If your child is a week into potty training do you just whip out the potty in any public place?

My son really needed to go and just running to a corner of the park where the pram was he ended up pooing his pants. I didn’t even know if it was the right thing to have him sat on the potty in front of everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ but there was nowhere else. Is there anywhere you wouldn’t want your child to go?

When we were just starting potty training we would keep a travel potty in the trunk part of my suv since when they need to go they need to go then and she would just get in the back of the suv and be able to have privacy to go it got us out of well a lot of stinky situations! We would also line the travel potty with a plastic shopping bag so we were able to dispose of anything easily!

That always felt weird to be but I’ve seen other people do it and I don’t judge! Potty training isn’t easy! Even when we were out and about in town we never took a travel potty, we just went to find the nearest toilet. I’d keep one in the car and try for a wee before we left. My daughter spent day 2 and 3 of potty training holding her wee for hours on end so I know she can hold it while we find a toilet 😂

Potty in my hand the whole time we were out in the first few weeks! As soon as he said potty, pop on the floor and go. Until they have the control, then we can tuck away into a more private location. The more you look, the more you notice other mums in the same boat! No one will judge because everyone will have to go through it at some point.

I now keep the potty in the bottom of the pram, we still just pop it out in public if needed but do try to be more discreet. Regularly using the pram as a shield from people😂

Kept traveling potty in the vehicle so when we’re out and about I asked often until she started telling me she had to potty on her own she is full trained but won’t use public bathrooms she loves her portable potty

Has anyone ever just completely changed their lives to have a massive reset?

Basically tomorrow we tell our family’s that we’ve ever so slightly blown up our entire lives!

I’m going to tell my mum and my in-laws that not only have we sold my business that I’ve had for 9 years but we’ve also sold our home that we’ve been renovating for the past four years. AND after telling everyone we were one and done turns out I’m actually 10 weeks pregnant with baby # 2! 🥹

We decided after Christmas that we just didn’t enjoy certain aspects of our lives so we decided it was time for a change. The problem was we had so many big responsibilities what with my business and the house that it felt impossible to reshuffle our lives in order to get happy again. So we’ve got rid of it all except for my husbands stable and well paid job.

It’s been unbelievably emotional and scary but so far I’ve no regrets.

Has anyone else just decided to simplify their lives in order to start again? I’d love to hear your stories

How much does your husband bring home AFTER taxes for you to be a full time stay at home mom ?

Even if you are barely getting by it doesn’t matter how much he makes!
I am just curious to see how families are doing it?
I am a stay at home mom my husband brings in under $6000 a month after taxes we have a 3 bedroom apartment for very cheap so our monthly expenses are small compared to the average couple so this works for us ! We also do not want our child in preschool until he can at least speak for himself around age 2.5 -3

Is anyone else frustrated by the babys father?

So my almost 3 year old, has been taken care almost the whole time by me, dad comes.from work, have to argue almost everytime to get him.do most basic tjings like brush teetj, read a book, he always says is so tired from work, but if anyone calls, he gladly answer and talk for 1, 2or more hours sometimes lying down sofa or goimg out walking outside no matter how cold or hot is! We kind of just roommates, we dont have any relationship beyond being parents of our child. Sleep different rooms, he doesn't seem to care, he provides for all nasic needs, but that's it, is incapqble of playing with his daughter, r3ad properly a book, he will rather build u a new closet i stead of having to deal with our toddler...the few times did a little is beacuse i yell and argue a lot. Anyone going through same?
