Is any one else's child not potty ttrained yet?

I work full time and live in a rented house. I dont really have any family around. so i am so clueless how to take off the diaper and not risk the carpets etc? She is sitting on the potty in morning and before bed time but still in diapers. I thought I will use this weekend but I am just so exhausted and just wanted to spend tine with her so we ended up doing outdoor axtivities. I am not sure how outdoor will work as well in the duration. i know she is ready because she dfinitely tells after she has done the poo in the diaper

Yes haven’t started yet. I too work full time and in the weekends I usually take her out I am hoping to do over the Christmas holidays. I am off for two weeks

I found navigating it with work quite challenging so used the summer holidays. I tried the cold turkey method but it did not work for us so did more gradual. Similar to you, we did the potty morning and night, then started with before leaving the house and after coming home. And then whenever I went I took her with me and she sat on her potty. With loads of praise when she did a wee.
We still had some accidents after removing the nappy but nothing like "the three day method".
For the carpets, you can hire a carpet machine from rug doctor or something like that it's called and it works brilliantly 😊 they usually come with attachments for soft furniture as well. And are fairly affordable.

Don’t worry about carpets they can be cleaned. If you are worried just put a big rug down for now and go for it.

My daughter is potty trained for day time but still wears diaper to bed at night
I did it around Jan so just after she turned 2 but it took a while for her to finally be accident free

It took 3 days for her to get the concept and accident reduced to one every few days
I took annual leave from work

I’m so pissed idk what to do I don’t want to call police

My husband has been saying is too tired to do anything and on the weekend he gets annoyed when I ask him to me and my daughter out. He always complains and when he comes home he wants time alone. It bugs me cause he hardly spend any time with our daughter.. anyways today I said we should walk to the store near by to get groceries but told him he should go alone with our daughter cause I already walked to the store earlier and been with our daughter all day. And he got so mad saying he wants me to walk with him and he wouldn’t have agreed to walking if he knew I wasn’t going to go. Anyways he slammed the door and left. I got a text saying how he’s upset and he’s taking note of this and he is going to take his time to come back home. That was at 4:45pm.. it’s now 6pm. He turned off his location. He won’t answer my texts and calls go straight to voicemail… I’m panicking… it’s getting cold and dark out.. idk where he went. His car is still here… I’m beyond pissed and if he doesn’t come home soon I’m calling the
Police. My trust is broken right now..

Feeling Pressure to Spend Time with Partner's Family Postpartum

I'm 3 months postpartum and my partner expects me to spend more time with his family when he's not there because he's working.
There have been comments made from his mum to him and then passed on to me that they expected me to make more of an effort with them. Honestly, it's overwhelming and added pressure and awkwardness. I get on with them fine but the relationship feels forced and they are coming to see the baby and not for me, am I wrong for not wanting this? My partner and i had a argument because he doesnt understand how its fine for my family to visit, i tried to explain the dynamics are different and as much as my family want to see the baby they come to visit to check in and give support to me! Has anyone else dealt with these expectations, and how did you handle it?
I now feel awkward, pressured and alot of guilt on my shoulders because they're 'not seeing the baby enough to bond'. Now cant get it out of my mind and want to see if I am in the wrong for not wanting them over much and prefer to keep it to when my partner is around.

What are some hobbies that you do for yourself??

I started sourdough middle of August and I finally perfected my first loaf after 5!! Im looking for something else to try!

Litter box

Has anyone else had an issue with getting their partner to clean the litter. I have to put on gloves and a mask/ scrub my arms after. I don’t want to risk making my baby blind. He will tell me he doesn’t think anything would happen. He says it’s a ploy by doctors to laugh at men cleaning the litter box. I’m stumped and feel as though he could do this one thing

Does anyone else nurse during Mass?

I haven’t received any dirty looks or been told anything about it but to keep my 9 week old quiet I nurse. So, we don’t have to go into the cry room I nurse him with a nursing cover. I just haven’t seen anyone else nurse during Mass.

How do you be a good aunty on a low budget?! I can't spoil with gifts all the time

Idk how to be a good aunty other than really be interested and get to know my nieces and nephews, I think I'm good at that but I don't show up with gifts or money all the time. Idk. I feel bad like I'm not doing enough. I'm a single mom on low income but I still provide so much and everything for my son. I just am not showy or financially well-off and I kinda feel ashamed compared to the other aunties in the family
