Toilet training

Has anyone toilet trained their toddlers yet? I feel like my daughter might be ready for during the day (definitely not at night) but I don’t really know where to start

My daughter shows lots of readiness signs. Do we bought a potty, he totally gets the concept but hasn't done a wee on the potty yet. At this stage, I only asked her before bathtime is she wants to sit on the potty which she does but haven't started full on training yet. She is still very young. I might try properly around her 2nd birthday but for sure next summer.
My plan of attack is to put her in the potty straight after wake up and then every hour to begin with. Let her run around naked or with just a t-shirt first, once this works fine, pants but no undies and then underwear and pants. Staying home until she has minimal accidents. Still wearing nappies for naps and night until she wakes mostly dry. Hope that helps.

We've potty trained Oliver, we started about 4 weeks ago. He has done really well so far, a few accidents and daycare has been a rollercoaster. I follow this Instagram which has lots of useful tips about leaving the house etc https://instagram.com/pottytrainingconsultant?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I've potty trained my son Theo. Started about 3 weeks ago. I used the "Oh Crap! potty training" method and highly recommend it. She talks about mental preparation, the best time frame for potty training, myths and misconceptions of potty training, the blocks of potty training, and any setbacks/issues and how to overcome them. My son now takes himself to the potty for wee's and poo's. One thing that really helped is teach them how to pull their pants down for themself and to pull it back up. Good luck! And remember you need to be set on doing this, you need to be determined and know that what you're doing is right. The books explains it all. She also has a free podcast

Am I in the Wrong?

My landlord and her daughter came into mine and my daughter’s room that we are renting today to grab clothes and belonging that she had left here. I received NO verbal, written or otherwise notice of her plans to do so in advance, and was only told later that evening that this had taken place.

When we got “home,” our room was tossed around quite a bit! It’s obvious they had gone through all of the drawers, closets, etc, which also includes our personal belongings, in order to make sure she had all of the things she wanted, I’m assuming.

I later found out that her son (who is a close friend of mine, but still…) had ALSO come into our room, without permission, to grab a couple of his daughters belongings (I had her over to watch her last night). His daughter did not need these items anytime soon, but the way.

I’m feeling pretty uncomfortable with this. In my experience with rental agreements, the landlord always gives prior notice and makes a plan with me/the tenant before coming onto, and especially inside the home. It’s really thrown us off kilter. It’s led us to feel quite uncomfortable in a space that we should feel safe in.

What do you guys think? Is this an invasion of my privacy and against my rights as the tenant, or is the status quo?

What do I do ?

I’ve been pregnant with my 3rd child for 6 months now, I’ve had all my kids back to back because birth control causes me major health issues and I’m allergic to latex. Me and my partner have been together for 2 and a half years. For half of this time I’ve been asking him to help with the kids more, be more consistent with me and him and be more romantic/ hearing me and just making me feel not alone. I’m a SAHM I do most of the house work and we are currently moving. I was already pissed off because he was being an asshole to me all weekend, kept calling me annoying and irritating mind you.. starting around Thursday he’d have short temper with the kids I had to correct him. Saturday we had to get up early for DC, I fed my kids did their hair, got
Their clothes out, brushed their teeth, cleaned etc and he didn’t get up until 9:50, we had to leave the house by 10:30 we didn’t even up leaving until 1130, the day after this we had a family event with my family. Every family event we have went to with my side of the family he’s been an asshole. He got irritated because I was gone talking to my cousin and when I came
Back he addressed me I front of a couple members of my family. We left I felt really embarrassed we didn’t talk until the next night. Which is today. I spent a lot of time packing and he came and tried to apologize but I didn’t say anything else to him. In later asked did he just plan on packing his stuff and he said yes which means he’s expecting me to pack our entire apartment including everything and the kids and myself, I’m just tired. We have great chemistry when things are good but 50% of the time I’m
Unhappy and idk what
To do.

Birthday breakfast 🎉

My 2 year olds birthday breakfast 🥹. This was a very special one as I managed to get some tropical fruits.
Sourdough pancakes, sausages, bacon, grapes, granadilla, rose apple and starfruit. Thoroughly demolished as we woke up very hungry. I have enjoyed introducing my little foodie to all kinds of foods.
This official marks the end of our weaning journey as breastfeeding is stopping today.
PS we choose to serve foods this way as we teach our little one to navigate through difficult foods like whole grapes and eat mindfully ☺️.

To harsh?

So I have this elderly neighbour who lives alone since her husband lives in a home and she keeps coming over asking for "help". I helped her a bit back when my daughter was really young but I feel like now it's gone to far, it started off with her asking me to turn her air up then half an hour later asking me to turn it down and im not a confrontational person but shes started coming over EVERY DAY. I've stopped answering the door when she knocks but she just keeps knocking or comes back half an hour later and yesterday was the worst. My husband was at work and I was alone with my daughter trying to get house chores done before logging into my online school and she could hear the TV playing since I leave it on for background noise and started banging on my door for about 30 seconds straight. Eventually I answered to tell her I was busy and she's hard of hearing so I bent down to talk in her ear and tell her I was busy with my baby and she starts saying "it will only take a minute" whilst TRYING TO PULL ME OUT OF MY APARTMENT and I kept saying I can't help you im alone with the baby and she just kept saying it will be a minute trying to get me to leave my baby alone which really annoyed me. Anyway she starts fake crying saying "well who will help me? You can't just leave me like this please" (she wanted me to shut her blinds and her apartment isn't even facing into the sun) so I eventually just shut the door because my baby started crying. Well about 20 minutes ago she's banging on my door again and I didn't answer because im not having a repeat of yesterday and I called my mom and told her if she comes back again im straight up gonna tell her to leave me and my husband alone and if she comes back again im going to file a complaint with our apartment office and my mom said I was being to harsh and shes probably just lonely but I dont care anymore because ive been nice and understanding and it feels like now she's taking advantage of me. She also has caregivers who go over to her apartment 3 days a week who she says she dosnt like bothering which just seems weird to me that she would rather bother her neighbour's instead. Im not the only person she does this to, I see her banging on the neighbour's door across from me through the peep hole and sometimes she will just sit outside the apartments waiting for someone to walk by to ambush them to help, usually it's my husband coming home from work and if she knows someone's in the apartment she will not stop knocking until someone answers. Would it be to harsh to tell her I will file a complaint against her? Is there anything else I can do? I'm so done with this lady acting like im her personel care giver when my main priority is my child and my own home. Does anyone have any advice?

Husband decides to vent??

So sitting together while the little one is sleeping. We are just chilling he’s playing a video game which is fine with me I play them too! I’m catching up with a friends who are having a baby soon. They are having trouble financially and seem happy but might be stressed about the baby coming but haven’t said much on way or another. I’m talking to my husband about them and what’s going on, this is nothing new when I’m talking to friends.

He freaks out on me says we don’t do things together we don’t talk about fun things anymore, how I’m to busy with the baby and going to back to school full time, and how that’s all I talk about, we don’t just cuddle (I don’t have to stick my dick in you). how he tries to “help” watch the baby so I can do fun things, so I can be how I was before the baby.

What do i do with that? I’m at mom I take care of a toddler full time, i might get 1 day a month for 2 hours my mother in law might watch the toddler so I can study deeply. We don’t have a nanny or house cleaners I do all household chores if not they don’t get done! I know this for a fact because my toddler get sick for 4 days so I couldn’t do any cleaning or washing clothes, not once did he pick up. Other wise I’m studying at night and going to class 3 nights a week. I’m also trying to get a start up off the ground so I can make money for our family and be there for my family on my own schedule.

What do I do with that kind of “blow up” from him???
