Potty Training

What helped your child the most when it came to potty-training?

My son just turned 2 yesterday, and I don't believe he's ready for potty training yet. But we are thinking about trying for our 2nd, and if possible, I'd love for my son to be potty trained by the time our 2nd child is born. If we can help it, I don't want to stretch out the process. Are there things I can do to prepare my son so that he's familiar with concepts by the time he is ready, to minimize stress for everyone?

Need to vent

Sorry for the rant but I need to get it off my chest to people who hopefully understand my point of view.

My husband works a Mon-Fri job 7.30am- 5.00pm. This week has been their stock take so he's stayed behind Tues, Wed, Fri and worked Saturday. I've got a growth scan booked for Tuesday next week and I've asked him 3 times to come and he says he can't get time off work. And just for context he is the manager at his work.

Am I being unreasonable in thinking he should spare 2 hours to come to the hospital with me?

From my point of view, what if I have the scan and something is wrong? Then I'm by myself and he's over an hour away from the hospital.

Or do I just need to suck it up and go by myself.

Can 11 month old have this? Says on back 3+ didn’t realise

Blowjob Help!

The title says it all... I need help with my blow job skills! I absolutely suck at sucking. My husband doesn't complain but he also hasn't actively asked for one since we were dating. I know my entire adult life I haven't been good at them but I feel like I want to be better. How did y'all learn? Do y'all have any suggestions? They make me feel incredibly powerful and sexy but it hurts sometimes that he doesn't want one. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones that have me all twisted but I am desperate. Any advice would be amazing!

Potty training

Hey guys I have a 3 years and 9 months old daughter and she is potty trained but yet she only wants to poop in her diaper. I am so frustrated and don’t know what to do. If I won’t put the diaper on she won’t poop for a day or two. I feel like a bad mother.

Any tips please

How often is your partner with you and the baby/helping?

I have a question so my daughter just turned a year-old, my husband is constantly at work. He works approximately 12 hours a day five days a week and spends about eight hours out of the house every weekend doing miscellaneous tasks for work and hangs out with friends. I wanted to see if anyone else deals with this? I don’t have really much help at all with my daughter aside from my husband and every now and then other people and I wanted to see if it was just me and if this is too much to bear? It’s definitely a handful and I really feel like I’m alone, but I’m not sure if I’m just being a baby about this or what but I see a lot of other moms and they have the help from their partner and they do family activities together frequently and even go away which I did not have the privilege of experiencing and it’s really ultimately just at the end of the day me and my baby.

Also want to add he does absolutely no cleaning/dishes/cooking. Discusses with me that this is my job only while his job is earning money for us to live on, but is it too unreasonable wishing he’d help when I stay up until 12am nearly every day cleaning after everything? He doesn’t even do yard work and spends his free time instead with his friends, playing on his phone or video games or picking up work & when he is with the baby I cannot do anything like read/get ready to workout/etc because of how constantly he calls out for help and an extra set of hands. I do this every day & manage to go to the bathroom while she’s in my care it’s not rocket science.
