Am I doing this wrong?

First time posting on here. Anyways I have a 3 year old daughter who doesn't want to sit on the potty which I wish she would and her doctor is not to concern. However I have family members on my side and her dad side a saying she needs to go on the potty. Now mind you this is my third child and my first child was stubborn just like her. My second child got started at 3 years old. I am doing this on my own like I did with my other two as well. I just feel like she is not ready but everyone else is telling me that if she wants to go to school or daycare she needs to be. I already know this so that is not helping. I just don't want to force her but everyone keeps telling me and her that she needs to go in the potty. Sorry for my long rant but this is causing me to go crazy and my anxiety to go up. Like I am failing everyone Delete if not allowed.

My coworkers son didn't become fully potty trained until he was probably closer to 4. I'm just about to start potty training (so I may be wrong), but I feel like if the doctor isn't concerned then it will happen when your daughter is ready. And the same happened with your first. You're doing great mama 💕

Baby sleeping

Hi mom's, how do you get your baby to sleep a full 8 or 12 hours every night, I'm suffering my baby girl only sleep for a few minutes every night, I mean she'll fall asleep at say for example 8pm and by 8:15 or before she's up again, I'm struggling really bad and I'm so tired and stressed out I need help

Feeling really disconnected from my husband…

We have a 3 year old son. When our son was a newborn my husband prioritized my MILS feelings (was afraid to be honest with her and hurt her feelings). I was recovering from a C section and she was at our house uninvited when we brought our son home. He knew she was there but didn’t call her and tell her to leave. She knew I didn’t want her there when I brought the baby home.
We invited my MIL to meet the baby in the hospital- she did. The only thing that went wrong was she told us she didn’t like the name we chose for him. Also told me not to feed our baby formula because “it’s poison”. My MIL has always been bossy- controlling, uses a lot of guilt and shame to control things. She’s tried to control how we manage finances, where we live, and now how we raise our son.
Basically since my husband didn’t prioritize my feelings as the new mother - and didn’t put us first- I’ve felt unattracted to him. I view my husband like a he’s man child. He has finally realized how difficult his mother can be. But I just have felt so unsupported by my husband and part of me just wants to get away from him. I want our relationship to work but the connection and attraction seems to have vanished. I have a fantasy of meeting a man that’s mature, emotionally intelligent, that I feel taken care of. Just venting and advice welcomed…

Do you take your kids/toddler (not an infant) out (park, grocery store etc.) in pajamas?
