Does anyone have pitty training tips for an 18 month old boy. Everything I've read has said let them run without a diaper but we have carpets

Put doggy pee pads around the areas they will be at. It’s hard but the first time they go and sit on their own it’ll click. That’s the exact thing I did. After three days they start getting excited. Try and make it fun for them and for you💕

We have mostly hard floors, we gave rugs in places, we also have dogs. I vote for dog pee cleaner for clean ups on the carpets.

With my nieces we put underwear under the diaper so it stayed wet and uncomfortable and no mess for us! Really emphasized the “special big kid underwear” They only peed a couple times before they realized they didn’t like the feeling. Might work for a boy too?? If you wanna go the naked route… it’s still warm out I’d be outside as much as possible! (If you have a private yard)
Hi Mamas, I am switching from working mom life to SAHM life this fall. Specifically it will be at the end of October. My son is 17 months now and will be 19 months when I am fully stay-at-home parenting.
Picture shared of my little guy trying on sunglasses as tax :)
1. What unexpected advice would you give me for this period now while I am still employed?
2. How would you handle the daycare to stay at home switch for my son's sake? 1 week of 3-4 days at day care, 1 week of 1-2 days, and then done? Slower transition?
3. On the scale of super regimented routine to absolute chaos, each day is different -- where are you? Is it by choice? What works and doesn't work with that style? Some moms swear by chaos and others swear by routine.
4. For moms who have made the switch when their little one was between 1 and 2, please tell me all the good, bad, and ugly about the switch.
5. We have a zoo pass and a museum pass (both gifts). What other kid friendly passes do you recommend?
6. What is the financial life saver trick that you swear by as a SAHM?
7. If anyone wants to be my SAHM mentor, please message me... I'm excited but nervous!

Got the below text from my babysitter. We're trying to work on potty training, but what is the best way to handle this, without him having to wear long pants since we live in Florida and it's HOT down here! He's 26 months and I also have a 7 month old that she watches during the day

I didn’t mean to, it was on impulse and I feel terrible. I was trying to change her diaper and she was thrashing and kicking me. Next thing I knew, I smacked her bare butt. She’s 20 months old and I know the behaviors that have been irritating me are normal for her age. I’ve had such a short fuse and been short on patience this last week and I don’t know how to fix it. I’m looking for any advice. I don’t want to treat her this way or be this kind of mom.

I’m sorry to be annoying but I just don’t understand childcare tax free account on the gov website. My boy is due to start nursery next week and I’d like to take advantage of the tax free but I just don’t understand it.
Could someone please spare some time to explain it to me please?
Thank you

Does anyone else feel like they’re just not the mum they thought they’d be?
I feel like I took getting pregnant so seriously, I knew I’d have to be patient and caring etc etc. I thought I absolutely can be those things and I’m ready to do it!
And I think really I am patient and caring and 9/10 I’d do the right thing and help people, but being a mum and there not being a choice of whether to care and be patient and instead having to be these things allllll the time just does my head in! It’s just exhausting to care all the time but I don’t feel like I can let up because what if i fuck him up?!
I’m 6 months in and I just find myself bored of trying to entertain the baby all the time, but if I don’t he just screams and cries and I just feel my patience massively dwindling - I’m just a bit disappointed in myself for acting/feeling this way 😫 I thought I’d take to it a bit more naturally!

I am feeling like such a terrible mom. My girl is extremely fussy, wont stay down much for a nap & isn’t eating normal. Yesterday she was up for 4 hours tried a car ride, contact nap, swing nap, bassinet snoo nothing worked! Its been a couple days & I feel helpless. I never went through this with my first- he was happy so much as I was holding him. I’m in such a panic state.
