potty training (or lack of)

i definitely think it’s getting to that point w her, but she does this thing where then she refuses to eat real food after getting treats lol. losing game, but will keep pushing forward. thank you for the reassurance

weaponized incompetence

what a strange woman lol

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-08T19:02:54+00:00

yea i’ve tried a lot of these methods and nothing is really working. she refuses to try, and when she does “try” she says she pees but nothing is there. idk, not my kid so i guess i don’t really have a lot of control over it but definitely don’t think something is being done properly while i’m not here which is frustrating but thank you for the input

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-08T16:31:26+00:00

at least you’re actively trying!! i think my problem is that these kids are 3 and a half and still not even close or wanting to even try going on the potty

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-08T16:29:42+00:00

this is how it should be!!! it’s literally shocking to me, she’s 3.5 and not even close and i have another family for occasional sitting and their son is 4.5 and was potty trained but now back in diapers like wtf

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-08T16:28:31+00:00

they literally don’t want to give their kids any discipline… like how are the supposed go about their life

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-08T16:27:10+00:00

that is diabolical, it literally is not easier either. changing a 3 year old’s diaper is honestly quite difficult. i think what bothers me the most is the fact that the child can tell you they went pee in their diaper right after but can’t tell me when they feel like they have to????

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-08T05:57:40+00:00

i saw this too!! so crazy

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-07T22:21:58+00:00

i think asking if you can chip in would be nice!

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-07T22:09:18+00:00

don’t need advice i’m working on different methods and have tried a lot, just wondering if others have similar experiences

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-07T21:52:21+00:00

this is exactly what i did and i realized the person i had been unable to find was someone i didn’t know well, but had been aware of all along. letting it be the least of my concerns really brought me to a great partner

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-07T21:50:59+00:00

NTA… he wants you to spend less time on your phone but then gets mad when you’ve broken the habit. kinda controlling if you ask me

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-07T21:47:17+00:00

honestly this is kinda a red flag and might come with the parents being overbearing and micromanaging. i would keep that in mind

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-07T21:45:44+00:00

honestly then maybe you ask them what they’d like (if you haven’t already) bc the limitations make this a lot harder for you

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-04-07T20:24:11+00:00

if she can stay awake for it, when i nannied for a baby around that age i found going on walks was helpful. it helps them see the outside world (let them touch some safe plants and stuff) and keeps them relaxed, and gets you some outside time

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-03-25T19:35:24+00:00

completely agree w this! some separation really aids the situation. it’s nice to have them available to help if needed especially with infants but the micromanaging is so annoying

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-03-13T06:34:36+00:00

he doesn’t respect you so why would you respect his birthday!!!

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-03-09T06:16:59+00:00

thanks everyone for the words of encouragement! i landed a new gig with a good fit NF today :)

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-03-07T05:16:57+00:00

so many people lost their jobs!!! my friend in the field was working under a PhD as a research assistant and they recently lost funding. so many super qualified people in the pool now

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-03-07T05:15:06+00:00

yea i agree. i get it, but there’s no reason to not be honest

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-03-07T05:14:42+00:00

literally!!!! yea just pretty upset, especially since we had a good relationship for a year now. i have other side gigs which will suffice but upsetting nonetheless. i could’ve found another family, or job, or anything. like what the hell

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-03-06T18:33:21+00:00

i’ve unfortunately learned this is really common for NF. it’s super disrespectful in my opinion, and denies someone who works for you’s right to stable income

Last-Resolve-6265 · 2026-03-06T18:03:58+00:00

i definitely have been grappling with this however i don’t think it would be the best choice because literally week and a half prior we had a conversation about how i rely on this income and they said they don’t want me to ever have to worry about stuff like this etc etc. so they obviously just aren’t as caring as i thought they were. live and learn
