Potty training help!

My little girl is 27 months and she’s been doing so well with potty training, we’ve just put a potty in the living and let her go naked on her bottom half and we’ve now had 2 days without any accidents but the issue is when we then put knickers on her we’re having loads of accidents! How can we get past this? I want to be able to leave the house without her in a nappy !

Is she communicating that she needs to use the potty before the accidents? Maybe introduce rewards for letting you know she needs to go. You may need to be proactive and watch for signs and cues that she needs to go, then actively put her on the potty each time, talking her through how to take her underwear down. Each time she has an accident politely remind her 'next time in the potty'. She will benefit from watching you use the toilet and talking her through it too, if you arent already doing that. X

Crazy in laws

Does anyone here even like reading family drama? 😂 Because I have enough stories from the last 3 years to write a whole Netflix series.

Ever since I got married, my life has felt like a Bollywood movie thanks to my husband’s family. We’re from different ethnic backgrounds (he’s Arab, I’m Uzbek), but we share the same religion.

My husband is genuinely a good man—he helps at home, provides for us, spoils me whenever he can, and always stands up for me. His biggest flaw is that he tries to keep everyone happy, and that usually ends with us arguing instead.

Just to give you an idea… during my first week of marriage, my mother-in-law compared my looks to my husband’s ex. His brothers told me I reminded them of girls he used to date. When I got pregnant with a girl, my mother-in-law was disappointed because she wanted a grandson. Then when I gave birth, she complained that I didn’t let her be in the delivery room.

And trust me… that’s not even close to the wildest story. 😂

Help! summer holiday 2027

Backstory - i have a little boy 2.5 im not with his dad due to domestic abuse i have a new partner and he’s fantastic and is basically a dad to my first born although he came into his life just after he turned 1 and was walking so he missed the ‘baby’ stage. He has no kids and is the oldest brother with none of his siblings having had kids yet -
Fast forward to now we are trying for a baby and hope to be pregnant in the next few months giving us a due day of end of May/June
His mum wants to book a holiday for me my partner and my son so go on next year with his family they go to the same place each year (turkey) which is a 5 hour flight plus transfer in a self catering hotel - i tried to offer up some alternative places that are a bit more suitable to accommodate a small baby and baby things and shorter flight but i came across really ungrateful and it didn’t seem to me considered they are really lovely we have havent nor do we plan on telling anyone about a possible baby so having to try to say things without much reasoning - they are planning the trip for late july/ august which also means i’m still going to be pretty newly postpartum and my partner doesn’t fully know what that intails he only just realised the other day how long i might bleed for i also had a section with my boy so i couldn’t think of anything worse than travelling that far with a healing wound! but equally love the idea of being in a bubble and spending quality time with everyone and new baby and soaking up some vitamin d to aid my recovery

Partner unfaithful online

My partner has been sending explicit images of himself on a couples site. He did this without my knowledge and even put my initial and a fake age for me and had it set to a couples account without my knowledge or consent. He hasn’t used my photos he claims. But he says he thinks people thought they were talking to the lady of the account.

We have two children under 3. I have had HG and PPD both times, and only just getting better now mentally/emotionally. I’ve been under perinatal mental health. He’s been closed off and says he’s found it hard to talk to me truthfully about his feelings.

He said the way I’ve been acting towards him since our 2nd baby was born made him lonely and he wanted to escape who he’s become recently. I’ve felt very alone too, but have always put my kids and him above myself.

I’ve given him plenty of opportunities to talk with me and even at times almost begged him to speak to me and tell me what’s going on in his head. I’ve also been very upfront about what I need from him - more emotional vulnerability and honesty.

What would you do?

Ugh Men!!!

I've been with my husband for 8 years this year (married last year) he's great Iove him but our sex life frustrates me no end!!!

It's always his way what he wants what suits him it's never and I mean never about me I don't orgasm ever I don't ever have any desire to have sex except for when I'm ovulating (mother nature 🥴) but I do it as it's part of a relationship however, the more I think about it the more I have no desire to have sex is because he's a get in get out kinda guy no foreplay no touching bar grabbing my noobs a bit no missing he literally just wants sex and when he's done (which isn't long btw) he just rolls over and goes to sleep I feel used I feel like an object (we've talked about it plenty of times( and it's got so bad now I'm craving someone to just notice me and want me and want to make me happy because I just don't feel like I get that at all I almost want someone to want me so bad to make him jealous and realise I'm not just his sex on tap person and I deserve to feeloved wanted and enjoy sex too!

Dong really know what the point is to this other than to being as it's currently 1:40am I'm angry and cannot sleep despite being tired I just feel so let down and annoyed. Hoping by venting and typing some of this out I can finally get some sleep before having to just be mum all over again tomorrow ugh 😔

Is anyone else completely failing potty training?

I tried a month ago for 3-4 days naked bum, sitting on a potty and nothing. He will literally sit on the potty for ages, then stand up and have a wee on the floor. Poo - he withholds it until the nappy is on. So the month passed, started again, and exactly the same thing! I think he is ready, he hides for his poos and when he does wee he tells me wee wee. I'm reading all these posts about babies being completely potty trained and I just feel like I'm failing my boy and doing something wrong :(

Potty etiquette 😂

Random question, but if for example you’re in a supermarket or a clothes shop, is it acceptable to just get out the carry potty (in a discreet corner)? Or are you to try and find a toilet and hopefully there’s one close by?
