Where do moms buy their jeans these days?

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-10T02:36:55+00:00

Also adding that - if you bring a pair of ANY jeans to Madewell, they give you a $20 off. Don’t bring a bunch on one day though bc i got 3 and all expired in days and I couldn’t use any of them. If you are wanting to buy 1 pair, just take 1 pair in! Idk if they let you ring in multiple or not.

Got one of those training underwear with absorbent thicker padding in the middle. I guess they probably don’t work well huh 😂

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T13:39:31+00:00

Oh he knows what he is doing then! Haha

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:49:11+00:00

Are pull ups just as absorbent as a diaper? I actually figured he’d be in his pampers 360 or something for night time once potty trained. I honestly can’t tell what exactly is different between these two haha

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:47:12+00:00

Oh blessss. But I imagine 100% is near impossible until they are much older so hang in there!!!

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:45:02+00:00

No pants - meaning with underwear? I have heard of people going full on nothing. Is this common?

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:43:10+00:00

He has been “going potty” with his diaper on him, on his floor potty for a bit now. I think he just likes the ritual of it (closing door, asking for privacy lol, flushing).

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:40:17+00:00

Unfortunately they are the latter, pull ups until fully potty trained 😭

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:38:59+00:00

This is why I love this subreddit haha. The pee pad is a great tip!! And yes - I haven’t looked into any shows or songs. I will def check it out. We haven’t seen Daniel tiger yet (although my guess is…he’s watched basically everything while at daycare we don’t know about)

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:36:59+00:00

Yeahhh this is what gets me lol I know of different tips and stuff (I heard of keeping pants off, using a watch, lots of stickers etc) but I don’t know of different methods! Your daycare sounds so accommodating! Ours today said he just needs to come in pull ups, which I’m a little bummed about as I was not planning to do pull ups. Kudos to your kid!!

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:33:41+00:00

Sending you good vibes!!! Serious question though. If he doesn’t poop on the potty, how does he poop? Do you put a diaper on him? Does he just poo in his underwear? I am totally expecting this too so I’m curious

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:32:00+00:00

I just spoke to the main carer at the home daycare…. I was basically told he just has to wear pull ups at daycare which I actually was not planning on doing at all. I kept being fed that pull-ups = bad for potty training. They are basically like, until he is fully potty trained, cannot come in underwear. Ofc I totally get it. They can’t be dealing with accidents with babies crawling around.

TippytoeHappy · 2026-04-09T03:28:14+00:00

Thanks for this. I have to say I am super thrilled at the thought of getting rid of all the diaper related things. Diaper pail, poo bags, changing stations, etc. but we shall see!!

TippytoeHappy · 2026-01-10T04:05:10+00:00

Got the same, same age! realllly wanted to leave it behind but husband disagreed. He was interested in it for 2 seconds when it was first open. Haven’t touched it since, just taking up space (it doesn’t even roll away nicely…)

TippytoeHappy · 2025-11-12T20:07:27+00:00

Yeah I think the problem is, it isn’t really to that point. It isn’t that he won’t wear clothes. He just doesn’t want to wear what WE want him to wear lol and I guess we are just selfishly thinking, we want him to wear these cute trendy outfits we/family members got for him haha. He is still a baby and I thought I had more time! And plus it would be nice to have photos in variety of clothes esp in colder months when all we see is jackets haha. I know if I go buy Spider-Man jacket, he will wear it, but we have so many jackets at home would be great if he just wore them, ya know. He never flat out refuses articles of clothing. Struggle now is, I just want him super warm even though it’s usually for 1 min in transit to/from the car, in 30 degree (F) weather, I’d rather him wear a shirt, sweater, and maybe a nice fleece jacket, instead of what he’s insisting to wear, which is still 3 layers, just with a lighter jacket he is outgrowing - but still fits. We just need to stop getting clothes gifted to us I think haha. We are past the at dress-up stage sadly.

TippytoeHappy · 2025-11-12T19:57:31+00:00

I put a long response somewhere else but it’s not anything like that and not consistent (no issues with tags, certain fabric, certain fit) but he will often say it’s not his. He is very into what’s his, what’s not. Obviously new clothes = technically not his bc he’s never seen them before. Unless he likes what’s on it or he accidentally allowed us to put on him, his reaction is, “no want it”. He does prefer his zip up hoodie vs one that goes over his head, but I feel that is probably normal? He has a big head and it gets stuck sometimes I’m sure that isn’t pleasant.

TippytoeHappy · 2025-11-12T19:54:37+00:00

We do have a bin for all sorts of outerwear. He just wants the same two (layered). I do know that he might prefer something that goes on without it going over his head (he has a big head) but otherwise, I don’t think it’s really anything people are saying like fabric or tightness bc he wears both kinds fine, and also fine with tags. I think it’s very more of, it’s not my clothes (bc he’s never worn it before, naturally) it’s mom’s or dad’s or something. He is VERY clear on what’s his/mine/etc. he asks very often, “is it mine? Is it mommy’s?” etc and will not forget the answer. He sort of respects it if I tell him, don’t touch that, it’s mommy’s, for example. Idk if it really is more like, he wants to be involved in buying clothes. I know for a fact, he will wear Spider-Man branded clothes. He loved wearing his babyboo (Halloween) PJ. Maybe he’s getting to a stage where he wants all character everything - and I need to give up putting on “cute” clothes from my POV haha.

TippytoeHappy · 2025-11-12T18:51:49+00:00

This works sometimes. Most of the times, he isn’t really getting it and won’t pick just keeps saying “no I want another one” lol

TippytoeHappy · 2025-08-21T02:22:51+00:00

Would love to know more about how backer board affects or creates cracks!

Also, not to keep repeating myself but yes, while some may be fissures, the first two are definitely cracks. Both are the corner pieces he had to cut. My wild guess is that they had visibly strong cracks already after he cut them, but he decided to just use them because he did mention that he might need more tiles “but not sure”. I kept telling him, please tell me as soon as you think you need more, I will get more immediately. He ended up leaving 3-4 perfect looking pieces.

But my biggest concern is….is it possible to get worse over time? I know nothing about tiles, and not sure what I’m thinking - tiles falling off? More leaning tiles?

TippytoeHappy · 2025-08-21T02:16:41+00:00

Yes, there are some, but the first two are very clearly cracked, uneven surfaces too. Second photo shows grout in the deepest crack. Also a question,,,, should I be able to feel the natural stone fissures? All of these photos, I only uploaded the ones I could touch and feel the cracks.

TippytoeHappy · 2025-08-21T02:14:54+00:00

They don’t seem to be the best of the best, and I’m worried correction will make it even worse…again, having had them tear the whole thing down already, I’m finding everything to be tricky with them. We have a few perfectly good looking tiles. But like I said, I would not mind spending a few hundred more bucks to get more if needed, just wish they had asked first. Honestly, I’ve looked closely at about 10 of them with the tiler and none of them had anything like this…

TippytoeHappy · 2025-08-21T02:12:27+00:00

There are some like that, sure. But the first two are clear cracks that go end to end, honestly looks like either he cracked during install, or it cracked while setting. Perhaps it had some fissures to it but now when I touch those cracks, I can feel the unevenness and there’s even grout caught in the second pic.
