After so many attempts i managed to finally get some progress toilet training my LG over the summer, she had the odd accident, when we went out and she was out playing having fun she still.went weather i took her or she asked, she started pre school last Wednesday and she's having nothing but accidents tot he point today when I picked her up they said she's not getting it, her nursery said this the last time we tried thats why we stopped and took a break, but I feel so emotionally defeated cos she fine at home and when we go out so im at a loss what to do, they want to put her on a care plan like she has some sort of learning disability but I dont know why she's just gone so far backwards.
Any advice or suggestions? Anyone else gone through this and ended up ok?

Do not give up or stop. It is completely normal for them to have a huge regression when starting something new or going through big changes. We potty trained our June 2023 daughter (child #3 of 4) and over the summer we house and she's now started at a new preschool and she isn't asking to go to the toilet at all. She'll go when told to go but always has wet knickers (mostly just a small drip but often more). She isn't having full accidents but has definitely gone backwards and it isn't the first time.
We also had regressions with our older girls and #2 was particularly bad at her preschool and it also took ages to get her dry at night. She's now 6 and finally reliable.
I promise she will get there, just keep going. Ask the preschool to take her to the toilet every hour. And try not to get irritated if she has an accident, ask her to help get her clean knickers on so she's involved in sorting it all out. Huge praise when she does go on the potty/toilet.
Hold in there, it does get easier!

The nursery sounds a bit odd about it tbh. My girl was potty trained in toddler room which I now know was much better as there was less hectic atmosphere and less kids. But she was having accidents all the time and they literally just take them to toilet all the time to prevent accidents happening. Often they forget etc. Even now she goes to Saturday school and they take kids to toilet as a group several times during 3 hour session and ask extra times.
So my partner brother and family are flying back to Poland for Christmas
My partner is wanting to go too for Christmas and he has said heās going with or without me (I have no annual leave left and I donāt want to be away from my son for a week)
We went to Poland this summer and there was about 10 people in one house my son stopped eating and just cried the whole time we was there & I have raised these concerns and all I get is āIām going with or without youā
Iām prepared to end my 9 year relationship with him if he does take him away when I have raised my concerns and said no heās not going
I have said he can go before or after Christmas I just donāt want him going during Christmas my fav time of year and he knows I do all the bdays and Christmas plan it all out do all the presents get everything ready
It will honestly break me if he takes him
His mum and dad was over while my son was 4 weeks oldā¦ā¦phones multiple times couldnāt get hold of him & he was gone for about 5/6hrs when he said he would he 1 - yes heās apologised for this but he still did it
I donāt know what I can doš„²

My 42 year old husband went out last night for his friends 40th. Its now almost midday and not only is he not home, but hasn't even contacted me. Im 6 months pregnant and we have a 3 year old. He goes over to that friends every friday night fot a few drinks and stays until usually 2. A couple times hes come home at 630 but never this late. Never apologises. But this feels like blatant disrespect. Im starting to suspect cheating too... what do you guys think?

I feel like i can't tell my husband no. I can tell him I don't want to but for some reason it always keeps going and eventually I give up and try to enjoy it as much as i can. Hes not a bad guy but I have a really hard time resisting him when it comes to it. The problem is I am only 25 days postpartum and we've had sex 3 times already. I know my body isn't ready and I've told him as much. All he does is tell me he'll be gentle. Anyways he finished inside yesterday and I have been a nervous wreck. I am not on birth control yet since i haven'tbeen to my 6 week appointment yet. I got pregnant with our current newborn while breastfeeding and not even having 1 period after our toddler. This most recent pregnancy was very hard on me physically and our newborn is dealing with health issues. I am so scared to get pregnant again. I know its not likely that ive ovulated yet since I am breastfeeding still and haven't stopped my postpartum bleeding yet, but i am still stressing out.

These past 3 days especially today. Have been hard. I really need someone thatās not my mom to talk to right now.
My husband has been mad at me for 3 days now. And I donāt know why. I asked and apologized for things I thought it would be.
Today my son hit his face really hard on a table leg. Call doc they said he fine. Iām still going to go see a doc tomorrow just in case. But nothing I do or that has been said to me helping me claim down. My husband will not talk to me about it. And I know once he see it he only going to get more upset with me. I just need a hug and someone to talk to me. Iām a mess right now. And Iām worried like crazy about my baby.

My youngest has just turned 2 and will NOT eat vegetables. Its always been a thing, I swear if left to it he would just be a carnivore. Ive been sticking to the whole "dont pressure, just make it available, eventually after picking it up and playing with it they'll eat it" for... what feels like forever. He just won't. He picks it up, happily plays with it, squashes it but wont put it in his mouth. Try and sneak it onto a spoon with his other food and he simply moves it around in his mouth and spits out the veggie. The one thing i could get him to have, baked beans, has now wholly been rejected too. I never had this issue with my eldest, he isnt exactly easy with food either but veggies are mostly okay. Ive resorted to giving them vitamins after meal time because im so worried about what my youngest is actually getting in his diet and what affect that may be having.
Please help š im pulling my hair out with this

Iām close to receiving an offer for a full-time remote position and would love to hear from anyone else working FT remotely. How do you organize your day? Do you have childcare, and if so, how much? Any tips for making it sustainable?
My sonās naps and sleep schedule have become very predictable.. so Iām wondering if 2-3 hours a day of childcare would be enough help for me.
