Potty training

Moms who have potty trained their sons. How do you get him to actually pee in the toilet. He loves sitting on the toilet. He knows he needs to take his diaper off to sit on the toilet. He likes flushing the toilet so I know he's ready. Every time we give him a bath. We know he'll pee in the bathtub so as soon as he does we rip them out and put him on the potty telling him you can't pee in the tub. You have to pee in the potty. But then he stops. We can just never get him to actually pee in the potty. Any tips or tricks from other moms who have dealt with this?.

Consistency. Taking him a lot. Keeping him out of diapers. Naked or training underwear. Read oh crap potty training. Helped us. Our son did great with a sticker reward chart and getting a small treat. Jelly bean, chocolate. Stuff like that.

Put rainbow sprinkles in the potty…when he pees on it the pee gets coloured by the sprinkles. Worked a treat for us!

I feel like we did a little bit of all the methods
the naked method for a few weeks after he pooped we keep the bottoms off all day. We did the every 15 mins. The reward system. And we are now able to do car rides and run errands with no pull ups. Haven't conquered night time yet. But I say try a little bit of everything ☺️

I would take him every 20-30 min. Give him lots of water to drink

Give a reward like a chocolate chip or sticker for a pee

Try right when he wakes up. Get him a potty book. Put a stuffed animal on the potty

He did small "rewards" for our son. He got a cool stamp for going pee that he could put on him body where he likes and a small toy (typically from the dollar store or a hot wheels car) for poops. And a lot of hyping and high fives! Like crazy awesomes, you did so good. Every time he tried and nothing happened we reassured him that it's okay and we can try again later.

Let him stand and put a target sticker in the bowl that he can aim for.

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…..

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

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 😓

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 😭
