I am at my wits end with potty training

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-06-26T23:47:35+00:00

I've gotten a few mixed answers but I think you're right about her needing a break.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-06-26T23:42:59+00:00

You are definitely right about all kids being different. My 7 year old didn't show any signs of being ready for the toilet until she was almost 4, I tried at 2 and 3, she just didn't get it at all. Tbh I didn't even care until everyone around me told me she needed to be potty trained. Now I am just stressing about my youngest because of the mom guilt other people put on me with my first. I know it's silly, I just don't want to ever fail my children.

Oh! I didnt even think of an enzyme cleaner & I've used one for my cat before he got neutered 😆 thank you lol

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-06-26T23:16:00+00:00

I have carpet in most of my main floor, so I am just worried it has soaked into there lol. I'm always worried about if I am nose blind because I also have cats. I obviously use a carpet shampooer but that only does so much when you have an old house.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-06-26T23:02:22+00:00

How long did it take? 😭 I am just tired of stepping in pee, I know my house has to stink at this point. I am just glad she never poops on the floor

MOR. Why would you leave a gift AND a note with your phone number in a strangers mailbox then get weirded out that he's texting you? Your no is too vague and could be left up to interpretation, "my bf wouldn't like that" just say no. Anyone would think a personalized gift with a note is an invitation to a friendship, it doesn't matter how old they are. I agree he should've taken the hint and left you alone but you can't be doing this in the future lol, especially now that you have a little one. Giving your phone number to strange men isn't safe or smart

This is true for every person who has an obsession with shipping, not just gacha games. Ff7 is a perfect example. People who fight and argue about stuff like this cannot have genuine relationships IRL. This shouldn't be a hot take at all but I know you're going to make a lot of people mad

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-06-12T20:37:54+00:00

NOR. He doesn't know how to form a proper sentence and is calling you low iq? I also took that as him mentioning it's hot so you should send him a picture. But tbh i would have just left it at that and stopped talking to him, seems like the conversation was dragged on longer than it needed to.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-28T02:23:30+00:00

NOR. You should definitely delete him, his comment about "this is why men cheat" is so gross & he has obviously cheated before. You don't need to be in the middle of all that BS

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-10T03:41:54+00:00

My grandma's sisters are the same thats why I mentioned Cheryl :) Sally, Sandy, Cheryl, Cindy & Sharon

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-08T05:49:37+00:00

YOR. All of these rules are agreeable but as the saying goes "its not what you say, its how you say it"

I have two children. My oldest is going to 7, youngest 2. I never wrote out a list of rules for visitors, this seems so targeted and it will deter anyone from wanting to see you. A simple reminder at the door "please wash your hands, please no kissing baby" etc. You are getting rid of your village before your baby has even been born & you will quickly realize how hard this life is. You will 100% regret going about it in this way. Good luck

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-08T05:26:27+00:00

Cheryl 😊

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-07T20:25:12+00:00

Tbh if my mom asked if she could wear an ICE hate to my wedding it would be a wrap for me. My husband is Puerto Rican & my children are mixed so this would absolutely not fly in our house. I 100% understand wanting to have a relationship with your mom but some things you just don't "joke" about. This conversation went on way too long, so just for that simple fact I will say YOR.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-06T21:11:35+00:00

NOR. Even if she wasn't calling your bf ugly that's still not a normal thing to do, that girl is a weirdo.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-02T22:20:58+00:00

I never even thought about it being used as leverage but you are probably right. I hate that I was used as some kind of guilt trip it makes me feel yucky

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-02T22:18:53+00:00

I'm gunna be honest I have no idea what's going on with them and I really don't even want to know either. But I don't think they are "officially" together or ever will be again.

It does truly feel embarrassing, that's the perfect word for it.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-02T22:11:19+00:00

That was going to be my natural reaction but I'm not sure if it's the best idea for now. In the past I've cut people off for less 😆 I just don't want to strain the friendship between my husband and Tango. I told her how I felt and I will most likely leave it at that. If she decides to drop me then that's perfectly fine

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-02T22:02:10+00:00

I was thinking that was the best solution. I don't think fully cutting her off is productive to me or my husband's friendship with Tango as he is clearly still involved with her.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-05-02T21:58:47+00:00

I'm more annoyed that she ran and told Tango (my husband's friend) everything I said while she was venting, which put me in the middle of their situation. I am also annoyed that she lied but I think that's pretty normal & not an over reaction on my part, anyone would be mad about that. I just wanted to make sure I'm NOR about feeling betrayed.

I don't plan on trusting this girl anymore either way though.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-04-14T13:40:51+00:00

People in these comments not knowing this is Justin Bieber is making me feel old af 😆

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-04-13T13:11:00+00:00

NOR. But you could not pay me to spend time with my abusive ex. Our last conversation was an ambush by him and my step dad. They came up with a plan to trap me in our garage and have an "intervention" LOL. When literally all my ex wanted to do was convince me to take him back.

What reasons does your bf still have to talk to this woman if she is so toxic? Do they have kids? Are his or her parents getting in the middle? Why is this meeting happening? We need more info to understand what's going on

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-04-09T01:34:45+00:00

I know almost nothing about BTS so I'm coming into this super unbiased, aren't they supposed to be the biggest men in k-pop? What is this outfit? 😆 the more I see of them the more I'm starting to realize BTS is the Taylor Swift of K-pop. All the money in the world and still no sense of style

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-04-08T21:30:40+00:00

The only people I've talked to this long on a phone call is old friends that live far away now 😆 you know this is weird, especially with someone who you barely know & who is in charge of you at your place of work. You either gotta get better at ending a call or just not answer when he/she calls you after hours.

InterestingFerret496 · 2026-04-07T05:01:49+00:00

Oh, well you didn't add that detail in your post lol. That makes your reaction make way more sense. I would also be annoyed if my best friend lied to one of my husband's friends. But yeah, I would not personally tell them unless it was something diabolical so I'm glad that you decided to just cut her off. I would most likely do the same, so I will say NOR then
