I need to get something off my chest i told my daughter to pee in the public pool. Not a friend’s pool but a big public pool splash park and I want to know if others do similar?

Before you castrate me in the comments I only did it because i was there with 4 little kids as the only adult and I didn’t want to drag all 4 wet kids out and into a gross public bathroom when we had just arrived and I made them all use the bathroom before we started playing but you know how kids are. Anyways she refused to do it even though she’s only 4, she kept saying that people are going to know and I was like JUST DO IT 🫣 I ended up having to take all 4 of them into the bathroom because she was too scared to pee in the pool but handling multiple wet kiddos in a setting like that is my least favorite thing and I think the chlorine and stuff just kills most of the germs and also if there’s lots of kids there’s bound to be pee in it from others anyways

My parents would tell me to do that as a kid 😂

Nah, that's gross.

Doesn't the pool have adult to child ratios?
4 kids to one adult is too many in a public pool.

I’m 50/50 with this as I only have two kids and it would stress me out getting in and out, but I would also expect my child to have gone for a wee if they needed one at the time the toilet. My daughter tho will sit on the potty if I ask her to and not go and then 15 mins later will need to go as she doesn’t quite understand yet until she NEEDS a wee (only just potty trained). But I do agree, with peeing in any pool is not hygienic or good to teach a child, yes it could have been just your child that did it, but imagine every child doing it. How may people/children drink that water, or just go to relax.

I do think that the should have some sort of rule on parent to child ratio, if not, outdoor toilets right next to the pool so you can keep any eye on everyone.

When I was a kid my parents said if I pee in the pool it will turns the water red around me lol

As above, this is one of the reasons why pools here have ratios. Four little kids to one adult in a pool is very unsafe, and also not practical, for the reason you have put. I would never encourage peeing in the pool.

Am I wrong

Am I wrong for telling my mom to stop telling me how to parent and running my household cause she doesn’t live here and she tells me I’m always want to argue with her cause I tell her to stop telling me how to raise my kids cause everyone else saying I’m doing a good job and having one kid that’s autistic and I have 3 kids everyone say I’m doing a good jobs with them but she the one that wants everyone to be so perfect. It really pisses me off so I hang up on her

Relationship Advice!!!

Guys I really need some advice. Me and my partner have been together for just over a year and for half that time he’s been jobless. At the start it was easy to have empathy for him as he got let go because the buisness he was working for had been bankrupt and shut down… but it’s been 6 months now and he still doesn’t have a job and has only been to like 3 interviews. I thought his motivation would change when I had our baby 3 months ago but it hasn’t.
I’m starting to build up a lot of resentment towards him because I feel like he’s not putting in enough effort. We had to move in with my parents because we can’t afford to buy a house or even rent. I only have a couple thousand in my savings and he has basically nothing.

It’s not the fact that he doesn’t have a job that is annoying me it’s the lack of ambition and motivation that’s really making me resent him.
He’s also let himself go. He’s put on weight, he doesn’t follow basic hygiene unless I constantly remind him and he doesn’t help me with the baby unless I ask. He also plays video games 24/7.
I don’t know how to explain to him how important it is to find some motivation and work toward a goal.
I’ve tried being nice and gentle about it, I’ve tried being harsh and blunt, I’ve tried to apply for jobs for him and make calls for him to find him a job and i’ve tried to have open conversations about our goals in life and for our baby but nothing seems to work.

I’m not attracted to him anymore which breaks my heart because I love him so much but whenever he tried to initiate sex my body closes up and I’m not interested at all. I’m also so snappy toward him all the time because of all the build up resentment I have it’s hard not to snap at him for little things.
I’m at a loss here and I have no idea what to do moving forward.
If anyone has been through something similar or has any advice please please please comment!!!

Intimacy after having a baby

I’m 5 months in to motherhood and I have no urges to be intimate with my partner at all yet, I’m tired so busy 24/7 I feel like I’m letting him down but honestly my baby needs so much from me bouncing/rocking to sleep at night will only contact nap during the day I’m exhausted, is anyone else the same? I used to have a fairly good sex drive and I know the change is upsetting for my partner I love him so much but I’m just drained by the time we get any time alone I’m so touched out even his hand on my leg drives me nuts I just don’t want to be touched anymore by then.

4 week old- take to a and e to be with sibling?

My eldest (3 years) is ill and needs to go to a and e. Should my husband take him and I stay home with little one or do I risk it and take him so I can be there for eldest?

This is heartbreaking

Changing

What do you do if you're at a park and baby needs nappy changing but there's no facilities?
Same with a toddler?

I've been changing baby in pram shielded from view, is this OK? But I feel toddler is a little too old to be changing in public (2yo)
