Toilet training

Our toddler has been saying ‘no nappies’ since over a month now, so we decided to ditch the nappy and started on his trunks - which he loves, He doesn’t like to go commando for privacy.

Been over a week - no progress, all accidents. he holds is wee for soo long without nappy .. about 4 hours after waking up, he wouldn’t do any wee or poo. I can clearly see he wants to go (crossing legs, holding his private part). But doesn’t do it when sitting on the pot, he sits there for like 10mins and says all done and goes away, without doing anything (he likes the big pot, not using the kids potty). Similarly holds off the poo as long as he can, and then does it in the nappy and tells us - done poopoo. I have been iterating next time we do it in the potty, and I take him to the pot, we throw it in pot , clean bum flush . So he knows the whole process by heart but we are stuck in accidents

Not sure what to do.

Useless partner (sorry it’s long I need real good advice tho pls I feel so lost atm)

So I’m 3 weeks PP, my partner has been absolutely useless towards me, he won’t do any house work unless I literally go on and on and on and even then he won’t do it because he thinks I’m being a “bully” and walks out the house, I get called everything under the sun and walked out on pretty much everyday.. he has absolutely no interest in me, he’s either in the bathroom for ages, outside vaping or goes to sleep in the car now is the new thing and walking out on us all.

He went back to work last week which I get he’s tired but I’m doing EVERYTHING myself I also had stitches due to my birth so I can’t even lift anything atm.

I have a 5 year old who’s his step child so I’m basically cleaning up after 4 people including myself, he’s made jokes about “miss postpartum and my postpartum moods” I’m seriously so u happy in this relationship it started to get like this in my pregnancy but I didn’t wanna be alone, I’m really worried to be on my own again as it means I’m a single mum to two different kids and two different dads
I’ve been saying all night how fat I feel and upset I am and he’s just gone and said to me I’m a fat c**t and I have fat fingers apparently too lol.. how lovely!!

Can I just add I do cook every dinner, wash everything up, buy everything! I’ve paid for absolutely everything this month as he didn’t get paid for one week now apparently he has no money and can’t afford it but he can buy himself vapes. I feel incredibly lonely

Girls should I just leave and be strong
Or do I try and work this out for the kids ?

Baby fell off bed

My boy turned 8 months old today and unfortunately fell off my bed. He hit his head and has a 1.5cm graze. Took him to a&e and they cleared him. Sent home within under an hour. He has been fine, his normal self.
I just can’t shift the guilt and I keep crying whenever I think about it or see his graze.
I suppose I am writing this to offload but also gain any support/advice from others.
I’m already struggling atm feeling inadequate. This has just sent me over.

How often do you say "I'm tired of this grandpa" or some other common chronicly online saying.

Admittedly I do this sort of thing often.

Homeschooling

I need opinions! How much work is homeschooling? What kind of resources are there for homeschooling parents?
I have a 5 year old who would be in kindergarten next year but is in pre-k now. Not long ago a strange man was found walking around in her school. We were told he was no threat but they have security so it makes me nervous that he got in there in the first place and is making me think more and about homeschooling. I just don't know anyone who does it on their own so I need insight before I take a giant leap and it ends up hurting my kids education.

Vent

So I am being let go from my job due to company restructure. Feels like its happening everywhere this year.

Anyhow, I know this is stressing my husband to no end. We are living with his mother trying to buy a house which this puts a money wrench in that. Along with baby 3 due August.

I know he is stressed but I feel like he is emotionally punishing me for it. I wasn't fired, my end of year review was top notch. I have received many complaints from the Executive Team Leadership team and worked my ass off. Co.apny is having a cash flow issue. I make decent salary, I worked on AI project and with this they deemed my position no longer full-time.

But this coldness he is giving off is upsetting. I get that this puts us in a major bind. But why shut me out?? Why go flippin limp and have an irritable reaction when I give him a hug. Idk...

But this coldness makes me go crazy and think irrational, like f*ck it we should just divorce. 😫😭

Thanks for reading my rant
