Getting child to wipe after going poo

Anyone have any tips to get a child to wipe their butts after pooping? My son had a delay with potty training so I really haven’t gotten on him about it…he was fully potty trained at 5.5 years old..but he’s 7 now and I don’t want to let him get too far behind and he’s not really motivated by rewards.

Ever see those tik toks where the mom uses 2 balloons side by side with some chocolate pudding in between it? And than you show them how to wipe it up ? Maybe that would help?

Housework and kids

Would love to know some opinions.

I was with a mum friend and she made a comment (wasn’t to be mean or offend me) but it did make me think.
We were talking about cleaning/housework and saying how having kids and keeping up with the house was hard. I then said I clean as I go, l spend 10 mins after meal times cleaning or I’ll let my little one have some free play while I put washing on or away, hoovering ect.

She was really taken aback and said oh no she lets it build during the day and then once her kids are in bed then cleans, tidies and gets all the jobs done. She thinks that doing it while they are awake is taking time away from the kids and being with them.

I’m really interested to know what people think and what you do? Because I feel a bit guilty now maybe In looking at the housework all wrong? But for me personally I can’t sit with mess all around me it makes me feel suffocated.

No understanding

I was at a soft play with my 20 month old son today and there was a sand pit area.
My son was really excited and after a few minutes of being there he picked up some sand and threw it into the air. Unfortunately some landed on a boy playing next to him so I told him that we don't throw sand and took him out of the sand pit.
I apologised to who I think was the boy's grandma and she just shook her head angrily. I understand that sand can get in eyes and children need to eventually learn that we shouldn't throw it but I feel like some people show no understanding or kindness when its a toddler who clearly didn't mean to hurt anyone.
It also crossed my mind that the woman might be racist as my son isn't white and she was already giving off a bad energy.

If you saw another child pushing your child and the mum wasnt doing anything what would you do?

This is in the playground

Should I be annoyed?? Husband rant!

I've broken two fingers in my dominant hand. I can just about eat with my left hand and that's it. My fingers are strapped up and I'm in a lot of pain.

First thing my husband said was "you're still doing the housework tomorrow" I said thank you for being so caring and considerate.

Anyway I came home and he had done most of the housework but still left me to do the upstairs. Cleaning bathrooms, hoovering, dusting etc. It's taken me three hours as I had to stop and start due to the pain and my husband still managed to make snide remarks about the quality of my cleaning and how long it was taking..

Am I overthinking this?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over a month now, he’s not my baby’s father but he’s been very supportive of me and my pregnancy. When we first started talking and dating we would spend a good amount of time talking on the phone, to be more precise about 6-8hrs on the phone. Now after meeting in person for the first time we will maybe spend about an hour to two hours on the phone before he has to go to bed for work. When he has free time in the day he uses it to take naps after work or spend time gaming with his friend because they also live far away and he’s trying to maintain his friendships with them. Other times it’s time with his coworkers who he’s made friends with, and then once that’s done he’ll be home normally by 8-9pm and depending on what happens he’ll play video games on his own or clean. By 11pm he’ll have time for me and will let me know he’s going to call. We do text throughout the day but because he’s normally busy with something it’s kind of sparse and or more spaced out. I’ve brought up before how I would love to occupy more of his time if possible but nothing really changed and I was left feeling like I’m just begging for his attention when he doesn’t really have time for me anymore. Which he said wasn’t the case he’s just bad at accommodating me into his day now because he’s just doing what he normally would be doing if he was single.

What does rhis look like?

My child has been at a nursery and has higher care needs than some of the children in there and is non verbal and 3 and a half years old. She isn't agressive and screams when people go too close to her alot in general. Never had any issues with nursrery and all the staff have always been great. Then twins started a few days ago and never thought much of it on day one she screamed when one come near her on pick up. The same day she had an unusual two very small rounded bruises on the top of her foot. Then today the staff said a boy scratched her and they had to move him away. I was very calm and fine as it was made to sound minor like more over excited and more like an accident in that type of way. I come home shes crying alot so i start running a bath as she loves water and waterplay put all the toys in and I see this mark on her. I'm not sure what it is but its more than a little scratch. I'm actually really upset as this must have really hurt her and she cant explain whats happened. It's actually made me scared now. I understand accidents happen and staff cant be at every child all at once but this is horrible. I also dont want to cause problems with the nursery as they have honestly bren so good with her. Also my younger child due to start there september and she has additional needs in a different way but cant talk and more physical/muscle and swallowing problems. What does it look like? A bite? An object ? What would you do next?
