Which would you do first?

Our little one has a few challenges coming up and we were wondering which we should tackle first, or are you a do it all at once person?

Bit of context:
Biting holes in dummies now but still loves them

Still loves his sleeping bags but outgrowing them

Showing signs or readiness for potty training

We introduced a pillow and she loved it immediately. Still haven’t don’t the duvet but I think she might also like this so it might be a non stressful one to start with. (Also good to do in summer as they won’t get as cold if the duvet comes off in the night).

Thanks, that's true I think the sleeping bags are kinda hot at night at the minute

I gave my little boy a pillow and he loved it , best night sleep he had had in a while

Changing to duvet and pillows didn’t feel particularly difficult so personally I’d combine that with getting rid of dummies. Make the duvet and pillow feel like an exciting change to combat sadness with dummies. It’s so different for everyone though! X

Have you tried just using a blanket instead of the sleep bag. Like is she attached to it?

Avatar

With the pacifiers I would just only let them be used during sleeping. During the day just take them and hide them and slowly transition that way

No, I haven't tried the blanket yet. Will give it a go and see, I feel like this would be the easier one to start with. He only takes dummies for sleeping or in the car, so he is good that way. It's just getting rid of them completely

My little one found it incredibly easy transitioning to pillow and duvet so they’re probably the easiest!

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

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!
