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

Do you leave your kids on the floor

This issue keeps coming up with my partner
I hoover my carpets 2-4 times a day i have 2 kids (9 month old is my partners) and the 4 year old loves abit of messy play, i clean up multiple tines a day too so its safe for my baby to crawl around, i put cushions over any hard edges so its pretty safe.
I have my baby alone for 10 hrs a day mon-thur hes so clingy even our families have said how its hard holding him because he is so fat and wiggly😂
Obviously i hold him during the day but when im cleaning i put him in his walker and when im doing other bits i put him on the floor, i dont leave him unattended for more then 2 mins (i live in a bungalow)
My partner has an issue with this, he moans if i use the walker too much (20 mins a few times a day) moans that i leave him on the floor but needed my help touching the car seat ( too see if it was hot) yesterday because he was holding the baby n couldn't but im supposed to do school runs, meals, cleaning and whatever else happens in a day all while holding the baby, its making me abit resentful as im trying my hardest in a situation i didnt want to be in (staying home) and instead of even offering alternatives like ive asked ged rather bitch at what im doing 'wrong'
So do you put your kids on the floor?
Obviously im inexperienced having 2 kids but i thought that was what helped them learn to roll, crawl, sit up etc

My friend isn't poor but is really cheap and it's turning me off. Am i the AH?

I have a friend who i really like and we get along well. But she is really cheap and it bugs me. Her and her partner both have very good jobs. They make more money than me and my partner.

Yet, she is always looking on marketplace for free things, when there are people who are actually in need that could benefit from these free things. Shes always picking up shit she doesnt even need just because its free. She raaaaarely buys clothes, shoes and toys for her kids. She is always scouting the internet for free stuff for them. Everytime she does a photoshoot or has an event, she asks me to borrow nice clothes for her kids because she doesnt wanna spend money and they dont own nice clothes since she only gets them second hand stuff.

I understand saving money and not spending recklessly, but i find she exaggerates.

Gifts age guide

Would you be offended if your 5 year old received a birthday present marked 3+. I have all these unopened games at home from presents we have received. Husband says absolutely not, he is buying new ones.

They seem more at the right level developmentally. A 3 year old would require quite a bit of support.

In-law Drama…

I’m only 5+6 but my husband and I were discussing my birth and he wants his mom there. I don’t want her there because she had said to me before that she never screamed while giving birth and his sister added that ladies who scream in birth are just wanting attention and copying movie scenes. Now he said he doesn’t want my mom there if I don’t want his there…

Am I in the wrong?

Finding interests/hobbies

Ok, I've realised I'm boring AF. I have no hobbies or interests, what are we all doing to find a spark in life? My kids are beautiful but they can't be my only passion???
