Potty training

Anyone else started potty training? If so how's it going?
We started this week as my little one kept taking her nappy off anyway due to the heatwave🤣 but we haven't had much success..

Too early for us. My first child has been potty trained at 3 and it took us 6 months!

We started a while ago with no pressure but have recently got a sticker chart. We have good days and bad days. She went on the potty at nursery for the first time the other day, and today whilst at one of her classes she told me she needed wee wee so we went to the toilet and she did it 😊

I tried last month and it was a disaster, no luck at all but I left the potty out and I didn’t pressure it to be used however when we read any books I’d ask him to sit on there and repeat potty is for wee and poo. 3 weeks later, he randomly started saying potty when he was having a poo (in pull ups still at this point) so I decided to say bye to nappies and tried again, thankfully this time he has taken to it, don’t get me wrong we’re still having some accidents but he really does try to use the potty now. I will say when he has any type of pants on it’s a different story. He completely forgets to ask/go so currently only working when no bottoms on… if your little one attends nursery or other care make sure to let them know your also trying, when we first started nursery did the same and I truly believe that helped, especially as he seen others his age using it. Also don’t push if they are not ready, it’ll make it harder for you both in the long run, I tried too hard the first time x

Nope. My daughter was two yesterday. A few weeks ago she started pulling her trousers down and sitting on the potty, so I think she now understands the mission. But we're not even going to bother trying for many months. There's no point until we see her wanting to wee when she sits

To early she doesn’t understand nothing it’s just exhausting my daughter started when she 29 months and within 5 month she was good never made any accidents .

Do you leave your kids on the floor

This issue keeps coming up with my partner
I hoover my carpets 2-4 times a day i have 2 kids (9 month old is my partners) and the 4 year old loves abit of messy play, i clean up multiple tines a day too so its safe for my baby to crawl around, i put cushions over any hard edges so its pretty safe.
I have my baby alone for 10 hrs a day mon-thur hes so clingy even our families have said how its hard holding him because he is so fat and wiggly😂
Obviously i hold him during the day but when im cleaning i put him in his walker and when im doing other bits i put him on the floor, i dont leave him unattended for more then 2 mins (i live in a bungalow)
My partner has an issue with this, he moans if i use the walker too much (20 mins a few times a day) moans that i leave him on the floor but needed my help touching the car seat ( too see if it was hot) yesterday because he was holding the baby n couldn't but im supposed to do school runs, meals, cleaning and whatever else happens in a day all while holding the baby, its making me abit resentful as im trying my hardest in a situation i didnt want to be in (staying home) and instead of even offering alternatives like ive asked ged rather bitch at what im doing 'wrong'
So do you put your kids on the floor?
Obviously im inexperienced having 2 kids but i thought that was what helped them learn to roll, crawl, sit up etc

Gifts age guide

Would you be offended if your 5 year old received a birthday present marked 3+. I have all these unopened games at home from presents we have received. Husband says absolutely not, he is buying new ones.

They seem more at the right level developmentally. A 3 year old would require quite a bit of support.

Why does divorce come to my mind..

Here’s a little breakdown of my life.

3 years with my partner.
1.5 years married
I’m 9 months pregnant
He has a disability that affects his whole body. - stress gives him flareups and can even make him bed ridden.
1.5 years into us dating his health hit him so hard he was bed ridden for 3/4 of a year which only brought out his anger more because of the amount of pain.

He’s been used to watching porn to cope since 7 years before meeting me because of a fucked up upbringing.

He gets mad very easily, cusses me out, snaps. Makes me feel like total fucking shit. Sorry for my language.

I never wanted to have a family that would split. I always wanted my kids to have a stable family, with a loving husband and father.

I can be going into labour any minute and each day our relationship just gets worse.

Is this how pregnant hormones fuck you up mentally? Make you argue. Make you wanna snap and just wanna give everything up?

At times I wish I was never pregnant. And I feel like slapping myself every time I think like that because I love my little one that i still haven’t met yet…

Can someone give me a bit of clarity please..

Not enjoying it....

Is anyone else still not enjoying this?

Our baby is 9weeks and its nit getting easier.... ive had the worse night.

Just so fed up now, all he does is moan and cry majority of the day. I only have my parents for help, which they do help alot.

But I am really angry all the time arguing with my husband or moaning at him every day, multiple times a day

Im just so unhappy. Everyone keeps saying its gonna get better, when?!

I already have a 2yr old and when hes not at nursery and I have them both it is absolute chaos. Between the pair of them they set each other off with screaming.

I just want it to get better

Is a wife responsible for her husband's weight gain?

If your husband is eating a bunch of unhealthy food late night then complains about his weight gain and you try having a conversation about his late night eating letting him know he should stop eating at least at 10pm (he has a late shift) but he keeps doing it are you still responsible because he's your husband? I'm currently losing weight I stopped eating after 7pm and i stay in a calorie deficit and I drink 1 gallon of water per day and it made a big difference. We also work out together but he doesn't show up to all the workouts but I still stick to it. I feel bad for him 🫤 idk what to do

In-law Drama…

I’m only 5+6 but my husband and I were discussing my birth and he wants his mom there. I don’t want her there because she had said to me before that she never screamed while giving birth and his sister added that ladies who scream in birth are just wanting attention and copying movie scenes. Now he said he doesn’t want my mom there if I don’t want his there…

Am I in the wrong?
