Potty Training

I am in the process of potty training my son and need any tips or tricks! He does pretty well when he doesn’t have a diaper or pull up on but as soon as we put anything on him even training underwear he starts to have accidents 🤦‍♀️ I have been off all week and have to send him back to daycare on Monday. Clearly the commando method can’t be used at daycare. HELP!

Need to vent

I’m gonna sound like an A-hole but I need to get it out so I don’t take it out in my husband and child.

My 16 month old was throwing up all night the other night so I got like no sleep. Then my husband was sick last night and so far today throwing up. My son has been very emotional tooday too and won’t nap and I’m just exhausted.

And unfairly annoyed at my husband. Bc when I was pregnant I was throwing up for like 9 weeks and still had work and chores. So like suck it up for a day and help. Throw up and rally, if I could do it for 9 weeks straight you can do it for 1.

Also I started my period so that doesn’t help my mood and I’m bleeding through everything every hour.

I know it’s just one of those days and we all have them but I just needed to vent

Am I overreacting?

I have been with my child Father for a little bit over three years. We have a 14 month old baby. He complains about the way that I speak to him which I really don’t have a clue what I’m wrong. I’m Caribbean he’s African. I’ve tried to tone down. We still have been going at it for probably two years. He thinks I’m selfish and doesn’t show him love. He complains that I yell, which i don’t think i do, or talk crazy. He wants all these things from me, but isn’t nice to me.

He’s a great father , he provides, but I feel like it’s getting to a point where I can’t do it anymore. Every time we have an argument every time I bring something up of what I don’t like he always turn it back to me.

He says well I’m doing this and I have talked about it and I haven’t changed. I could never bring up something I don’t like without him turning it around to me, and lecturing me.

two days ago he’s said that he’s intentionally being an ass to me so I can see how it feels like when i do it to him and at this point it’s like why are we even in a relationship?

Hurt by my partner

I’m 17 just had my first baby. I have no fanily at all except my partners family. He’s 18 and my baby is 5 weeks old. He does nothing he doesn’t get up at night he doesn’t tidy he doesn’t clean he does nothing I’m on my own and it was him that was convincing me to keep the baby. I wouldent change this for the world now but every single week since my sons been born my partner has been out at the pub with his pals. I don’t get to go out with mine I made plans last week to go for coffee WOTH some and I was guilt tripped by him. I have a sever womb infection and bladder infection curently so I’m at his mum and dads house Bwcause I can’t cope in my own house on my own right now and I am just so upset and angry that I’ve been Left to deal on my own whilst he gets to live his best life. It’s so unfair and I know this is my own fault and I done it to myself but somebody tell me I’m not crazy and I’m not the only one. TAHTS dealing with this and these feelings

For funsies

What’s something (or multiple things) your mother in law has said to you that have made you cringe or left you shook?

I’ll go first, mine always says off handed remarks to me because I don’t give my son juice and I only allow sugary sweets with supervision, anyways she told me that when her boys where little, she took them off of formula and started giving them Carnation milk at 6 MONTHS old and she fed her 10 day old rice water with oatmeal because he wouldn’t sleep all night. lol

We get along and she respects my boundaries but I definitely think it’s so funny how statements like “look at them (my husband) he’s fine,” get used.

Going insane?

Please please tell me what your doing with your 9 month olds throughout the day. My partner works 12hour shifts and it’s just so draining being in the house with a fussy 9 month olds who I have to try keep a nap routine for.

What are we doing to keep them entertained and us feeling like we have an inch of sanity. Cannot even go to toilet without him crying and it’s so draining. I want positive and supportive advice please :(
