We started introducing pottying as part of routine today

14 month old started potty training as part of daily routine (not official training yet). Potty when you wake up, potty before leaving the house, potty after nap etc.
She woke up from her nap, I sat her on the potty and she peed! Huge celebration was had.

Food

Not here to be judged please. Looking for advice.

I’m an over feeder, no matter who it is I will always provide more than enough food on everyone’s plate. I’d rather people have more than enough than not enough 🤷🏻‍♀️

My question is, how do you know when your baby has had enough food? I feel like my 13 month old would keep eating and keep eating and keep eating if I never stopped…

Just worried he could be eating too much. He has 2 bottles of cows milk per day, breakfast and before bed.

Am I crazy for feeling guilty about this?

I took my babies to a fun fair by myself
my 3 year old and my 14 month old. We went on one of the baby friendly rides, those little race cars that spins around and you sit inside.

When the ride stopped, I literally got stuck and couldn’t get up. I had my daughter in one arm, and my son couldn’t get out because we were blocking the way. There was only one guy who was working there he came over to help, so I handed him my daughter while I tried to get myself up. He was completely respectful and gave her straight back to me as soon as I was standing.

But now that I’m looking back, I can’t believe I did that 😭 I never let strangers touch my children, let alone hand my child to a man I don’t know. I was just so caught up in the moment and trying to get us all out safely.

Am I overreacting, or would you have felt the same way afterwards? 😭

behavior issues at school

My son who is 5 just started kindergarten. We are in week two and today he had a bad day. He didn’t listen at all. teacher looked worn out when I picked him up.

I also found out he was getting into a little girls face today and just being a bully and I’m worried.

Normally his conduct is good, the occasional days of not listening and talking out of term, but the bullying really startled me since it was a girl.

I know with other boys in his preschool they would rough house but I’m just worried it will escalate if I don’t kick the habit now

He is in a private school so this is considered in incident.

I talked to my son, took away the tv and iPad for today and hopes that we will have a better day tomorrow.

What should I do?

Question for When both parents are home are you both equally responsible for the children you share together?

My son has pica (eats thinks that aren’t food) and my bf (who is also his dad) blames me for when our sons eats dirt or a rose or something in the backyard, we have 2 other younger children that I’ll be tending to or finally getting self care for the day/week and he comes yelling at me because our son did that even when he’s asked to watch them for 10-20 mins. Is the responsibility always going to fall on me? I can’t be everywhere at once…. He called me today and said “u better watch it” kept saying “yeah” then hung up before I could even say anything over this same conversation even tho this has happened 2-3 times max on his watch

Am I over reacting?

My partner (26 M) has a job where he does 2 early morning shifts 2 late night shifts and then 2 night shifts. Followed then by 4 days off. Which means I care for our baby by myself through the duration of the 6 working days. He may do the odd bottle or nappy change but this is quite rare. On his days off he refuses to do anything, again maybe the odd bottle etc. I’ve told him I feel so burned out and he just carries on just the same with no acknowledgement of my words.

He doesn’t clean, tidy nor cooks. And we still go 50:50 on all the bills.

Before I totally errupt on him am I over reacting should I say something? I don’t know what to do anymore.

Thank ladies :)

Husband says he doesn’t enjoy being a parent at all..

Has anyone else’s baby daddy said this or just mine? LO is 20 months btw and he won’t talk to anyone about it friends or professional! Already tried.. what do I do about this?
