Prek potty train issue with teachers

My toddler has two teachers and one of them told me my girl has been holding in her pee,but at home she tells me she has to pee. She did just stsrt the prek, so am sure she is not comfortable yet,but i can't help,but to worry. I think they stress her with her potty training. At home I do every hour, or she does her wiggle dance and I ask her. She will shyly say yes. I don't stress walking to her potty and will ask her questions that help the process. She sometimes stay in her potty longer with me cause I tell her listen to ur body. She will listen to her body cause even when I say time up she will say no almost and would do pee or poo. She does not tell her teachers when she has to go potty. I was told they make her go every 30 minutes and one of the teachers am sorry use a really mean tone that I feel is making it harder for her to feel comfortable. The teacher told me to keep working with her,but am like she does great with me. She even tells her aunt when she has to use the potty so am like. Idk what to say. How should I approach this. My girl loves going to prek, I want to help my girl and how do I communicate it to her teacher?

Does you girl pee in the school on the floor? Is that why they are complaining? If she does well with you tell them what they need to do to continue the same structure for your daughter. And not confuse her and force her to sit every 30 min if there's no need for it. Dont let them talk down to you. Talk to them with authority. Ask you daughter how she feels about the teachers.

She did pee on the carpet and a couple of times in the playground. I will message them today, cause I wanted to talk to my husband's grandma, she use to work in the same building and she also feels they are stressing her out. I will ask my girl.

When my daughter was started potty training and she was fine at home, but I still was giving her training diapers at school for a few weeks until she was fully confident and refuses diapers.

I work with pre-k. It used to be a requirement that children be potty trained, but that went away. Putting her on the Potty every 30 minutes when she isn’t verbalizing when she has to go and to prevent accidents isn’t exactly out of practice. Her being great at home doesn’t help her habits at school. Depending on the frequency of habits i would suggest pull ups until she is comfortable.

I would do pull ups,but they were the once who said undies. Like I said my husband grandma use to also work at a prek and feels thier making it difficult. I told them already how we do it at home. The words and signs we use. I started the potty training before she started prek too.i do plan to talk to them again and to my girl.

Husband omitted he was havibg drinks with Co workers after work

Hi guys! Just need advice. This has just been bugging and I have a weird feeling about what happened.

My husband usually tells me if he has lunch at work or some activities at work. But this time, he only said he'll be home late. He did not say he went out with co workers or anything relating to it.

When he got home, he usually talks about what happened at work etc. But last night he did not say anything.

So he did not eat a lot of dinner last night when he arrived. I asked him the next day. Why did he go home late last night. He just said he was drinking with his co workers. Then expanded nervously that his coworker is moving to a different job hence they went out.

There's so many things going on in my mind right now. And i feel a sick to stomach thinking I don't trust him anymore. Anything he will say will probably be a lie. I just can't do this. I feel like leaving him cause I just can't live with nit trusting my husband. The sad thing is I have 2 kids and i dont know what to do.

Idk if I’m exaggerating

I’ve always loved the holidays!
When I met my partner he didn’t care about holidays and decorations. Since we moved in together 6 years ago he started loving it which I’m glad he does now. But this years he’s getting on my nerves about the holidays. We moved to smaller place, we don’t have storage like the previous apartment. He’s been wanting to decorate since the beginning of the month, I tell him to wait for summer to be almost over and he says I suck. He’s been buying so many decoration and changing almost everything around the apartment, he came home with 3 packages today and bought a cover for our electric stove (yes is pretty, but all I’m thinking about is I will have more stuffs to clean). Tbh I feel like he’s killing the vibe for me, I don’t feel excited about decorating when he’s pressuring and buying lots of stuffs. If I tell him how I feel he’ll get mad, say I suck and say I’m killing the vibe for him so I just stay quiet.

Am I wrong?

BD has taken our 7 month old away for 2 nights and 3 days so that he can spend time with his family.
Baby has never been away from me for longer than 4 hours.
I asked if they could go for 1 long day rather than that lomg as it seemed excessive but once again there's never any compromise.

Daycare mama

I start work on Monday and my daughter will be in day care, they said I can call to check in anytime, does anyone else do this? I will probably be calling 3 times (around when baby should be done eating) or is that too much. Just an anxious mom here 🙃

Emotional neglect in marriage

Nothing serious but I just feel my husband isn’t there for me anymore on an emotional level. We just had our 3rd baby but I went through a lot as she was in intensive care for a few weeks she nearly died, then following that I needed to care for her at home without any help. My mum is also currently going through cancer treatment having chemotherapy and soon a stem cell transplant so she hasn’t been able to be there for me as much as she would have (I know I sound selfish but I’ve needed my mum because of what I’ve been through plus just the juggle of 3 children). Anyway my husband doesn’t seem to want to make time for me or show me any kind of love and I wish that he would because I’m going through stuff. Instead he keeps saying that he’s been through a lot because he lost his job and was looking for a new job. He does have a new job now and makes time to go to the gym nearly everyday so if he has time for that surely he’s not as stressed as me? He manages to unwind every evening and have a drink whereas I’m too exhausted to do that. He hasn’t done anything wrong but he’s just not there for me and keeps using excuses that he’s always busy with work etc. Am I being too over sensitive? My self care is just managing to wash my hair when I can and I put a bit of make up on. I think I’ve just been through so much and wish I had a close bond with my husband. Plus he’s always there for his mum and dad whatever they want he does for them at the drop of a hat plus they’re here every Friday night without fail and don’t leave until 10.30pm. I’m struggling with my emotions and just need cheering up or to know I’m not going mad! X
