Potty training a boy

I’ve started potty training he’s peed multiple times and pooped once. And seems to know when I put him on the potty he should pee because he tries to every time. But the issue I’m having is him knowing when he has to and letting me know. Sometimes he will with poop but it’s usually while he’s actually popping. I don’t know what to do to get him to realize he has to go. Appreciate any advice or tips!😊

From a mom who just potty trained her 4 year old and almost had a nervous breakdown down….. (lmao) one good piece of advice I can give you is to follow his lead and don’t listen to anyone who isn’t actively trying to help you or your son potty train. When I say follow his lead I mean always remember, especially in the beginning and when it seems the hardest, that he will be potty trained and he will be okay! Put him in underwear all day. I only use pull ups when he sleeps. Let him feel what it’s like to be wet and maybe even let him poop in the underwear to see what it feels like. When you feel like nothing is working I promise that’s when it turns around! Seriously tho, low pressure and positive reassurance helped so much! I hope that helps 💜💞

We did the naked method and it worked for us.

I never used diapers or pull ups. Just underwear after a week of being naked then by wee 3 we added pants

I didn’t pressure him. He just went when he needed to. Good luck!

We did sitting every 15 mins, it was a few long days but by the Friday we had 3 days trips planned and we did them all with no accidents (one poo started in pants and finished on the potty!) with him sitting every hour.

Husband things it's only HIS money.

Hello. I have one question. I am SAHM and my husband works earning around £4000 a month after tax. He gives me £600 every month to cover groceries and household items which normaly cost around £500 or £550. We have two children aged 5 years and 10 months. So nothing much left for my personal spending without me going back to him and asking him for more money, which is most of the time met with lots of questions and me feeling like a child asking a parent for pocket money. Like I need to be scared to buy anything without him judging me. I do not have access to his bank account and therefore to any family funds what we hold. So I am just asking if this is a normal standard situation for SAHMs or should I demand joint access to his accounts and equal right to spend? Obviouly with common sense. Every big purchase would need to be discussed. But me for example wanting to buy new clothes or in need of personal items without me going to him asking for "permission". What should I do? His opinion is that he works and it is his money. So what about me? Am I not doing enough don't deserve to feel like an equal partner? Don't I have any rights? How are you handling finances as SAHM ?

Starting solids opinions

Is anyone else struggling with the amount of comments and getting told what we should do for starting solids? my baby is 5 months and iv been getting told to feed him at 4 months. Everytime people visit now it’s “have you fed him yet” or “he needs food” I honestly think i’m going to stop visitors for a whole months

Baby dad destroying my things

I was done with him a few weeks ago he doesn’t see his child apart from maybe 1 hour on a Sunday occasionally he just demands everything back he ever got me the whole 4 years I knew him or pay him back all he got me was some clothes and a 1.2k car which I need to transport our daughter around
I said I’ll pay you back if you really need it )he doesn’t he makes 4 k months) everything else he ever got me was destroyed long ago after any argument we had by him

He said fine I’m not giving you any money for our child till you repay me 4k ) I am on universal credit and get 800 to live on)
Like that money is for our child… not me he’s so selfish
Anyway I work up today he came in the night to slash all my tyres and cut the battery off..
So i now have no car to take me daughter to appointments and nursery.
He’s so so selfish and evil I asked him why he did that he said it’s my car fuck you

Refusing solid foods

My 7 months old is not eating the solid foods I give him, he spits out everything. It's frustrating so I just stopped trying when he was still 6 months. Any suggestions I'm tired honestly.

My little one will be nearly 4 months old on Easter and I’m really stuck on what to do for her for Easter because she won’t be eating chocolate. I want to do will give her something more meaningful and like give her a few things to remember her first Easter but I literally have zero clue on where to start?
