Need to re start potty training?

We are 1.5months since starting potty training for my daughter. We got to the point where she would have no accidents at nursery and maybe max one at home when she got home from nursery or too distracted and would start a wee in her pants but do the rest in the potty.

She stopped telling us she needed to go. And now unless we take her to the potty she just does everything in her pants. If she is at the potty she will do her business but it is often now a battle to get her there. We try bribing her (favourite food) to do a poo in the potty and she will do that for a day and then decide she doesn't want too. Or say we won't go out until she uses the potty etc so kind of a restricting punishment without being too severe.

We never make her feel bad for the accidents, just tell her next time to tell us before she needs to wee/poo, and that it's better to get it all tidy in the potty than in her pants.

Average day is now 3-4 accidents. Thoughts / opinions for how to keep going or to stop for a bit and come back to it.

Keep going I feel like once you’ve started there’s no going back as it’s too confusing for them. Accidents are completely normal I wouldn’t make it a battle if she doesn’t want go don’t make her. They regress a lot that’s normal too but my little girl done this now she’s back to being dry but I’m sure she will go backwards again and have accidents x

I don’t identify with my kids names.

Has anyone else felt like this after giving your children names outside their culture and also giving them your husbands last name? I think about it daily and it really upsets me.

Equal share of responsibilities

Has anyone managed to get their other halves to be able to contribute to just housework on top of their work schedule without having to constantly ask or remind them? If so tips please? I'm triggered by doing a food shopping list with my husband for us to go food shopping for him to say "oh I thought you were going to go out and get it". Mind you it's a big shop and neither of us drive so how did he think I was going to manage it on my own fucking lazy twat! Mind you I always pick up bits and bobs when I'm out anyway I guess he's too used to me doing it all. So now I'm back in bed drinking cheap Sangria from Morrisons and about to watch trash TV whilst he can sort the baby out today. Mama's taking a day off!

My husband says I’m toxic

He told me I’m toxic and I’m poisoning our relationship because I only want to have sex when he screams at me about how I never give it to him. I told him that coercion, and maybe if he didn’t get so angry every time I said no, I’d want to more often. I told him this makes him the toxic one. He says with everything he does for me and the family, the least I can do is lay on my back without complaining. I told him it needs to be something we both want, and he said we only do it when I want… I said no, because he also wants it when I do, and there have been times I’ve initiated and he said no and I respected that. I said if anything, we do it more when he wants because he’s not wrong about me giving in when he yells at me. He says he shouldn’t have to yell at me to get taken care of properly, and that I’m failing him as a wife. I told him he sounds ridiculous and he’s the one being toxic, to which he flipped out with “I’m always the problem” and I told him yeah, he is always the problem. I’m not perfect, but I spend a lot of time fixing what he breaks. He ended up telling me if we didn’t have sex last night then he was divorcing me. I told him I wasn’t doing it, and that I agreed maybe a divorce is best if sex is really the only things he sees me for. He left before I woke up this morning. I haven’t even tried to contact him. I’m still just so… dumbfounded?? Like the actual fuck?

Weaning

My little one is almost 7 months old and we started on pureed veggies etc I’ve done a few other foods with more lumps but when it comes to her feeding herself finger foods i am absolutely terrified of her choking. She is however getting bored of the purees and wants more food. I just don’t know how to shift this anxiety as I don’t want to feed her anything else 🫣 I gave her one of the melty wafers / melty sticks and as soon as she coughs even a little I take it away. Someone please tell me it gets easier or give me some ideas of what I can give.
