18 to 24 months right? mine is nowhere near ready lol

Okay that sounds like a good age lol my baby already size 6 in diapers lol time for pull ups lol

mine was a premie so he is still in 3 lol

My daughter is in 6s too! We tried the pampers cruisers but they didn't fit her butt right. Trying to introduce the potty chair after naps and at least get her to sit on it.

This is what I'm going by.
Tips on Starting Potty Training
Here's how to potty train your toddler once your little one is ready to ditch the diapers.

We started sitting her on the potty and put her in pull ups at 15 months, she actually went about once a day but then showed no interest in it. She’s a very good talker and will let me know if she wants to try, but other than that we’ve just been letting her run around in a pull up. We will actually start potty training at 18 months but she’s going about once a day by choice, she will be 17 months next week.

lol she like what’s that but yes for sure the plan is about 18 months or so cause I’m tired of buying diapers

sounds about right lol 18 months what I’m looking at to

I hate pampers cruise

When you get the answer let me know ! My baby is one and I’m ready to potty train

I’m just starting to really see her understanding she’s using the bathroom in her diaper at least for poops. I verbally will say uh oh are you doing a poop in your diaper? Or uh oh looks like we have a pee diaper. I let her see me go to the potty and sign potty and say yay! Mama did a pee! Poop! 🤣😮‍💨 I am on the fence if I want to use a training potty or an on the toilet training potty though. Like if you use a little potty then you have to retrain how to use the big potty?? I have a tall baby so I also think the little potties might be too little??

My son is 16 months and tells me when he poops. I’m starting this week. I bought underwear. I’m not wasting time or money on pull ups. I taught preschool for 12 years and I’m not a fan personally. My husband’s nephew was trained in 3 days by me working with him. No pull ups. Just underwear.

advice from being an aunt and preschool teacher, I have had kids not use the toilet except their own training potty. My husband’s nephew was terrified of real toilets and didn’t use them until he was 4 years old. I agree 200% about pull ups. They are just diapers but thinner.

Parenting 24/7 is harder than going to work full time?

I’m having a debate with my partner as he’s done nothing to help since. Our 14 month old was born, I’ve done it all alone all day and all night. He gets a break when he comes in from work all night I never get a break
He try’s to tell me it’s harder going to work full time 5 days a week than parenting ALONE 24/7?
What do you think

Partner is giving me the silent treatment

So I was struggling with my postpartum anxiety bad yesterday. My partner and I was out for drinks with family. He kept making jokes about treating me a bit shit.
Which no one thought was funny. I am usually quite patient about him using me as his jokes, but yesterday it hurt.

When we got home I told him it made me feel disrespected. Now he is giving me the cold fat shoulder?! What do I do ?

Divorced at 5 months PP

My husband just divorced me yesterday.

I'm 5 months post partum and I feel like complete shit. I literally can't stop crying and I don't feel like eating and this whole week my milk supply has gone down due to stress and not eating. What helps with milk supply?

The divorce- on Monday at 5am me and my husband had a small argument on text. It was regarding him not catering to my love language. I sent him a video on how women shouldn't have to ask and how laziness can kill a relationship. We've had many arguments regarding this prior about him not catering to my love language and he doesn't buy me flowers or doesn't think of me. Anyways this night, he text me saying he doesn't do Mother's Day and all that, he doesn't want to buy me flowers because my sisters buy me flowers and he can't be arsed with my moods. He said I've not been his peace and said he's done.
I replied "okay. All I want is for you to appreciate me and love me as your wife and mother of your child. I'm not pushing you away, I'm begging you to love me etc etc. I'm done too."

I come home from my errands that morning and he's upped and left. He took all of his belongings, clothes, drawer, tv- everything.

He didn't ring or text me or anything.

The property is in my name and as he left and didn't leave the key, I changed the locks the next day. I feel this is what pushed him over the edge.

He officially divorced me on Saturday.
I'm 5 months post partum and I have a 5 year old from my ex partner too.

I just want to talk about it with someone that's not biased. Was I asking for too much? I feel he just didn't want to be with me anymore and used this as an excuse? Or is that me overthinking....
Input would be nice xoxo

FTM

Hello,
FTM here. At what age do you stop applying cream on nappy area during nappy changes? My 2 year old boy isn’t toilet ready yet but uses both nappy pants/pull ups and regular diapers

I live in a small 2 bedroom flat. How do I keep my home smelling nice?

Especially bedroom considering dirty laundry lives in there too. I do laundry once a week because I don’t use enough to do more frequent.
But I just want my room smelling nice and cosy.

The more natural the method the better ladies 😣
I open windows everyday. I don’t get enough sunlight for plants 😭

wtf moment?

I have been going back and forth with my husband lately. Well not lately it’s been years. He is the best husband and father you could ask for; for two weeks. Then he’s inconsistent. It drives me mad. Then he’s back to husband and dad of the year , then back to same inconsistency. I talked to him about this last night and he said “if i was lovey dovey and acted like this all the time you’d get bored and cheat on me.”

Ok so for starters i know some of you are going to say omg omg omg super controlling omg leave omg. No im not doing that. Im happy he finally admitted his wrong doing and taking accountability for it but id like to know the deeper reason, the what the f has him thinking like this reason, the personality trait reason. He’s obviously scared I’m going to leave him; so much so that he’s doing this dumb shit to prevent it. Past trauma? What do y’all think I can do to get him to see I’m not going anywhere? I’m consistent already, I married him, we have a baby. He really is the love of my life. I have never loved another man like this before.. but this shit is for the birds and he thinks he’s keeping me doing this but in actuality it’s making me lose respect and detach.
