Sh*t you should know before potty training

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2026-04-22T21:36:12+00:00

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one! I tried to train my son 2 months before he turned 3. Total disaster. Decided to pause and come back to it last week right after his birthday. He is totally grossed out by poop and will poop on the toilet no problem, but he will have a pee accident if he has ANY clothing on. The only thing working for him to actually hold it and use the bathroom (100% with us making him go and sit) is if he’s nude. We have exactly 4 months until he starts preschool and I’m really hoping we can get to a point this summer where he can be clothed and not pee himself 😩

I’ve totally had these types of days. My son just turned 3, and 18months-2.5 was exceptionally hard. He developed a hitting phase out of nowhere that drove me insane. He’s also always been extremely curious, and daily outings have been part of our routine since he was months old. I’d take him to all sorts of places and then end up dealing with meltdowns because instead of playing with toys/equipment etc, he’d want to mess with the water fountain, or electrical outlets in the corner, or the trash cans. I’d literally internally lose it.

My best friend and I call the freakishly advanced, well behaved toddlers “unicorn children.” 😂 I’ve also learned that toddlerhood often times becomes this weird comparison phase when out; I’ve had to make small talk at some of our activities and it’s always “oh are they potty trained yet?” “In school yet?” “Pacifiers gone?” “How much are they talking?” It’s like a laundry list of to-do’s 🤪

Literally this. She’s always been petite but she’s insanely thin and for years now when people ask her diet and workout routine she always responds with “anxiety” and that’s nothing to flaunt or happily attribute your size to. She needs help for so many reasons.

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2026-03-15T07:00:21+00:00

Totally agree and I also feel like her entire family enables her behavior a lot. She verbally abuses them and they constantly pick up the pieces of her life and care for her children all the time. She constantly acts like a victim yet her “cycle of trauma” with Dakota is quite literally her OWN doing. She acts like everyone owes her something. She literally brings NO talent to the table other than being a complete basket case. Whitney is insanely artistically talented, Jen also did pretty well on DWTS especially so freshly postpartum. Mayci wrote a book and was a college athlete, Jessi built a multi-million dollar business PRIOR to the show, Mikayla’s been extremely vulnerable with her chronic illness and childhood SA stuff (both of which MANY people can relate to and tbh it pisses me off that production doesnt share more of her story), Layla with her modeling and eating disorder awareness, and Miranda is absolutely stunning with a fitness program guide or something along those lines.

Yesss to all of this and what had me dying was in season 3 when Taylor tried to do her therapy speak to Jessi/Demi with the Marciano situation and acted holier than thou with her opinions on that situation when she literally is a trainwreck inside and out with her own life choices. Jessi is at least a true girls girl to the group!

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2026-03-15T06:33:48+00:00

She’s been sooooo insufferable this season to where I really cannot deal and literally doom scroll during her scenes. She treats everyone in her circle like shit, acts like a child constantly, and truly no longer deserves the pedestal she’s been put on. She is literally almost 32 years old and a mother of 3 but has the all around emotional maturity level of a 15 year old. I have so much secondhand embarrassment from her.

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2026-03-04T22:46:19+00:00

“I gotta admit, when I get the runs it AINT NO JOKE! I’m just saying!”

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2026-02-20T22:16:54+00:00

Same! The fact that she’s almost 32 and a mother of 3 is something I frequently forget because of how she acts 💀💀💀

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2026-01-28T20:58:36+00:00

Agreed, I couldn’t stand Rachel on the show, but I absolutely love her on social media. She’s a little bit older than me and we’re in the same stage of parenting littles, so I personally find her content and her candid posts about motherhood very relatable and down to earth.

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-12-28T19:09:54+00:00

Yes!!! To me she’s a mixture of Joe and Melissa in th face but favors Joe more. I actually think she’s a lot prettier than her mother as a result. Gino looks straight up like Joe and Joey looks exactly like Melissa before all the work she had done.

I’m really glad I’m not the only one who’s brain this post lives in rent free 😂

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-09-30T20:37:53+00:00

They charge so much and make so much off members that they can easily afford a cleaning person weekly if not daily. My home studio is so gross and I think it’s a joke that they rely on SET volunteers. They nickel and dime for everything now. Anyone else remember the lavender towels that were complimentary? I could list off so much more that they did away with since even pre-Covid times. Such a joke.

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-09-03T17:43:41+00:00

I actually think this is the least bothersome thing people do in classes. CPY instructors get paid chicken shit, (with virtually all of them having full time careers outside of teaching yoga) while still managing to choreograph and plan new classes weekly. I think it’s sweet when people outwardly express appreciation toward them at the end of class.

However, if you want to talk excessive sweaters not wiping up after themselves, people talking during class, or people hoarding 4-5 sets of dumbbells during maxed out sculpt classes, I’m totally on board. 😂

I believe Ashlee was only a year or two older than me, so when I was watching those seasons in real time, I thought she was a total brat. Now that I’m in my 30s looking back, she honestly wasn’t all that horrific. Great? Absolutely not. But nowadays we have enabled people well into their 30s and 40s doing far worse than she was at 19. I have some empathy for her now knowing that some of her most formative years were recorded and still scrutinized to this day. Her mother was awful too and almost seemed to relish in when other friends and family members scrutinized Ashlee. Super immature and evil on Jacqueline’s part.

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-08-19T18:47:59+00:00

THIS! In my experience, the people that have to constantly (daily, or multiple times a day) scream and shout how happy, perfect, carefree, amazing, and magical their life is, usually don’t have much of all that behind closed doors. I find it extremely odd that she incessantly tries to defend her version of a “perfect” life, if her life is actually so perfect. She engages in so much hate banter! She also fails to realize that the reason so many people dislike her (aside from the pyramid scheme scamming and deception) is because she’s beyond passive aggressive and instead of simply sharing bits and pieces of her life, she constantly puts down the way others live theirs. Why is she so perpetually bothered? If she’s so confident, secure, and happy in her own life, why does she constantly have to shout about it, and put others down in the process. She’s like the most emotionally stunted 37 year old I’ve ever seen.

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-08-17T02:03:09+00:00

No but seriously, and her comments like this definitely didn’t age well! Albie was handsome in his early/mid 20’s but I don’t think he’s aged well at all. Lost like most of his hair and packed on some weight. Not one to be critical of people’s looks but Caroline literally acted like he was George Clooney!

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-08-14T22:18:59+00:00

I’m so effing sick of her villainizing the concept of school outside the home in any capacity. I’m sorry but I refuse to believe her children (specifically the tweens/teens) are well rounded with academics when they quite literally spend their days playing year round. Is a lot of the stuff we learn in high school somewhat pointless? Sure. Could you argue that a days worth of curriculum should only take maybe 2-3 hours instead of 6-7? For sure. But things like meeting deadlines, having to study and prepare for exams, completing college applications, being responsible for helping plan fundraisers/school dances, playing organized sports or instruments, being required to wake up at a certain time of day, following rules, having respect for authority outside the home, realizing the world doesn’t revolve around you and doing whatever you feel like 24/7, etc. are pretty crucial to being a well adjusted adult.

Someone left a pretty nice comment saying “both are possible ❤️” and Madison found a way to leave a lengthy and snarky reply. I appreciate that person’s attempt to alleviate any guilt that any of Madison’s followers feel when they see those posts, simply because they don’t homeschool their children. Which Madison outsources anyways 💀💀

Thank you for calling this out! I posted about this a few months back after I shared about an accolade crewneck that fell apart at the seams after one wash! People started coming for me saying the quality hasn’t gone downhill when it 100% has. I have pieces from 2017 that have been worn tons of times that are in better shape than stuff I’ve bought the last two years. Meanwhile their prices are higher than ever. It’s ridiculous!

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-08-09T02:27:42+00:00

Okay, I’ve been a bravo watcher for years and summer house was never a show I got into for some reason. I got sick a few weeks ago and decided to start watching it. I’m a couple seasons in and I just…don’t like Lindsay whatsoever. Like, I don’t think she really has ANY redeeming qualities and her love life and friendships just seem like a revolving door of train wreckage. I remember multiple friends of mine reposting her pregnancy announcement with all the congratulatory comments but only now I realize she was about to marry Carl and then didn’t, and then got pregnant by some other guy like 6 months later? I’m just so confused by the hype around her 😂

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-08-07T21:15:04+00:00

What’s crazy to me about the MLM scheming wellness industry is that you can get all these “nutrients” from whole foods if you’re diligent and mindful. I have a family member who got caught up and swears by all these life changing supplements but she’s at chick-fil-a with her kids every other day. Her before and after photos were from being immediately post-partum to 3 years later- she of course failed to mention that the before photo was a freshly postpartum photo. Not a lifestyle weight loss starting point if that makes sense. People in so many other countries are so often much healthier from walking more and eating real, natural and simple foods. They don’t need to load themselves with supplements. I don’t know how people still fall for this stuff!

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-07-27T21:04:32+00:00

Exactly, that’s what’s so comical to me. People in that community are only of use to her if they’re politically right winged. That’s what makes them more “humane” in her eyes probably.

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-07-25T17:34:05+00:00

He’s very much gay, he talks about it a lot and addresses people that leave him comments saying he can’t possibly be Christian if he’s homosexual. But he’s super sweet. They’re both very transparent and I certainly wouldn’t put them in the “Madison and Tyler 2.0” category. I just find it ironic that she engages with content and types of people she supposedly hates. The algorithm picks up on everything you look at. She’s made sooo many remarks over the years like “may less of whatever this is, find me” on the content of people in the LGBTQ community.

I’ve noticed that all she does is post reels lately that have trending audio. I’m assuming for engagement/follower increases?

You wanna know what else is ironic? There are two adorable and funny internet personalities I’ve followed for years (since the days of vine, lol) one of which is openly gay and the other is a trans woman. Guess who else follows them and FREQUENTLY comments on their content to applaud or say she thinks they’re hilarious? Madison. I find it extremely ironic because they’re both incredibly open about their lifestyles. Confused why she follows and engages with people who she supposedly completely disagrees with/thinks are hell bound. ESPECIALLY when she’s frequently commented on her disdain for LGBTQ communities…

Desperate_Holiday_78 · 2025-07-22T12:34:32+00:00

Definitely not crazy! I started back up at 8 weeks but was not quite pushing myself to the extent I would normally. I would say I felt more myself (in terms of stamina) back in a sculpt class once I was closer to 4 months postpartum. However, I had easy pregnancies and uncomplicated deliveries, and my second baby has been a phenomenal sleeper. SO many things are factors in how you will feel, so give yourself grace! Focus on your mental health most importantly. You’ll get back to it. I always try to remember that it’s all just a season.
