Potty Training

Where is everyone at with potty training? My little boy is in pants during the day but nappies at night. Not sure when to make the transition to pants at night?

Been pants in day and nappies at night for about a year now.

I’m going to keep him in nappies at night until he wakes for a wee/wakes up dry.

The couple of times he fell asleep without a nappy he peed the bed so definitely not ready.

Born end Aug 21.

Nappies at night. Will wee in the potty but absolutely refuses to try to poop in the potty. She makes us put a nappy on her for her to poop into.

Pants in the day and never has accidents. Pull ups at night. Mostly wakes up dry but not always. And doesn’t wake up to wee so keeping him in pull ups for now.

We call them his ‘night time pants’ because I didn’t want him to see them as a nappy.

Being dry at night is hormonal so don't feel like you need to rush that. That will come with age. My daughter was potty trained at 22 months but still wears a nappy at night xx

You can’t it’s a hormonal thing at night they just learn to do it can’t be taught xx

My son been potty trained for about a year now, and night trained for about 6 months. He was waking up with mainly dry nappies, so one night we just gave him the opportunity to go nappy free and he just got it (he still has the occasional accidents especially if he fallen asleep before him bedtime routine). We put a potty in his bedroom to begin with, made sure he had a wee before bed, mattress protectors and plenty of spare sheets with easy access. Ensured him it’s completely okay if he has an accident. He normally wakes up once’s a night, calls me and I’ll take him to the toilet.
We just gave him the opportunity and followed his lead with it, he went about 2 weeks after taking him nappies away before he had an accident. Like normally potty training just plenty of patience and just follow their lead.

From what I know bedtime dryness is hormonal, I'd leave in nappies on a night until waking up dry for over a week.

My son has been toilet trained for almost a year now and nighttime probably around 10 months

We stopped using pull ups overnight when our daughter was consistently dry for a fortnight. She potty trained end of October and was quickly dry overnight but as others have said it’s a hormonal change not something learned

We moved when he was dry in nappies for a month and was waking to wee in the night

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

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…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭
