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

Inlaws/frosting

I don't know if I'm too emotional or what but my baby is 2 months old & my step FIL decided to give my girl a tiny finger of frosting. Knowing he wasn't supposed to be because he looked around the room seeing if anyone seen. I don't want people giving her anything she's not supposed to & i also feel like he just took that moment from me & dad. Am I wrong? I can't talk about it anywhere else & its been on my mind all night long because I'm so upset. & I'm not allowed to be.

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 😞
