Starting in the spring when it's a bit warmer and easier to dry the washing I'm sure we'll be having 😂

We did it around sept and within a week she had pretty much got it! Had a couple of regression days and only just started wearing pants at night but it’s been pretty plain sailing thankfully! I did the big little feelings course which is basically a no pressure approach and seemed to work well! Xx

I didn’t want to stress too much about it so we got the potty out a few months ago and just started to say if you need to go poopoo it’s here . So he got used to it . Then one day he just wanted to use it and now he just always says mummy potty for number twos. Just letting him do what feels right for him no pressure and it’s still worked xx

Starting properly next week I think as we have more time to stay at home… I’m so dreading it! He’s definitely ready if a little stubborn.
Mainly worried because I don’t want to make him feel uncomfortable.
I might buy the oh crap potty training book just so I feel like I’m more prepared 😅

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
