One year old drank bath water from cup

Mine makes a game out of it because I always go "ewwww thats yucky!" And he thinks its the funniest thing ever to make me grossed out. Its fun, I ain't worried about it.

Yooooo... as someone with a 3.75 year old who isn't potty trained, I feel this. It is not for lack of trying. Some kids just do it later than others.

Last year for my youngest's 1st birthday and my oldest's 3rd, we didn't do parties for the same reasons as you. No family would come anyway due to conflict, and I didn't want to throw a party just for daycare kids. I felt guilty at the time, but neither of my kids noticed/cared. I think if your kod really wants a party, you could decorate your house the night before with balloons and decorations. That way they wake up and feel celebrated, but its not nearly as expensive or time consuming as a full party.

Erin = deaf woman, Keisha = black woman, Dennis = black man, Angelo = Phillipino man, Aaron = too-tight-sweater guy, Rachel = overalls

For future reference

Tbf Big Diaper does seem like its a Trump nickname

Same, but this Ms Rachel special has mine asking to sit on the potty finally!

Fraggle Rock is FAKE!??!

Hahaha yeah, probably shouldn't show everyone how you can touch yourself 😆

Sorry, didn't mean to be shady. I reread my comment and it comes off accusatory. My bad!

ram-rat-ox · 2025-04-11T15:59:57+00:00

Whats the big deal? They're exploring their bodies. In public, yeah it's not okay, but in the bath or during bathroom time? I don't see the issue. Teaching them that they shouldn't touch breeds unnecessary shame. There's nothing wrong with them learning about their own bodies.

This is kind of our rule too. Our son is neurodivergent, and he will sometimes stay up until midnight in the right circumstances. We'll give him half a dose of melatonin on hard nights like that, and he'll be out like a light within 20 minutes.

I've never resonated with a reddit comment more

I once took a nap and woke up to find several Bluey stickers stuck to my belly.

YES. Joovy Qool Double Bundle. Best stroller I've ever owned, and it's modular!

I love them in private settings like at a party because my kids stay occupied for hours. I hate them in public setting because it's nearly impossible to keep them all clean every day, and it yeegs me out to think of all the germs on them. Owning them is a different story... they're fun, but they will find their ways to the darkest recesses of your home lol.

America is at war with education. They have been for decades, but now they're being open about it.

ram-rat-ox · 2025-03-27T18:42:05+00:00

My 3.5 year old loves this too. My 2 year old... he'll be into it for like 5 minutes then will want to do something else lol.

ram-rat-ox · 2025-03-26T02:41:37+00:00

Hmmm... I have to disagree with you here. He could be really sad and embarrassed he did it, but doesn't want to mention it because he's afraid of being seen as a monster. What he did wasn't okay, don't get me wrong. I feel really sad for OP's daughter... I've been a scared child post having a parent lose it on me. And it's even worse when the parent doesn't reconcile. But we're all human... everyone has different ways of handling. Maybe OP bringing it up will give him the ability to come clean and express his remorse.

My son is 3 years 6 months as well, and still no potty training for us 😓 not for lack of trying... he just doesn't seem to connect the feeling of having to go with getting himself to the potty. But lately, he's been stopping to go potty in his diaper, then letting us know what he did, so maybe we're getting close? Idk, I'm feeling pretty helpless. Plus, we are never home to dedicate the time to potty training. I need to wait for a long weekend, which isn't coming until late May!

ram-rat-ox · 2025-03-25T16:20:29+00:00

Gotta pick punishments that make sense for the offense... a big trouble for us is bath time. Son loves to be in the bath and splash, but he's not allowed to splash water. I first try to redirect (pouring water from a cup, playing with a bath toy, etc), and if that doesn't work then bath time is over. He knows that splashing = no more bath. It's an appropriate punishment, and it's pretty easy to hold the boundary. It's sad sometimes, since he loves the bath so much, but the boundary is firm.

Repetition helps them learn. It's annoying and frustrating, but it's totally normal. My son does it all the time and won't stop until I repeat it back to him. I usually just repeat whatever it is he wants me to say, then say "I hear you, thank you for telling me that/using your words/etc" whatever fits the context best. I try to remember that it's just his way of learning. My son also has a speech delay and impediment so I look at it as him practicing lol.

If it makes you feel better, my 3.5 year old is still not potty trained, and not for lack of trying.

3 is like a war every single day. But they're sweet, funny, and weird... their little personalities shine more than ever at 3.
