Potty training

Hiya, my son is going to be 2 in july, i believe he’s showing signs of needing to be potty trained (he is putting his hand in his nappy when he poops and taking it out ect)
The thing is he cannot talk yet which i’m worried will be a struggle to communicate when potty training
Does anyone have any tips or has been in the same situation? Or how to start potty training in general with him as i have no idea.

posting as incoginito as don’t want people knowing this much about my child, thank you :)

Thank you so much in advance x

You could always try makaton signing for toilet if hes not yet speaking, but also a lot of children potty train before they speak and just hold themselves when they need the toilet or go and get the 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

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?

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?

My son is about to turn 4. I want to homeschool but I don't really know where to start. Is now a good time to start homeschooling? Any advice or curriculum recommendations

Teeth?

Does this look like teething?

Baby has turned 4 months this week… she is inconsolable and is pulling on one ear😥(gnawing and dribbling too but that’s typical for her).
I can’t feel any obvious teeth, and she hasn’t got a fever 🤷‍♀️
