Potty training regression

My LO started potty training the beginning of April and was doing so amazing, only had 1 accident at nursery for 6 weeks. About 2.5 weeks ago its completely gone backwards and she seems to be doing worse then when she initially started. She has recently been unwell for about a week so the potty training wasnt as consistent but even prior to this she was having a couple of accidents at nursery and home. This week she has had a total of 15 accidents over a couple of days and I know the staff take her consistently. Im also currently 8 weeks pregnant and she doesn't know yet, im worried how it its going to go thw further along I get with number 2.

Has anyone been through anything similar or just have any advice as im feeling very deflated and then guilty for being upset about it.

Don't feel guilty for being upset, its normal to question why it is happening and possibly question if it is something you have done or not done.

I havent been through this myself as we are still early in potty training, but a few of my friends with their LOs (now 4 and 5yrs) did go through it.
- being ill will often cause a regression
- a development stage can cause regression (there is one about this age, often upsets sleep as well)
- has there been any changes at nursery? (E.g. staff change or need kids joining the room)
- could she be picking up on your emotions being hightened, especially stress levels?

Tgank you for your reply, I do wonder if she can sense my stress and hormones currently or if she can sense something is different. With Nursery nothing has changed in her room with staff or anyone new joining.

Im thinking of giving up my parental rights. What should I do

Ive been thinking just today that im really wondering wtf I was thinking about having a kid. I have major depression and I lay in bed all day. Im schizoaffective with ptsd. I never knew being a mom would be this hard plus my son is autistic. I have been handling all his issues and so far hes done a 180 but when hes at home hes a monster. He throws his toys on the floor and on the wall... they make a big bang noise... he doesnt listen to me. Hes also like a little tornado. I cant keep my house clean. He will go in drawers and rip everything out of them. Personally id like to live kid free. I thought I was up for the role but I have big issues that ive been struggling with for years. What can I do. I dont want to give up ny son but I do because I dont think I can handle this AND hes autistic. Any advice? Thanks

Is my husband being unhelpful or am I hormonal?

I’m 40 weeks tomorrow. My husband wanted to get some beer yesterday but decided not to in case we needed to go to the hospital. Today I was meant to have sweep but they couldn’t do it because my cervix wasn’t open. So he said he was going to get some beer because baby isn’t definitely coming today. He got himself a pizza for dinner and nothing for me and didn’t greet me when he came home, just went straight to bed.
My issue is 1. How do you know that? 2. He’s pampering himself, meanwhile I’m now having bad cramps and miserable! And 3. The midwife said for me to relax and for him to help with oxytocin and he’s being super unhelpful! I now don’t want to be around him because he’s bad vibes and I’m not feeling very oxytocin-full at all!

Is it time to call a quits?

My husband and me have been together for 20 years. We were young and so in love. Afte having our baby who is 1.5 year. My eyes have opened up and he is just so selfish.
He has never cooked, wont even make a sandwich or a wrap without my help.
He doesnt do the laundry.
Needs to be told what to do.
I am exhausted and feel I live with a man child.
He thinks he does a lot for our little one but its the bare minimum. All the mental load is on me.
What do I do?

Difference in opinions with in-laws for raising a baby

It seems that everything is so opposite now a days in raising a baby than it was in the past. It gets so frustrating when they offer to help but have difference in opinions of the best ways.. Anyone care to share some experiences and how you handled it? I find it always difficult to set rules or boundaries.

Do you actively watch your child?

Do you actively watch your child or do you look from time to time when out at the park, outdoor activities, water/splash parks?

Took my LO to the splash park today. She wasn’t feeling it much so we changed clothes and my mom took her to swing. I stayed for a little break. This child I’ll say about 5-6 causally walks up to this lady with his swim pants down to his knees exposed. The lady says nothing. After about 3 mins she asks where his mom was the child didn’t respond, she then shouts out “where is this child’s momma. Hello child’s mother, please get this child away from me.” All while child proceeds to take off the rest of his clothes and runs off. 😳😳 He is now on the floor in the splash park. Mother still not insight. She finally appears trying to get him off the floor with no success he goes to sprint off again running and knocking both him and another boy child about 8-9 on the floor. 😳😳

This was all in the matter of about 7-8 mins. No supervision. Injured another child, and the mother is just nervously smiling chasing after her child. No apology to the mother of the child her child knocked down. Then the momma yelling “get this child away from me.”SMH I could only imagine what’s going through her head. I mean I wouldn’t use those choices of words but had her child been knocked over running away the initial time I guess I get it.

My LO is 16 months and I was already anxious with outdoor adventures. After today I think I’m okay on outings for the rest of the summer. I’ll wait til everyone goes back to school. 😅

Partner struggles (please don’t judge)

I’m a first time mum and my son is nearly 10 months old. I understand that having a baby will challenge your relationship… but at what point is enough?? I feel like since having my son. I’m no longer interested in our relationship. Having our son has almost made me feel like I can see things more clearly and my partners ‘true colours’ are more obvious. Whereas before having my son any behaviours I didn’t like, would just be brushed under the carpet, but having my son makes me feel less tolerant to this. I don’t want to paint my partner out to be bad a person, but he’s quite verbally aggressive and I’m tired of it.(I’m also not perfect myself) but sometimes I think would it be easier on me emotionally to do this on my own?? I’ve had thoughts about leaving but I’m worried about the financial side and having no support around me. We both own our home together and my partner has mentioned in the past that if I wanted to leave then it would be me moving out and him staying with our son. (He’s a solicitor) which also worries me if we I tried to end the relationship. I’m just feeling stuck and unhappy. I’m sorry this is long
