Potty training

Just wanted to know everyone's options of which potty they have got? Following on from the previous post (not mine), I decided to get a potty for my little girl. I am looking on Amazon and I was going to get the Nuby Beginner's Potty Training Seat with Removable bowl but I haven't bought it yet because I wondered if it would be better to get a potty that looks like a toilet?? Thoughts please 🙏

We bought a toilet one but they are big and bulky and I thought I may need to grab it quickly at times during potty training. So have bought a standard one and when she’s older I will use the toilet one

Was this a reasonable reaction ?

I have the most lovely mother in law and we’ve always had positive experiences with one another. The other day I went over to her house around 8pm and I wanted to put LO to bed while we watched the football match. While I was doing this I was struggling abit my methods wasn’t working and I guess the different environment and chatter wasn’t helping her fall asleep. My mother in law kept repeating “she’s not tired she doesn’t wanna sleep” not in a bad way but it made me feel quite overwhelmed bc I knew what my baby needed and yes she was tired just couldn’t get to sleep. BEFORE this she was also making comments about my LO being hot and uncomfortable and I should change her out of her dress into something comfy (which I had already known and was in the process of doing)

The combination of repeatedly being told what to do and my baby being fussy was getting to me a little so I was getting very frustrated but out of respect I said nothing to her. My husband walked in and she immediately started telling him “the baby doesn’t want to sleep “. This pissed me off a lot and my husband couldn’t pick up on it until I discreetly told him to come outside and I explained my frustration and thankfully he understood so well (considering it was the first negative interaction I’ve had with his mum) and afterwards told his mum I’ve got it and to just let me be which I respected so much.

I’m wondering if I overreacted ?

How would you feel about this rejection

We’re out of town, came across an AMAZING bargain deal of someone rehoming a reptile in this vacation area that I’ve wanted FOR EVER and I’m head over heels at the opportunity and seriously cheap price. Everything included, just have to pick up at a later time tomorrow evening. Husband saw our texts before I even did and he shut it down without any info, didn’t change his mind on it no matter what I explained. He knows I’ve wanted this for so many years and that I’m an avid collector of this animal in statues and trinkets etc. Devastated he won’t change his mind just because he “doesn’t want it” even though he wouldn’t have to do anything for upkeep, just let me buy food and occasionally product. I feel like out of our current spending habits it’s not too much to ask since he buys new shoes and things for his motorcycle very often. I’m conflicted how upset I should be about this cause I know he’s actively stamping out my happiness with this purchase. Yeah, I can see that it’s unnecessary but isn’t that life? Can’t I enjoy it? 😞

On a scale of 1-10, how pissed would you be? Would you say something, and if so, what issues would you want to chat about

For the record, my husband is pretty hands on and a good dad. I work from home with our 11m old. I get 1.5hrs to go to the gym once a week during her and our toddler’s awake hours. Otherwise I go while they are sleeping.

Well, I get back from the gym today. My husband said “oh I accidentally put our 11m old down an hour early at 8:30a so I woke her after 5m”. Ffs she has had a 9:30a nap since she was 5 weeks old. I always leave her sleep sack on her change table. Instead, he has thrown a whole washing basket of CLEAN clothes across the laundry searching for her other one. Next, he broke the diaper bin (again) taking out the dirty bag so I had to fix it. Fast forward to this afternoon. I’m throwing the ball for our dog outside with our toddler. She goes inside to where my husband is with our 11m. I’m watching them through the door. Toddler appears to be hugging 11m old who then starts screaming. My toddler has bit her naked back right in front of husband. I’m fucking over it. Like, can I even leave them to go to the gym or outside alone?!!!

Wait..I'm not alone ?!

Are we all dealing with the same nonsense?! Why aren't people talking about how common this is?! I honestly thought I was alone and everyone else was just lucky to have him help. LOL these men folk I swear 😭😭😭
My situation is crazy like I can't believe it's real life.... This guy turned me into a FT SAHM...he goes to work (thankful, don't get me wrong) to a job I got him into........and then decides to go out after work EVERY NIGHT...while I'm home 24/7 with our kids. Losing. My. Mind.

Potty training advice?

My son is 2 in September, I bought 2 potties since he just turned 1 to get him used to seeing it and sitting. He will sit on it with a nappy on but when he doesn’t have one on will literally stay clear from it, and he knows we have wee wee’s and poo poo’s on the potty, but a couple times now he will sit on potty then stand up and wee on the floor. He tells me when he has done a wee or poo after, which I know is good but never before. I’m guessing the time will come when he wants, he starts nursery in January 2027 so he will be 2 and half by then, I’m guessing I will re introduce it again soon after he turns two or something. Any advice if your little is/ was the same kinda, thanks? X
