Advice on potty training
Please tell me what worked for you to get your boys to go on the toilet. My oldest will be 3 in January and he is absolutely refusing the toilet. Ive tried having him run bare bottom and he just freaked out the whole time because he didnt have a diaper. I tried letting him pick out his own potty. I now have a hot wheel tiny toilet and a spiderman toilet seat 🙄 I've tried candy/toys and he lost interest in the object completely. I tried bribery. I told him i would buy the biggest monster truck, take him out to dinner and take him to go ride a horse and he looked me dead in the eyes and said "thats not fair." Any time anyone brings up the toilet he screams no. And i want him potty trained so badly. I feel like im "failing" in a sense because my friends who have kids who are around his age use the bathroom. And i know theres no reason to compare children but its a little hard. So any other advice?? I feel like I've tried all the well known tricks

I would say first, try to take a step back from all the potty talk, it's become a trigger it seems and that's not going to help. Id buy a little potty (maybe let him pick one while doing a search online so he feels it's his his), and buy a variety of potty books that normalize it. Leave the potty in an obvious and easy location, maybe next to the big potty, let him see you guys sit and use it, to help normalize it.
Girl same boat 🥴 my oldest will be three in February and doesn’t want to go. I can’t help but feel behind also.. following for advice

Nursery.
Hi, I'm going to visit a potential nursery tomorrow for my LO. She'll be just under 1yr when she starts.
Does anyone have any suggestions on questions I should make sure to ask or anything I should be looking out for?
TIA

Hitting other kids at school
My son started pre-k this year. It's been becoming stressful for me, almost once a week the teacher has to talk to me about my son hitting other kids, they put him on time out and he thinks it's funny. Today he almost got sent to the office. What can I do to improve his behavior?
Also if there are any good book recommendations on parenting?
Thanks.

Post partum rage
Does anyone suffer with PPR? I only get it when I'm putting my boy to bed and I have NO idea why. It's completely illogical and irrational but when he's messing around and won't settle I feel the fire rising in me. I get so enraged. Id never hurt him or anything I just have to walk out and take a minute to calm down.

Help! 😢
I have a toddler who’s been on and off sick for 2 weeks and a newborn at home. I have to keep them separated so the newborn doesn’t get sick. I’m going insane. Partner is doing the best but they both need me. I don’t know what to do! Any advice please!

What do you do during wake times? Toys to keep them busy?
Hello! Now that’s it’s cold, rainy and dark earlier, we can’t always go out for walks - and I find the days long especially when the naps are short 😔 what do you do with your little ones all day? Any toy that you recommend that keeps them busy? I feel like we always do the same. Thanks!
