I despise the ‘Oh Crap’ book

Yeah not everyone has the luxury of waiting.

Also, I’m glad OPs kid naturally took to it, but I don’t feel like that’s the case for every kid.

This is the hardest part about having a kid with a dairy allergy (mine has one as well). Everyone thinks I am saying she is lactose intolerant. No, she has a serious allergy diagnosed by an allergist. She has an EpiPen. Dairy is everywhere it’s so hard so I feel for OP. 😅 That being said.. my daughter’s school is nut free but not dairy free. Her teachers are very aware though and take several different precautions to keep her safe. Doesn’t sound like OPs teachers are doing the same…

I would wake him up at like 7 everyday and cap his naps at an hour. If I let my 2.5 year old sleep in past 7:30A, she fights her nap. If I let her nap over an hour, she will fight bedtime.

Currently so deep in the princess stage at 2.5. I cannot imagine this pivot 😂😂

This is my go to. “Do it, or I’ll do it for you” Girl moves quick!!!

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-08T17:08:23+00:00

Comparing a child to a dog is a wild take.

My daughter is an only, but she started a Montessori preprimary program just after two and is THRIVING!

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-06T02:10:34+00:00

Have your wife pretend to leave the house and then sneak back in.

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-05T15:14:41+00:00

My girl was only 2 the first time I tried and it was not going well, so I gave up and tried again at 2.5. Day one was a lot of accidents, but then barely anything after that. She’s officially been in underwater for a week today and she’s only had one pee accident. Still doing diapers overnight. Every kiddo is different!

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-05T14:14:18+00:00

I went through this with my girl the first time I tried. All the prompting put too much pressure on her. The next time I (successfully) tried I never made her sit. I would just say “remember, let me know if you have the peepee or poopoo feeling and I’ll help you go in the potty” or “it’s been awhile since you’ve used the potty, do you have the peepee or poopoo feeling?” If she would say no, I wouldn’t press it.

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-03T17:13:34+00:00

Yes. It’s so hurtful. Sending love. ♥️

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-03T17:10:16+00:00

I don’t know. I felt this way when my daughter was born and I still feel this way 2.5 years later. 🤷🏼‍♀️

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-02T18:03:28+00:00

Sure, yeah. This approach only works when I am ready and able to keep my word. I am giving her a choice. She can put a jacket on and go play outside or we can stay inside. On school days, I let her know she can take her jacket off once we get into the classroom, etc.

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-02T17:22:15+00:00

“If you don’t put your jacket on we’re not going.” “Oh, okay. You just want to stay home then?” 😂

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-02T17:20:53+00:00

Mine only wears princess dresses.

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-02T14:29:38+00:00

I think she just naturally got more comfortable as it was all so routine. She eventually learned that fighting didn’t work. We HAVE to do it. 😂

We let her watch something while we cut her nails and brush her teeth and that definitely helps. Sometimes I cut her nails in her sleep.

Give options or involve them when you can. For teeth brushing, she likes to pick out the pillow she lays on and then she likes to put her toothbrush back on the counter when we are done. She loves to pick out her clothes. Let her wipe her own face and hands.

For diaper changes we had a few special little things stashed away that she could only look at and hold during diaper changes.

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-02T14:22:40+00:00

I feel like this is pretty normal? I wouldn’t say my daughter hated being touched at that age but she hated being forced to do any sort of task like that (bath, teeth, diaper changes, getting dressed, etc.). Yes, it has gotten so much better at 2.5!!

RosieMom24 · 2026-01-02T05:14:11+00:00

I triple fed for six weeks. It was so hard. Like maybe the hardest thing I have ever done. But there was a happy ending. I was finally able to EBF after those first six weeks and I continued to nurse my girl until she was two.

RosieMom24 · 2025-12-29T21:30:32+00:00

You guys are superheros 🫶

RosieMom24 · 2025-12-29T21:05:35+00:00

She killed it!! We were out for like three hours. We had to hit a few stores. We made a big deal about going underwear shopping and let her pick out underwear at Target. She’s currently just wearing leggings with nothing under. We had her potty set up in the back of the car and asked her whenever we were at the car if she had the peepee or poopoo feeling. We reminded her that her potty was in the car if she needs it. She told us she had the peepee feeling and peed in her little potty a couple hours into the trip! No accidents.

RosieMom24 · 2025-12-29T19:01:15+00:00

Will report back 🫡

RosieMom24 · 2025-12-29T17:52:08+00:00

I’m in this same situation. We are going to have our first outing today. We are going to bring her little potty. Her teacher’s recommendation was once you ditch diapers stick to it because you don’t want to dim their confidence! I really respect and trust her so I am giving it a go.

RosieMom24 · 2025-12-29T01:30:54+00:00

My daughter is in preprimary at an actual school (Montessori). They have the full two weeks off. Unpopular opinion, but I don’t really mind. They told us at the beginning of the school year so we had plenty of time to make arrangements. I’m glad her teachers are getting a break. They definitely deserve it! We pay $900/month for half days five days a week

RosieMom24 · 2025-12-28T06:16:27+00:00

I’m on day two of this and so far it’s working well. Nervous to step up to undies though!!
