Potty training help!

I’m in the process of potty training by 2.5 yr old son. I’ve been able to get him to pee a few times and even poop once…

But I’m getting so frustrated cus all he wants to do now is play with his penis. I dont want to get sprayed with pee, or him pee all over the bathroom, and I’m not sure if he can pee while doing so cus he’s not relaxed and is in play/discovery mode. I’ve tried holding his hands but he squirms and i end up just getting frustrated. What can I do???

My 4 year old likes to play with his, too. But I tell him, “Point your penis down! You don’t want to pee in your face!” This of course cracks him up and he does so. We are still sitting down to pee since he can’t reach all toilets yet without help.

When I potty trained my son (he will be 3 in July) I used stickers in his potty that would appear once peed on so I think that helped me never having this problem. He always had to pee on something to see what was there. Now he just climbs up his stool and pees on big toilet whether it’s sitting or standing. When he would pee in tub id tell him to aim at the drain and made a game of it.

Is it normal to hate your MIL

Is it normal to both get on with your MIL yet also hate her because she gets herself too involved and makes herself too at home in our own home?!

Useless partner.. what do I do at this point!🫩

So in my whole pregnancy my partner wasn’t supportive, useless and basically neglected me. It’s got WORSE post partum.. how is this possible?? He helped the first week or so but ever since He hasn’t looked after me at all, left me to do everything as per like all the house work, nappy changes bottles I have to wake him up to help and then he falls back to sleep snd ignores me. When he does do something it takes hours for one little task,
all he tells me is how tired he is

I had stitches down there so I can’t lift anything for 6 weeks either, the house is becoming messy because he won’t help run the hoover over aswell or move heavy things etc Everything’s “I’ll do it in a minute “ I’m being called everything under the sun when I call him out on his behavior and then he just constantly walks out because he can’t handle it.. even in general he’s in the toliet for over half an hour or he’s outside vaping. I can’t back being with an immature guy anymore.. I’ve spoken to him a million times nothing changes, I also have all the financial responsibility as he has no money atm cos he was off work on paternity, I’m so sick of arguing I have tried to end the relationship every single day and it’s like he won’t let me!! I feel like a single mum
What do I do! Thoughts?

Problems with husband

I’m feeling so distant from him………he seems always upset at me. Tries to push for sec all the time. Even after my clearance from the doctor it was still uncomfortable and he thought I was just making it up. Literally talks to me like I’m a piece of shit. He’s got so many girls in things shaking their asses on his instagram and I can’t have any guys on mine. I’m not the girl who has people he’s uncomfortable with on any social media. I’ve always respected his wishes. I try to get as much as I can done in the house and it’s never good enough. There’s so much more too. My stress is on maximum with him and I’m just not happy anymore!
Sorry for the rant! I just don’t know what to do?

Would you find that weird?

So I was telling my older sister that my friend is talking to my husbands brother and my sister was like “oh yeah they both look alike and they’re both good looking ”.

Meaning my husband and his brother are both attractive. Why did she need to mention my husband?

Snacks

What can I give my 3 year old for snacks other than fruit? At the moment it’s fruit + baby bells but I need new ideas. Preferably things healthy

First birthday

Hi all, I've started shopping around for some bits for my little boys first birthday. Would just love to hear if there any toys your little one absolutely loves that would be worth looking at?

Also anyone that bought any soft play blocks for climbing etc would you say they're worth it?

For context he is in a rush to do everything, only 8 months and already crawling/pulling up to stand/trying to climb on everything, so definitely a very active little man!

Thanks 💗
