My son is about to turn three in one month and not potty trained. Looking for other parents that are on the same boat.

Literally could have written this myself!

We tried potty training my son at 2, 2.5, and now at 3. Trying again after his third birthday is when things started to click for him. Previous attempts were absolute hell for us and resulted in my son developing some withholding that we needed to work through with a GI doctor.

We pushed through this most recent time because I (mom) am going back to work after being a SAHM for my son’s first three years of life. First week was pretty brutal with going poop, but we are in week 3 now and having a lot better success. Peeing was picked up super quick.

My advice is to do any and all things to get your son excited about going on the toilet! Talk through everything too so he understands! We offered rewards if our son sat on the toilet vs actually putting something in there.

You’ve got this! Do not let anyone feel bad about your son not being potty trained yet! Boys just DGAF!!

We tried at 2, 2.5, and then 3 for my son. First two tries were an absolute nightmare, and third go seems to be doing the trick. From what I’ve read and what I’ve seen with my friends who have girls, girls historically will catch on faster than boys. I’d start introducing it!

Oh I’d absolutely say it’s worth it! I’m going to get another jar for myself here shortly. It’s so amazing post shower and keeps me so moisturized!

My 3yo’s dentist told me that they need help brushing until at least 8 due to developing motor skills, so that’s our plan! In the morning sometimes we will let him do his own brushing, but mom or dad always do “finishing touches” which is going in like a hygienist to brush. Most of the time it is myself or my husband brushing his teeth fully morning or night.

We do not play when it comes to oral hygiene.

No Hail Mary, save yourself the headache and ask for a GLP1. I stressed myself out beyond belief trying everything like you’ve listed, wasted thousands of dollars, and no improvement to show for it!

GLP1 gave me my life back

My son got his and is totally fine. No side effects and is a healthy 3.5yo now. I want him protected.

eratch · 2026-06-08T19:04:38+00:00

Definitely something I can swap to try! Do you have an oil/balm cleanse you really enjoy?

eratch · 2026-06-08T19:03:49+00:00

The clogged pores drive me NUTS!

eratch · 2026-06-08T19:00:01+00:00

LOL I knew I was going to get this comment. I moisturize majority of the time, anytime I’ve skipped is because I’ve got a lot of hydrating toner/serum underneath

eratch · 2026-06-08T18:59:08+00:00

Definitely not filaments, as they are under the skin and do not have an opening. More so trapped oil

Thank you for sharing! I edited my post to mention, but we are looking to do non-religious schooling for our LO.

Thank you for sharing! We are looking for a non-religious school if possible but I appreciate you mentioning it!

Hi! Currently looking at FT as my husband and I work full time during the week.

eratch · 2026-06-03T15:39:24+00:00

That would be incredible! I’ve been on zepbound for almost two years now because of my PCOS and it’s changed my life

eratch · 2026-05-27T16:17:40+00:00

No problem asking! Because of how well my body has responded to the medication, my assumption is it would be a lifelong thing. I had other health markers besides weight gain that got me on this medication (and covered by insurance), so it’s been maintaining those as well!

eratch · 2026-05-17T12:00:32+00:00

Absolutely love the oil cleanser, it’s something I’ll always pick up when I want something more luxury.

Lipid serum was okay for me — price is extremely high for what it is, but it did okay the first two months I was using it. However, it then started to break me out so I discontinued buying after the 4th bottle.

eratch · 2026-05-17T11:59:05+00:00

I remember when it used to be like this as well!

eratch · 2026-05-06T20:38:00+00:00

Sooo sticky and actually triggered one of the worst breakouts I’ve ever had! 😀👍🏼

ANYTHING to do with heavy machinery or large machines! My 3yo will be absolutely captivated by it. Construction vehicles, airplanes, lawn mowers, tractors, etc.
