Do your kids play in the toilet?

I have a 3 and 4 year old (boys)They love to play in the toilet. The 4 year old goes to the potty himself just whenever he has to pee. So he went and peed usually he pees and then he comes right out. He didn’t this time so I went over to the bathroom to see what was going on. Him and my 3 year old were playing in the toilet after my son peed and the 4 year old had his hands in his mouth. I’m so grossed out. Anyone one else kids do this or are my kids just weird?

What would you have done…?

Grandparents asked to take our daughter out for the day. She did not want to go (she’s 5) and has been saying since last night she didn’t want to go out on her own with them and couldn’t we all go.

So told my husband this and he said “she will change her mind when they are here” 🙄

They arrive and she says still, she absolutely does not want to go out and wants to stay with mummy and daddy.

I let her stay home = very angry grandparents.

Would you have made your child go?

Am I being tested? Wwyd?

- Partner says he's going for a quick bath
- Turns on the emersion as there's no hot water after his teenage son had one
- 2 hours later I ask him for support to make dinner
- he hasn't taken his bath yet so he says he'll have one and then make it for us
- another 2 hours go by before he comes down and decides to take our toddler for a walk. One which was completely random and out of routine.
- Finally he comes home and makes dinner

I'm absolutely starving - 6 months pregnant by the way. I'm avoiding conflict with him as he's trying to give up smokes right now, and I don't want our conflict being his reason for regressing and slipping back to his addiction

Is it normal or common for 10 year olds to engage in sexual activities?

I just read this in a comment section and I’m flabbergasted. Is this a common thing?

Help with living on 2 floors 🤷‍♀️

I need help with something. This might not seem as serious for many, and I’m not sure why I find it so difficult but I need help in how to live and manage my daily life in a very very small 2 level (+ basement ) townhouse.

I’m a 35 year old female I moved here 8 months pregnant and my son is almost 2 and I have still not adjusted

The main floor has a small living room and dining room (no bathroom)
The 2nd floor has 2 bedrooms and bathroom
Basement has laundry and storage for pantry etc (and bathroom)

I find it complicating to go upstairs when I need something , then sometimes I reach up there I get distracted by something else

Now with our toddler , he doesn’t like to be left alone so with him in the picture it’s even more difficult

Also with our toddler , how to handle getting him dressed in the mornings to leave the house

Sometimes I get him dressed as he wakes up but when I go downstairs or eat , he sometimes messes himself up - I keep change of clothes downstairs but I sometimes don’t have a “suitable” outfit

Or should I get him dressed after eating

Idk I feel like I’ve been suffering and I’m not sure why - because I don’t know anyone living on 2 floors that find it as difficult as I do

I don’t hear my husband complain as much as me as it doesn’t bother him as much as me

Anxiety over leaving child.

How do you feel about leaving your kids with family members?
I only trust 2 people… my partner & my MIL as they are both on my wavelength.

I love my mum but she’s so lax 🙈 she’s not really on the ball and often sits on her phone instead of supervising my 4yo which upsets me a bit. He’s had a few little accidents or situations where he’s “ran” off etc when she’s been out and about with him..

She’s always asking to have him over for a sleepover but it makes me anxious. I know I need time without my child. Am I overreacting?
I just want to know he’s safe and being looked after all the time as it’s a big thing for me to leave him 😞

Feels like worst mum ever!

Feel so guilty 🥹 today has been a busy but normal Sunday, food shop, de clutter mode kicked in so took it while it was there as I normal procrastinate, here there and everywhere out an about today son didn’t get chance to have his usual morning nap, in an out of car in shops, but he slept for maybe 20 mins on drive home around 11am usually he does a 1-5 to 2 hours. But once we was home he was awake and chatting didn’t seem tired ect, fast forward to this evening, I’m exhausted we just finished dinner, he’s in his high chairs finishing his with his tv show on me and my husband doom scro on TikTok waiting for him, maybe 10 mins went by I look up and he’s asleep in his high chair, still holding abit of pasta 🥹 he didn’t make a noise, didn’t fuss to get down, didn’t say Bed dada ( we both dada atm) and normal I BF him to sleep still, I feel lost now, I managed to change his bum, clothes, into his sleep suit and into his cot with not a ster from him, I feel so horrible now that he was that tired and I didn’t note that he just crashed in his chair! Also double sad no feeling to sleep and cuddles! I thought I was ready to wean off night time boobie but maybe I’m not 🥹 I feel so bad for tonight tho!! So stupid we just sitting on our phones and didn’t even realise he fell sleep 🤦🏻‍♀️
