I get my girl to use the toilet/potty when changing her. We also ask through the day if she wants a wee. When we are out she asks to go for a wee but at home she forgets lol x

I got told to start putting underwear on mine because apparently they won't like the feeling of being wet but mine didn't care about running around wet but maybe a tactic to tryš
I just ended up letting mine run around with no nappy or pants and caught him starting to pee and put him on the potty so he could finish it off. Gave him loads of praise and high fives and a white choc button (hes never been allowed chocolate or anything so thought this is the perfect special snack) and it's worked a dream. Still very much in the beginning stages of training and each day is like starting from scratch but once he does it the once, he's got it sussed for the day then š
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 changesāsometimes itās *Bluey*, sometimes *Zog*...Iām not too happy about this, but I donāt know if itās common for schools to use cartoons for various reasons. I wouldnāt want to be the only mom complaining š

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 donāt 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 couldnāt 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 couldnāt. I broke down. I cried I tried to call my sister but she was hanging out with my aunt and couldnāt 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 canāt keep doing this alone. But then everybody needs me to help them but when I need help nothing. Itās frustrating but I have to because at the end of the day other than my daughter nobody cares about me. And thatās sad. But I just have to keep pushing through.

Hi people. I canāt stand my man since having my baby. He has nowhere near met my expectations of how he should help and trust me, Iām not too demanding. Heās not changed one nappy, one outfit, doesnāt 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 heās 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 donāt even want to stay faithful. I know I should just leave but my baby is so young and I really didnāt want this for myself. Itās a hard pill to swallow that this is my current situationā¦

Hi everyone! My little boy is 8 and half months old, we have been trying to wean him since 6 months but he is still not that interested, he doesnāt like purĆ©es as he wonāt open his mouth for a spoon, and if I give him the spoon he uses his other hand to scrap the food off. We are mainly doing BLW which he will happily put the food in his mouth, but if he gets any in his mouth, he will gag and spit it out. Anyone having anything similar? He is still having breastmilk as I know their nutrition all still comes from their milk until they are 1, Iām just worried he is taking a long time to grasp the concept of swallowing food
