Potty Training
Is anyone else's 3yr old still not potty trained?
My boy has been in his pants on a couple of occasions when at home, and has been good with going for wees on the toilet when I remind him, but he is doing his no.2s in his pants, which is obviously very messy.
He is still heavily reliant on nappies and I think it's more of a "me" problem, in that I don't give him enough nappy free time at home for him to learn. I've not taken him out of the house in just his pants.
It's really difficult as we have an older child and we are always running around after them with school and clubs, that we struggle to find decent time to potty train our youngest.
I know we need to just crack it -- he's at nursery 4 times a week all day, so my only option is to potty train at home.

Still not potty trained here š and pregnant again so absolutely exhausted to my core. He will happily just wet himself and couldnāt care less šµāš«
my little boy is 3 in November and hes not potty training although he does have a speach delay he just dosnt seem to be getting potty training at all. they are all so different.
My daughter isnāt either! Theyāve started doing it at her childcare as they lead by example so Iām so hopeful she has more interest there than she does at home.

Whoās in the wrong?
Adults keep a firearm hidden in there dresser. Kid knows thereās a firearm in there, adults tell him to not touch it. Kid still grabs firearm. Adults scold the kid for disobeying.
WHO SCOLDS THE ADULTS???
Donāt have firearms unless youāre taking the proper precautions!!!!!!!
Fucking dumb fucks.

I feel broken
My BD came in the room while I was at work (I work at home) today and said heās going to his friends house to get some weed. I didnāt think anything of it. I got off and notice he still wasnāt back. It was like 2.5 hrs later. Something told me to call him and he didnāt answer. I called him like 2-3 more times. He still didnāt. Which is weird. Something else told me to check his call log. I looked up some of the numbers from the last few days and they were connected to prostitutes. I was sick! I was so mad. These were from Tuesday! Then when he came back something told me to look again and it updated to more recent calls and there was one right after he left the house. I felt so sick to my stomach! Like Jesus. If you want to do that be alone and donāt endanger my health! He then got mad when I brought it to him and fought my 18 yr old son and I. I have the biggest headache and donāt even want to tell anyone I know so Iām venting here.

Online School until your child is older?
Hey guys! Had a thought wanted to see what you all thought. So I have a 4 year old boy. Iām sure for the moms that choose to wait are getting the same comments. People ask me when or why my son isnāt in pre school. I get tired of explaining that either the schedule doesnāt work for us for free pre K. (I live in California, USA) And the fact that I also feel like my son is emotionally and physically okay and doesnāt need pre k as he is mentally and emotionally at his developmental stages.
Outside of that more and more if you stop to think public and even some semi private/charter they are just not made for a single and a double parent working house hold. Thereās no way you can drop your kid off at school get to work on time and not get in trouble for being late to one or the other.
Iām kind of considering online school with course work while my son is still small. Then maybe when heās older let him enroll in public school when he can go to school and go home. It would be great since I wouldnāt have to deal with planning family trips and being able to go on vacations would be excellent. It does occur to me though that my son may feel like he doesnāt have friends though. I would also need to find a good online school that doesnāt cost much if I do have to pay out of pocket. I wanted to know what you all think though.

Lost my shirt and had a meltdown
Today started out completely fine, and then somehow I just completely snapped. My 12-month-old refused to nap for TWO HOURS, and I was with her the entire time. Eventually I gave up trying to get her to sleep and just lay there exhausted while she climbed all over me. My husband still wasnāt home from work, and when he finally got home, I left without even saying goodbye because I desperately needed to get out for a minute. I went to get fast food, thinking Iād come back and we could all eat together. I was gone maybe 30 minutes, and when I came back, my husband had gotten her to sleep on his chest, but he hadnāt changed her diaper, made dinner, or really done anything else. I know he got her to sleep, but in that moment I just felt like, āSo Iām still responsible for everything?ā
And I completely lost it. I yelled in front of my baby, and I feel awful about that. Iām with her basically every second of every day, and I feel like I never get to be alone or completely āoff.ā Afterward I ended up binge-eating and drank almost half a gallon of tea, and now my stomach hurts terribly. Iām honestly embarrassed by the whole thing because just this morning everything was fine. I donāt even know what happened to me, it felt like I suddenly hit a wall and had absolutely nothing left. I feel terribly guilty because my baby isnāt even a difficult one, the main problem is that I donāt have a village whatsoever.
Has anyone else ever had a day where you went from feeling completely fine to just being done? What did it look like for you?

Teething
My 11 week old has been very unsettled this week crying and screaming. Sheās very rosy cheeked, chewing her hands constantly until theyāre red and this is her mouth, the little white spot on the left. Could she be teething? Iām a first time mum in the trenches right now š©

How do you get your spouse to help with chores?
My partner has never been great with helping around the house. But before LO arrived, he at least did some things unprompted but now that's out the window. Plus everything is messier in general having a baby around!
Nowadays I think he doesn't know how to balance his time between working, watching little one to give me a break or do house bits, having his gaming time to relax, and doing his fair share of chores.
No judgment please - I don't even care about having to make a list but that hasn't been working as he isn't doing it often enough, just "when he remembers" or he doesn't think its to a standard that needs doing yet.
Has anyone used any apps that help/ the 20 minute rule/ a chores chart and what it includes or looks like.
I just want to stop having the same argument over and over, its exhausting!
