My almost 4 year old daughter is potty trained but still wears a pull-up at night. Is anyone in the same boat and have you thought about stopping soon? I know a lot of kids have bed wetting accidents for the upcoming ages past four and obviously, we could reduce water consumption in the evening, but have you switched to undies at night and what has your experience been like yet?
Thanks!

Same position as you! 😂 Eager to see what the comments are gonna say. I have a thought to just wait like maybe the night after her fourth birthday because we always hit a major milestone around each of the birthdays fingers crossed nighttime potty training is gonna be this milestone.😅ðŸ˜

Same here! But still trying to get to poop on the potty. Still sometimes has accidents before bedtime during the day but mostly dry all day. Ugh!!

My 4 yr old has been potty trained since she was 2. Still largely wets her pull up at night

My son stopped pull ups when he was 2. We ran out so we just stopped using them at night. He just wears pjs at night

I don’t have a four year old, but I did pick up washable pee pads off Amazon. I’m planing to try layering the pads between multiple sheets and getting the kiddo up once at night to go pee until their body gets used to trying to stay dry.

We are in underwear at night. The biggest thing is we have to sit on the potty as soon as the kid wakes up. Like straight to the potty when the eyes open no other stops. The other thing is we potty right after brushing teeth right before getting into bed. Also we potty if she wakes up at night. We have only had a few accidents this way. I do use a waterproof mattress cover so it is no big deal if an accident happens.
I know this is a common "issue" after having kids but I'm struggling and my husband has opened up to me few times about it after having our second ( almost 1.5yrs old). He says he hates having to ask and he hates my reluctance when we are intimate. We currently have sex once a week and he asks every 2-3 days. I'm a stay at home mom and I am with our 2 children 24/7. They have never been watched by another person. My 1.5yr old wakes throughout the night still and has really rough nights when he's teething. I'm touched out, exhausted, and feel like im losing myself. I love my husband to death but I have a hard time being affectionate and ive always struggled with this.
He works 5 days a week, sometimes less if the weather is bad as he does manual labor outdoors. Because he works, I have a hard time asking him for help at home. I feel really guilty. As a result, I have mental breakdowns occasionally.
I do the laundry, dishes, cleaning, and most meals.
He does dinner a couple times a week, and baths once a week to every other week.
I moved with him to his home state so I have no friends or family (besides his). I am home all week, every week as we only have 1 vehicle which he takes to work. We do grocery shopping on the weekends as a family which is the only time I get away from the house. I also have to admit that he has started back up on some old habits that turn me off, so im struggling to want to initiate because of that.
I know I need more breaks and to leave the house more but does anyone have any other advice to help improve that area of concern?

My husband 'accidentally' binned and washed my sourdough starter. I can't believe it was an accident because its nearly a year old, it has literally been sitting in our kitchen for a year! He says I left it near the sink so he just assumed it was to get washed out. I had just baked this morning and had left it near the sink, but not at the sink if that makes sense. We have a designated area that dishes usually get left before they get cleaned and it was nowhere near there.
Also he claims he didn't know what it was. He has seen me make bread a billion times. He has eaten the bread a billion times. It had been sitting on the kitchen counter for a year! 🥴 I said to him he should have asked if he wasn't sure instead of just assuming I wanted to get rid of it, but his excuse is he didn't know I was using it/or what it was and I hadn't even thanked him for cleaning up after me. I was going to clean up, but we had two children who I was also tending to at the same time.
I know I can make another one but it's just annoying, I was proud of myself for keeping it this long and it was a really great starter. I also feel like he's done it on purpose because we have been arguing a lot lately about who does what in the house. We both work, but I WFH part time so it seems to him that I'm just home all the time doing 'nothing'. We have a 1yo and a 4yo, 4yo goes to nursery in the mornings and 1yo goes to granny's, I work 4hrs every morning and then I pick up both kids and have them for the rest of the day. I do all the meals, all the cleaning, all the laundry, all the extracurricular activities, all the shopping, manage our bills. My husband works full time 9-5, comes home, he helps with bath time and bedtime and acts as if he's done it all. It drives me insane.

So my partner used to work in a bar. But he quit because of me. Months later he just text me sayin his boss text him sayin they are short staffed and could he do a one off this weekend. I said I was not happy at all about this. As I know it will just be full of drunk girls flirting. What do I do??

I just had an occupational therapy home visit and the lady watched how she was for an hour and a bit n she jist keot saying how risky her behaviour is, shows no understanding, breaks out of everything and climbs everything and strong and agressive and she suggested if i need a cuppa tea or I want to take 5 mims without being attacked, jumped on or being there with her with my arms out ready to catvh her next impulse or injury then i should. She said even put her in it to watch tv whilst you do what ever ypu need to do. She has a condition that means her walking outside isnt good and flares up and she can get stiff but other than that she is the most hyperactive, strongest most impulsive child that cannot stay still, engage in any play or calm down at all she is destructive and agressive and thats ehy it was said. What would you do? Right now she is like it from 6am until 9pm and throughout the night too.she also has a safety bed she can escape. She has no speech and no understanding like 0
