Take it one day at a time.. i know what you mean.. my son was literally terrified of the toilet wouldn’t even go in.. and now he has started peeing in the toilet! You have to reframe your expectations first.. our ASD kids are different so they might need to go slow.. start making him more comfortable around the toilet maybe play a game in the bathroom floor near the toilet.. start emptying poos in the toilet and also explaining every single thing.. they understand more than they let on!! Explain each process with visuals and just start by getting him to sit on the toilet even if its with a diaper. And then making pee noises to make it fun.. and celebrate each step!! For yourself and for him. Breakdown the whole journey from making it comfortable to final end game.. and be prepared it could take months.. its taken us 3 months to get here and now he is generalizing this info by sitting on other peoples homes toilets so thats another win still no jocks yet but its a slow process

But pooping gosh i think its going to take us a few months to get there.. but you will know with each step that he is getting ready taking slow and steady and have boundaries and make it fun.. i know easier said than done but the fun part will lessen your anxiety and his

See this is the confusing part they will go play in the toilet area and flush the toilet but won’t sit on it not even with a nappie and pants on I’ve tried a chart taking the iPad in there lollies I’ve tried getting him to face the other way an drawing in the lid but he won’t do any of it we even let them come in with us when we go but he use to randomly go and sit on there all by himself till we did make a big deal about it now nothing and the more he doesn’t wanna go his younger brother doesn’t want to either I’m just so lost on what to do and I’m honestly starting to think that he won’t be toilet trained by the time he goes to school (not going next year but year after) and his still not talking either so that also makes it a little more hard

I think with me, it has been a ‘when they’re ready thing’. In saying that I’m having the same issues with my 4 year old. It’s so hard I know

It may give him confidence ❤️

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

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?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

People telling you your baby is hungry..

I know people don’t always mean it in a bad way and are trying to relate, but when people say my baby is hungry when chewing his hands. I feed him regularly. He eats pretty much every 2 hours. He isn’t hungry, he just loves chewing and exploring his hands. Or they say something about teething, which it is also not, as he isn’t unsettled with it. I have looked into it myself and can be common and neither of those things! He has done it most of the day since 2 months old.
