We have just potty trained our daughter, just keep normalising sitting on the potty. I bought some reward charts and stickers from home bargains / Morrisons and initially she got a sticker for sitting on the potty for 20 seconds and eventually we started catching pees on it, then the stickers became rewards for doing a pee. I really do swear that they will potty train when they’re ready and there’s only so much you can rush, it needs to click in their head xx

You could give her a book for her to look at. Just to relax her. You could also try some potty games/ songs. My favourite is, when going to the potty say “all aboard the wee wee train, choo, choo” and when on the potty say “can you hear the wee wee” and get them to listen for the sound then big praise when it happens.

Most obvious and sorry to say but just keep doing it ngl I stick my son on his potty in front of the tv atm it works for me
11 day old newborn&2 year old. Recovering from c section.
Am i crazy for sending my cousins away after they showed up at 10am expecting to be let in my house ?
They don’t know what kind of night we had , we could’ve been at a doctors appointment, mind you , anyone else that has come to visit us, has either texts or called to see when would be best. Like normal people.
Not even an hour before they showed up , I just got my husband to sleep after taking care of me all night, who brought our toddler to nap with him because he was also up. I just got my newborn down and quiet in her crib , which almost never happens. And I ran to the store to grab bandages for myself because my c section scar is ripping open. I planned on coming home to shower and rebandage and sleep too. Came home to find them in my driveway. I sent them home (balling my eyes out) , and now I’m once again the crazy person being talked about in my family. …
Please tell me if I was wrong.

My daughter started Reception this September, and it seems like they watch one or two cartoons every day. One is usually *Numberblocks*, but the other changes—sometimes it’s *Bluey*, sometimes *Zog*...I’m not too happy about this, but I don’t know if it’s common for schools to use cartoons for various reasons. I wouldn’t want to be the only mom complaining 😅

I have a daughter who will be 2 in December and I have been holding it together this whole time well yesterday I cracked. I needed to go to the dmv I asked my partner if he could take me so he could help with our daughter. I don’t have a car but he does. I never ask him to get me anywhere I figure it out and this is why. He comes in that morning and says oh about the dmv I was thinking you could just uber. Ok fine but I needed help with the baby but whatever. It was a nightmare she was screaming bloody murder nothing would calm her down. Everyone in there is irritated with me. I couldn’t navigate the stroller in the lines because they were really narrow. I could calm her down I tried everything. I walked out the door and I can usually just push through and I just cry at night but I couldn’t. I broke down. I cried I tried to call my sister but she was hanging out with my aunt and couldn’t talk. I had nobody else to call and she is still just crying. It took me close to an hour to calm her down. I told my partner and he was just like yeah last time I went to the DMV this guy behind me was getting on my nerves. I just can’t keep doing this alone. But then everybody needs me to help them but when I need help nothing. It’s frustrating but I have to because at the end of the day other than my daughter nobody cares about me. And that’s sad. But I just have to keep pushing through.

Hi people. I can’t stand my man since having my baby. He has nowhere near met my expectations of how he should help and trust me, I’m not too demanding. He’s not changed one nappy, one outfit, doesn’t wake up for night feeds. All I ask is when its early morning close to time he gets up for work to just give a fricking bottle and let me catch up on sleep and he says he’s got work. He is a provider and chooses to work his second job on weekends so we basically have a day a week as a family. I literally hate this man now, have NO desire to have sex and don’t even want to stay faithful. I know I should just leave but my baby is so young and I really didn’t want this for myself. It’s a hard pill to swallow that this is my current situation…
