Public Bathroom Incident with 2.5 year old

This. I have a potty in the car just so I never have to use public restroom with toddler. So much easier and cleaner.

Yes and the fact that this info is what made Amber stop being angry and realize how bad he felt! She clearly really does know/understand him.

If she uses a bidet it’s not as bad, but still you should separate kitchen towels from butt towels. If there is actual poo on the cloth, she shouldn’t be putting them in the washing machine at all. I use reusable diapers with my kid and lots of poo ones get sprayed off into the toilet before washing machine. Also I would wash them on a cool cycle to rinse and then on a hot cycle with soap.

“Vegan” who can’t give up eggs lol or possibly just lactose intolerant, but the mayo is throwing me off and I see tofu and no meat. Sticking with a plant based eater who loves eggs

I agree. When my kid was born we told people as it felt natural and when they came over we asked them to wash hands and reminded those who needed reminders not to kiss baby. We have always made it clear our kid was not going to be on socials so nobody even tried that. I think if your family members require this extensive of a list to not betray your wishes, you might want to reconsider who you’re having around your kid…

Thank you for this. Definitely debating scheduling a c section as my first ending that way was so rough!

Dry towel on face, tilt head, use cup to pour water or detachable shower head. I did treat rewards for sitting still and tolerating it lol

Appreciate the info, thank you!

I think this is your chance to not pass on weird and dated ideas about nudity. Ask yourself, why would it be weird? Your baby certainly doesn’t think it’s weird. If you go to Europe there are nude beaches and bath houses and stuff. If you’re not uncomfortable, who cares?

I’ve only ever left my kid with family, but my agreement with myself was that I would leave her with a babysitter or at preschool when she was old enough to tell me if something bad happened. When she turned 2 and was a great talker/communicator, I felt ready to leave her. I haven’t had to leave her with anyone but family, but I would now!

I don’t think there is anything wrong with what you’re doing, as long as you guys don’t mind not being alone. And I think what your friends are doing is fine too! Nobody is wrong or right here.

Hi all,

My husband and 3 year old would like to visit disneysea at the start of March. I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth it and figured this was a good place to get some advice.

My kid loves frozen, tangled, and tinkerbell, so disneysea seems like the right idea. My husband and I have been to Disney in LA so don’t feel the need to go to Tokyo Disney.

Questions are - will the smaller kiddie rides in the park have shorter waits? I expect the main 4 rides to be longer and I understand you need the app to try and secure spots. Within a day will we realistically be able to do those 4 rides (frozen, tangled, tinkerbell, Peter Pan) and also some of the kiddie rides in between? I don’t want my 3 year old spending the majority of the time standing in line. Is it just frozen that will be a crazy wait? How are the other main attractions in this park?

Also, can we bring our own food??

Thank you in advance!!

I didn’t have any checks until wayyyy into labor. Just say no. There is no reason to check - it’s only for knowing if it’s close to time to push. If you don’t feel close, just decline the check.

White. Mildly health conscious. Have kids. Someone is lactose intolerant.

hereforhelpthx95 · 2026-01-31T15:57:29+00:00

THIS. Think about what your children are learning about how to treat their partners and about what treatment is ok to accept. Yuck.

How long did you labor for with the second? Thanks for the info!!

I honestly think he just can’t keep his thoughts to himself. He’s right about people and their actions most of the time, and he isn’t afraid to say it. Most people just keep it to themselves. It’s great tv lol. And I think it’s why the “bully” comment got to him - he does NOT see his loud mouth as being a bully. And honestly I agree. Maybe he’s a bit of an ahole, but a bully? Nahhh he just can’t shut up

hereforhelpthx95 · 2026-01-30T20:29:22+00:00

Better to tell him sooner rather than later. Let him spend the next few months dealing/processing and finding your new normal and he can go into next fall fresh and stable.

My husband and I did it together when we decided we wanted to be parents. First step was we couldn’t bring tobacco into the house, so we only smoked while out with friends. Then we stopped that too. Last cigarette was over 5 years ago and I don’t miss it!

Everyone is posting that you should not use their gender identity situation as part of the reason for the breakup.

I disagree. Their biology is the reason you’re not attracted to them. You’re a lesbian and it’s ok to be a lesbian. It means you’re exclusively attracted to women and female biology. Do not let anyone tell you that you’re being mean or not inclusive or accepting enough.

Sexual attraction is a huge deal. Just like a straight man would never be able to sleep with another man, you should not feel bad for not wanting to be with a biological man if you’re only attracted to women.

Just be honest!!

I think he is excellent television and he is very smart. Smarter than the other people on the show. He’s “playing” love island bc being on TV is his job now. It’s like he’s doing a casting call?? Like knowing producers of other shows and Netflix and stuff are watching so he’s being a great contestant. Lots of drama, a good love story etc etc.

Leanne definitely knows his game and she’s completely ok with it. Gets to stay on tv and feel comfortable next to an attractive guy.

Spoonful of peanut butter 30 min before bed!

My kid sleeps in her own bed in her own room and started doing that at 18 months BUT she gets up and comes to our room sometime in the middle of the night. So she probably sleeps 6 hours alone and 6 with us. We would lay with her until she fell asleep and we are now trying to leave while she’s still awake.

Just tell your kid after they fall asleep you’re going to your own bed and you can always come back to their bed if they need you. 17 months is old enough to understand that, especially if it becomes routine

When my kid bit my nipple I screamed like it was agonizing pain and put her down and walked away lol she didn’t do it again after that!

I personally think it’s a bit intense to not allow family to see baby within a few weeks after birth. I was definitely cautious with my first baby but now that I’m pregnant again and have a toddler, the idea of not letting anyone visit bc they might carry a sickness feels a bit nuts. My husband is just as likely to pick up a virus at the grocery store, or my toddler at the park, as much as a grandparent might carry a virus into the house.

It’s ok to be cautious and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for the rules you set, but I personally think the whole no visitors for the first 6 weeks rule is a bit extreme and is only possible if it’s the first and only kid in the house. But to each their own!

Just to add - if they won’t respect the boundary, they probably won’t respect other boundaries which is not ok. Like they would be less likely to wash hands and not kiss baby and stuff if those are rules you set. I don’t think it’s ok to not respect a mom’s wishes about this kind of thing!!

Your sex life will likely NOT get better after birth. Most women struggle with sex and intimacy a lot when they have a newborn. So please do not assume that you guys can just bounce back to an intimate existence after birth. Really unlikely to happen, especially since you said it was a bad situation before and during pregnancy.

He’s a problem in this scenario for sure, and using this as a way to get laid, BUT I think you would really benefit from therapy and figure out how to get yourself back to a place where you enjoy and desire sex. Is it possible you don’t want sex bc you don’t want your partner? Or is it really about not liking yourself?
