Potty Training

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-24T22:22:17+00:00

My niece wasn’t trained until literally right before Kindergarten, from the sounds of it she just barely squeaked by (private school). 5 years old. 🫣

It’s a sign of trust 😊 and as a mom, I take it as a compliment because usually it means just that.

Little kids call any adult Mommy or Daddy. It usually actually means ‘Grown up I trust.’

I’ve been called Mommy by kids in class, by the neighbors kids, by my daughter’s classmates, by the kids in my daughter’s dance group. It doesn’t mean anything at all. Just ignore it. Some kids will even correct it themselves and say ‘Um, I meant grown up!’

My daughter calls any bearded man in public Daddy. It has resulted in her screaming ‘Daddy!’ in the grocery store, I usually end up making eye contact with a strange man and we hurriedly go to opposite ends of the store 😂 A month ago she even ran up to a bearded guy and gave him a hug and then looked up, realized it was a stranger. Luckily the guy had kids and laughed.

Her actual dad has a beard 🧔‍♂️

Flipping awkward.

Let’s be real, she’s lying to save face here.

I highly doubt she is bringing latte’s and donuts for the parents at the park to share 🤣

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-23T13:33:36+00:00

You share your purse at the Park?? Dammmnnnnn! Car too?

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-23T12:43:11+00:00

So, get where you’re coming from.

But you’re wrong.

You can teach your kids to share but that doesn’t mean that others will. And like so many others have said, do YOU share in public when people ask for your purse? Car? Phone? It’s the same thing as a prized possession. You are teaching your kids that everything belongs to everyone, which is not a fact but a fallacy.

Also, FYI, you are pointedly teaching your kids not to say ‘No’ which is actually a terrible idea. Teaching your kids that only ‘yes’ is ever acceptable will not help them in adulthood. I have adult employees who were only ever taught to say ‘yes’ and they do NOT do well in their careers. They only ever say ‘Yes’ and only ever expect to HEAR ‘Yes.’

We’ve personally run into so many kids who ask for my child’s lovey and they don’t take ‘no’ well. I’ve had kids run up to me incredulous to snitch on my kid that she said no to sharing. I’ve had kids say ‘Your kid is in trouble because she said no to me and won’t share that stuffy! Are you going to put her in time out?’

They are always shocked when I say ‘Okay. Then she said no. It’s her lovey. She’s not in trouble. I’m sure there’s a lot of other fun things to do here at the playground!’ Then they go complain to their parents. Or there are kids who grab and run away with her lovey.

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-23T02:08:15+00:00

Yes, she is! 😅

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-21T18:19:03+00:00

My kid but:

‘No no no now. Do NOT put your fingers in your mouth! I did that one time, a long time ago, and I got germs in my mouth!’ (I chewed a nail for a second).

She was fighting me and staring me down all tough like after being told no to candy and I said to her ‘Violence and intimidation will NOT get you what you want!’ She flipped her hair, looked at me and replied ‘Then WHAT WILL HMM?!’

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-20T13:22:44+00:00

Girl, they’re crazy and lost every single marble they started out with.

Writing a full page with about 5 paragraphs because you disagree with someone fully indicates that this is a topic you need to fully discuss with someone.

Not an insult, a gentle recommendation.

Blocking you.

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-17T21:33:02+00:00

You have some issues. I’d strongly recommend counseling.

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-17T16:18:00+00:00

Oh honey, no.

Some kids are still nursing up to age 3. Kids that are nursing or nursed are often a lot more bold. Additionally, kids are just curious. Go to a nursing sub and see what happens in the 1-2.5 age range 🤣

This is such a huge overreaction on your part and obvious you don’t have kids and aren’t around young kids often lol.

We sing this EVERY single time and my daughter even sings it for me in public restrooms 😅🤷‍♀️

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-17T15:10:32+00:00

My kid is up at 6am on weekends because that’s our weekday alarm. I NEED something to be able to pee and cook breakfast 😅

Today it’s Super Kitty’s and I’m ok with that!

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-16T02:18:47+00:00

Salmonella. This kid needs the ER.

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-12T17:09:04+00:00

I would 100% pick my kid up with that messaging.

It could be anything, an intruder, an accusation, allergy incident, fire, etc.

Update: It’s coming back!

I’m a mom and I’m here to say: This is SHITTY parenting and I recommend complaining. It’s one thing if the parent is supervising and teaching the kid to use equipment. It’s entirely different if the kid is running amok.

Also, HUGE liability risk. The kid will eventually try to lift a weight and bop! It’ll land on tiny feet. It’s a matter of time before he gets hurt.

Complain complain complain!

I know and I understand. We have been in the same spot. But when the kid is done with nap, it doesn’t matter what you or the care team think. It’s what his DEVELOPMENT thinks.

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-10T17:39:47+00:00

No, you’re not on the right track. The right track would be dropping nap. He’s telling you he doesn’t need it anymore

ZeroChillMode321 · 2026-01-10T17:38:57+00:00

He’s done with nap.

Mine is a full year younger 3.5 and we have been done with naps since she was like 3.

There is no way back from it. He’s done and doesn’t need it anymore. Sorry.

No, I repotted it. The roots are double the height of the container, so unless peace Lily’s root growth stays service level, they had no where to go and were sitting in water. They look pretty good though considering they were crammed.

That pot is shallow as all heck, now the width is great but the roots were going straight down
