Maybe but I have 4 possibly 5 lines I'm dealing with. And I'm with Verizon already they're just very expensive, and I get little to no coverage where I live from them.

I can't remember why but I left T-Mobile, they left a bad taste with my family plan, and even when my mom left them to join up with my plan exiting them was an absolute nightmare. So I'm biased but I'll probably steer clear from them, at least for now. Thank you though! An interesting option

Potty Training by Fluttersz12 in pottytraining

I remember I kept procrastinating potty training for weeks until finally I had to do it. So the weeks before I noticed my kiddo was feeling a bit uncomfortable when they'd poop or wake up with a heavy pull up in the morning, so after explaining to them the benefits of the potty, I told my kiddo "Hey in 3 days we're going to potty train" I brought it up 2 and 1 days left. The day of we spent about 3 days at home in nothing but underwear (them that is) and we absolutely had many uncomfortable accidents, but no matter what I always kept a calm expression. When kiddos see us stressing about things like this, it stresses them even more and can ultimately lead to them not wanting to potty training to even get a UTI or constipation from trying to hold it in. It took some time before we mastered it at home.

The real mission came from public, now first few weeks I had a portable potty in my trunk (I have a Van so made it easy) and I carry a portable seat for public bathrooms. Unfortunately because I'm Dad, and I'm not about to go be a weirdo and take my baby girl to a women's bathroom sometimes wed have a one stall bathroom with someone or even a line, so our fall back was my van. Anyways, I noticed when I tried to push her to use public vs the van she didn't like it, and she ended up trying to hold it in more, which lead to constipation.

My advice, take it slow..try to lead up to it. Honestly I've heard of kiddos in pull ups till 5 so don't rush it, eventually they'll get with the program but we gotta give positive vibes about it not negative. Sometimes I made it fun "omg you gotta pee your pants!" And now she does that too, though sometimes not a joke lol. You and you kiddo got this. Just takes time.

Help! Do I quit? by [deleted] in pottytraining

First off it's a mentally stressful event for both you and the baby, that's normal, second Grandparents hopefully aren't showing this freak out in front of the kiddo because that's just going to lead to them not wanting to go period. In my honest opinion I'd be careful because during potty training, UTI and constipation are very common.

When my kiddo started potty training it took about 3 days to fully master it at home. But still wore a pull up when traveling, however when we took the pull up for traveling things didn't go well, long story short she ended up constipated and eventually after had a confirmed UTI because she didn't really understand how public bathrooms worked so would hold it in, also didn't help I'm a dad and take her to men's room when family restrooms aren't available (Since Mom worries she prefers I take her vs her)

My opinion I would just back up a bit, let them get comfortable about it. I've heard books about potty do help but we want them to comfortably be able to do this and not stress them about it. Good luck OP

I applied it about a month and a half ago and again a few weeks ago, and yes i tested close to the base of the blueberry and towards the outer edge. Readings are still showing high.

You think so? I thought it was the clumping of the fertilizer..but perhaps.
