3 day method

Has anyone used the 3 day/oh crap method of potty training?

If so how did it go ❤️

Day one was so tiring but she did one successful big wee on the potty.

Please I need more motivation that this will help?

I used the big little feelings course and it took 3 days for her to grasp it all. And now she barely ever has accidents, and she hates wearing nappies x

We started when she was 2.5 and it all just clicked. She’s now just over 3 and wakes up dry every night.

If she appears ready and likes the potty then I’m sure it’ll all just clicked for her x

I didn’t follow any method, but my daughter was accident free in 3 days, but that’s because she was really ready. I think that’s the key thing really.

Didn't work at all with my son but worked perfectly for my nephew

I just really hope day 2 goes a bit better

2 1/2 yrs old is the sweet spot, IMO.

My 22 month old was completely potty trained and asking to go potty by the end of the first day. I swear by it! She was back in undies/clothes by day 2.

We did it outside on the porch (middle of summer) to eliminate all the stress, I think that’s why it was so successful.

well my daughter is 21 months and lots and lots of wees and lots of sitting in the potty etc but only one successful wee in the potty.

We went all day and I stayed consistent. I just really hope the second day she gets the hang of it!!!

Everyone has been saying I started too early but I was confident in her abilities as she is so smart!!! X

In my experience with my son, if it's difficult and stressful, they aren't ready. We had 2 awful days when we first tried, he wasn't getting it at all, 3rd day he asked for a nappy. We tried a few months later, a bit of a rough couple of hours then it clicked. 2 days at home naked, went out the 3rd day with trousers on, no pants, he was fine, asked to go. In comparison it was a breeze.

I did the oh crap method at 20 months and it is great!!! The first day was literally crazy for us but she got the hang of it with minimal accidents by the third day! We are a week and a half or so in and she rarely has an accident, but if she does it’s often from me missing the cues 😅

We really just had to ride the wave 😂😂 because the first day at this age for our daughter made me start questioning what did we get ourselves into lol

I combined the 3 day method with oh crap and 3 days is very unrealistic tbh. I’m saying this as someone who’s already done elimination communication so my toddler was already halfway potty trained and hadn’t pooped in a diaper since he was 6 months old. That being said, it took about 10 days before I could confidently say he’s potty trained.

I did a rewards program so every time he went to the potty he would get a small reward did this for two months and now he tells me that he needs to go or he will take himself he is 3 but started at 1 after the first week we only needed nappies for nap time or if we were out and about

Is this normal

Let’s say you’re at a softplay with your 2 year old, and some friends & their toddlers.
You buy your 2 year old a kids meal - chicken nuggets, beans, and chips. They’re very happy with it and have almost eaten it all.
They’re sat at the table, fork in hand, consistently eating, and have one chicken nugget left.
Your adult friend comes over from behind you, picks up the last chicken nugget, and eats it.
There was no indication that your child wasn’t going to eat it, and they didn’t ask. They just took it with no warning and ate it right in front of you and your toddler.
How you reacting?

Are these men ok?

I get so sad seeing all the posts on here daily about women dealing with partners who are treating them horribly. I know it seems over represented because those of us with great partners don’t need to write posts asking for help, but I really hope most of us don’t have these kinds of men in our lives!

I tell my husband about these posts I see sometimes and he’s even shocked by some of the things these guys say/do.

Nobody’s perfect, and every relationship takes work. And becoming parents is a stress test unlike any other for sure, but seeing how many women get stuck in these relationships with men who aren’t interested in being better is so so sad😞

But is/was your partner helpful, loving, and supportive during your pregnancy/PP/etc? Was he a wonderful person but changed for the worst after becoming a parent? Has he put effort into becoming the partner you need him to be, even if he struggles?

Car issues

Idk if I’m in the wrong. I have a full time job. My husband takes care of the kids while I worked. Today was the day I was supposed to get us a car. But I couldn’t cause of the down payment. So now he’s texting me saying I’m wasting his day to be alone at Walmart so he can spend his tax return. I really want to say go ahead. Leave. Leave the kids and me alone. While you go out and spend money. While your at go ahead and buy urself your drugs and a bitch to go fuck.

Lucky I’m even thinking about him about the car situation if not I would’ve been buying me and the kids a car small enough for us!

Nursery lunches?

My daughter is nearly 10 months old and starting nursery next month. I want to send my daughter in with lunches so I know shes eating healthy meals but I'm honestly so lost as to what to put in her little bento lunch box that will keep till lunch time and doesnt need reheating. Ive been doing loads of baby led weaning at home, but I tend to make it fresh or pull stuff from the freezer I've previously made and defrost and reheat.
Could you show me some of the lunches you've been giving your baby? Or have you been been letting the nursery deal with the food?
