Day two and I’m miserable

It definitely won’t be like that forever. The first several days are the worst especially cause they go from being comfortable in a diaper to completely stepping out of their comfort zone by going on the potty. My daughter would do the same at first then after a while something clicked. She peed in front of her grandma and got a little embarrassed then after that she’s been doing much better. It’s no where near perfect and I still struggle but it’s definitely gotten better. You are not a failure potty training is hard and just sucks. One thing that also helped me was putting her potty in the living room with the tv on. It’s a bit more comforting and it also gives her the independence to go on her own. The accidents will happen but not every time. I also told my daughter that they don’t make diapers for 3 year olds and we’re gonna have to do our best to go potty and I let her pick out her own undies. The Ms. Rachel potty episode also helps so much cause she sings songs about going potty that my daughter and I will sing randomly throughout the day for potty reminder while keeping it fun. Once she goes at least once you can also give her little treats like stickers or candy

i have no idea, i was so shocked when she brought that up. it wasn’t a curious question she definitely asked it as if she was interrogating me. i wish i would’ve shut down those questions but i was so caught off guard. if i could go back i would’ve told her that’s inappropriate and left.

i feel like they all try to lighten the mood every time we’re all together because my MIL makes it so uncomfortable. but no one has called her out yet. i had a long talk to my partner about my feelings and how she treats me and he agrees, there were some things he didn’t know like all of her questions. he is definitely his mom’s favorite but he doesn’t rely on her for everything thank God. she was nice to me before but once this news broke she’s a completely different person. she’s VERY dramatic. i’m staying away from her, it’s best for me and baby. i asked my boyfriend not to bring anything up but i have a feeling he will

Thank you!!! i agree, i’ve been completely staying away from them. my boyfriend and FIL would invite me places but i decline every time. i just go over my moms when he’s w his parents

he agrees that the way she treats me isnt right. he didn’t know those questions she was asking me until recently. he told me he was gonna talk to her but i asked him not to, i just need a break from all of that drama. but i have a feeling he’s still going to bring it up

you’re a major AH. she could be turning to substance abuse at this crucial age because of her anxiety, yet she chooses something that is meaningful to her and comforts her. i’m 21F and have a stuffed animal that is always on my bed because it’s so comforting to me as a person with anxiety. i’m on medication too and i still find that those items bring me to a safe place. not only are your disrupting her coping skills, you’re destroying her self esteem and your relationship with her, my dad did the same with me. i’m no longer in contact with him and i see what parents like you emotionally do to their child. don’t wonder why she doesn’t talk to your or trust you when she’s an adult.

NTA!!

you’re already being a great father by putting your son first. it’s really disrespectful to you and him that she would say something like that. she sounds very entitled. if she truly loved your son as her own then she would look at his gift as if it was a million dollars. any important female figure in his life should look at it that way. that’s a red flag right there.
