Potty training

We started potty training over the weekend. Today has been horrible. She had no accidents yesterday and today has had 5. We will put her on the potty and she won’t go then not even 5 minutes later she pees herself. Any tips?

She is still learning a lot of it will be up to yall to catch her clues and decide how long yall want her to stay on the potty when you know she needs to go but is holding it till she starts to self initiate. What method are you using and that will make a difference to the tips offered?

this happened to us, the third day felt hopeless. it clicked for her shortly after that. does she stay on the potty? for us we had to read to her to keep her on the potty long enough that she could let it out

My daughter holds it so long she’s in pain, but still won’t pee when she’s sitting on the potty. I keep trying and she’ll hold it for like an hour and then pee on the floor after sitting on the potty several times

I thought we had it down (one accident a day) and then we tried an outing and it’s like we are starting all over again :-(

What I’ve read is it takes time for them to build the “gotta go” cue and have it click in their head. It takes feeling wet and recognizing accidents over a period of time so- consistently going and talking about. Also give yourself a break this is hard!

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…..

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

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
