What on earth do you all do with your little ones when you go to the loo?!

Mine comes with me, but she's turning into a bit of an escape artist, so it's tough when I'm trying to poop 😅

I got a chair I strap her into lmao 😂 sometimes she lets me, sometimes she's on my lap or my shoulder during 😭

I put him in the bath sometimes or I have a downstairs loo and I strap in his high chair whilst I'm in there (door open 😂🫠)

I put my girl in her cot with the camera on!

Assuming at home? Lock the door with him in with me and grab some toys en route!

If out leave in pram and use disabled toilet

I leave his bouncy chair outside the bathroom ready for poo emergencies 😂 it's the only time he goes in it these days. He poops at the same time quite often😂

I'm in a 1 bed flat and my partner is normally at home, I go to the toilet with the door open and she just stands at the living room stairgate watching me 🤣

She either sits on my knee and shreds the toilet paper or I take some toys and put them on the floor of the bathroom (but she normally ignores the toys, crawls into the shower and pulls the thing covering the plug hole/disguisting hair guard out and then tried to get it back in, or goes into the batch room cupboard and rips my sanitary pads apart 😂

omg the toilet paper and the kitchen roll are becoming daily casualties 🤣

I’ve chucked some (new!) tampons at my little girl before which she really enjoyed taking out of the box! Otherwise we have some obnoxiously loud toys in the bathroom so she gets to play with them for a few mins. Looking at you V Tech 👀

I just put baby in his cot with a book

I turn the tap on, she likes washing her hands and dancing to the sound of the water, she literally dances to everything.. she’s danced to the sound of me peeing before😂

I put my son in his cot with some toys whenever I need to do anything like this

how does she reach the tap when you're pooping? 🤔

we have a stool

Put her on the potty, she's got a basket of bath toys she plays with too x

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.
