Hey anyones lil one still not potty trained? I have tried to potty train my girl a few times. I thought we cracked it one day as she had some accidents but would still quickly sit on potty when poo or wee was coming out but then the day

After she didn’t want to sit on the potty anymore and I keep asking her and she says she doesn’t want to go on potty and I even bought her a peppa pig toilet seat but she doesn’t want to sit on there either. Anyone else struggling?

Yes! I’ve decided she isn’t ready yet and will try in a couple of months again.

My girl still won't even sit on the potty 😩

We tried put she doesn't even care if she's soaking wet or pooped in her knickers, I really wanted her potty trained by the time she was 3 but I don't think it's going to happen. I find it difficult as i only have 2 days off in the week, and weekends we are usually busy

I know what you mean I wanted my lil girl to be potty trained by now too! I have a newborn too so it’s difficult but I thought it was going well and then she regressed! Even at nursery she still has accidents and doesn’t tell them when she needs to go. Hoping our lil ones get the hang of it soon! X

same!! It’s stressful isn’t it! Hoping they get the hang of it soon! X

my girl won’t either now she screams and cries 😳

@S 🤰❤️ It's so stressful. I had no issues with my boy, he was potty trained just after 2.
Everyone said girls were easier than boys too, not our experience! 😩

My little girl isn't potty trained yet, we tried and felt she wasn't ready yet. So going to try again soon. They all do things at different times. X

Tried potty training my son a couple of times as he was showing signs of being ready they were both epic fails and had to go back to nappies felt quite deflated about it. A week ago he woke up and said I want to wear big boy pants so we went with it (I wouldn’t have picked this time as we have a 7 week old as well🤪) he is doing really well, follow your daughters lead they all get there in their own time. They won’t be in nappies forever!

We started yesterday afternoon with 4 accidents, carried on today has 5 wees on potty and 1 poop only 3 accidents which I think is good going, going to continue now, only thing is she's at nursery tomorrow & thursday so hopefully they'll carry on

@Rby as it's been hot just knickers, we have ventured out to the shops as well yesterday on the first 2 day and she did amazing.

Yes I had the same problem. I had to take the nappies away and put her in knickers. She soon learned if she doesn't want to get wet she has to use the potty x

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

My 2 year old won’t eat nothing but snacks

Is this normal ? He won’t even try anything I eat .. he really only like pizza fries and spaghetti… nuggets and snacks bananas some other fruit but like anything else he won’t eat if try but I don’t want to force him I’m just I feel like bad I mean he isn’t losing weight I breastfeed mostly still

Really bothered by this

A friend posted this and it really bothers me because that is exactly how she parents her kid, and it's rather unfortunate because when our kids hang out together, her kid has a meltdown at least 5x within an hour. We have know them for years and it's only gotten worse. My kids will concede to hers, because they don't want to see their friend crying, but it sucks because they give up so much of their toys and enjoyment to keep the peace. We aren't hanging out as much anymore but it's rather sad to think she doesn't intervene more in her child tantrums and just let's it slide

Feeding

My son is coming up to five months and I just started giving him oatmeal and rice cereal. When can you start trying veggies or fruits? I only give him the oatmeal or rice cereal once a day right now which is what the paediatrician had said to do. I’m just curious to when anybody tried anything else with their kids cause my son eats a lot of formula and he’s VERY curious when I eat.

Shift worker daddies - advice please?

My husband works shifts (6am-6pm days or 6pm-6am nights) so when he’s on shift we either get about an hour or 2 before he goes to work or an hour or 2 when we gets home with him.

I don’t think people who aren’t married/have babies with shift workers fully understand the impact of feeling like a solo parent sometimes.

Does anyone have any advice? I do have parents who can help but I struggle to leave my baby with others as I always feel like they don’t understand the need for tracking wake windows or feeds and our baby will not sleep unless we black out a room or go for a car drive . Everyone seems to think ‘if he’s tired he’ll drop off’ - no he’ll just get overtired and have to then pay for it during his night sleep. So I feel like it’s just easier for me to do it all myself.

When my husbands off work he is great but I do take the mental load of telling him what to do or even reminding him of wake windows etc because he’s not here and forgets routines. He’s also being tested for ADHD currently so there’s that on top of shift work.

Just looking for advice on how to stay sane/keep routines or share loads with shifts workers?

Thank you ❤️
