his pull-up.

So my son was 3.5 and I was pregnant with my second. We told him big boys don’t wear diapers. That day we put him in underwear and he has been in them since. No accidents, no pull ups, we did bribe with sticker charts and he got a little kiddie pool when he filled it.

What would you have done…?

Grandparents asked to take our daughter out for the day. She did not want to go (she’s 5) and has been saying since last night she didn’t want to go out on her own with them and couldn’t we all go.

So told my husband this and he said “she will change her mind when they are here” 🙄

They arrive and she says still, she absolutely does not want to go out and wants to stay with mummy and daddy.

I let her stay home = very angry grandparents.

Would you have made your child go?

Am I being tested? Wwyd?

- Partner says he's going for a quick bath
- Turns on the emersion as there's no hot water after his teenage son had one
- 2 hours later I ask him for support to make dinner
- he hasn't taken his bath yet so he says he'll have one and then make it for us
- another 2 hours go by before he comes down and decides to take our toddler for a walk. One which was completely random and out of routine.
- Finally he comes home and makes dinner

I'm absolutely starving - 6 months pregnant by the way. I'm avoiding conflict with him as he's trying to give up smokes right now, and I don't want our conflict being his reason for regressing and slipping back to his addiction

Is it normal or common for 10 year olds to engage in sexual activities?

I just read this in a comment section and I’m flabbergasted. Is this a common thing?

Help with living on 2 floors 🤷‍♀️

I need help with something. This might not seem as serious for many, and I’m not sure why I find it so difficult but I need help in how to live and manage my daily life in a very very small 2 level (+ basement ) townhouse.

I’m a 35 year old female I moved here 8 months pregnant and my son is almost 2 and I have still not adjusted

The main floor has a small living room and dining room (no bathroom)
The 2nd floor has 2 bedrooms and bathroom
Basement has laundry and storage for pantry etc (and bathroom)

I find it complicating to go upstairs when I need something , then sometimes I reach up there I get distracted by something else

Now with our toddler , he doesn’t like to be left alone so with him in the picture it’s even more difficult

Also with our toddler , how to handle getting him dressed in the mornings to leave the house

Sometimes I get him dressed as he wakes up but when I go downstairs or eat , he sometimes messes himself up - I keep change of clothes downstairs but I sometimes don’t have a “suitable” outfit

Or should I get him dressed after eating

Idk I feel like I’ve been suffering and I’m not sure why - because I don’t know anyone living on 2 floors that find it as difficult as I do

I don’t hear my husband complain as much as me as it doesn’t bother him as much as me

Anxiety over leaving child.

How do you feel about leaving your kids with family members?
I only trust 2 people… my partner & my MIL as they are both on my wavelength.

I love my mum but she’s so lax 🙈 she’s not really on the ball and often sits on her phone instead of supervising my 4yo which upsets me a bit. He’s had a few little accidents or situations where he’s “ran” off etc when she’s been out and about with him..

She’s always asking to have him over for a sleepover but it makes me anxious. I know I need time without my child. Am I overreacting?
I just want to know he’s safe and being looked after all the time as it’s a big thing for me to leave him 😞

Spitting out food

I’m soo upset and frustrated… my 14 Month old doesn’t eat anymore. All she does is keep the food in her mouth and then spit it out, like every day since she became 14 months old.
I’m really exhausted now, I cook & it gets wasted, I buy those baby pouches & it still gets wasted.

I’m now really worried she’s not getting the nutrients she’s supposed to get.

Please is there anyone going through this as well? Or anyone for any advice that can help?
