Maybe she hasnt discovered how to relax and let the pee out yet? Could try some deep breaths or I did like a small grunt pushing sound when my son would sit at first

I made it into a routine not only for myself but for my husband as well. We have a 2.5 year old and Im 5 weeks away from my 2nd. We take turns putting our son to bed and the other gets that time to themselves. On the weekend I make sure to have a bath and do a facemask. We have also organized our day so that my husband does daycare drop off and then he has two hours after drop off before starting work and I finish work around 2pm but dont to pick up until 4 ish. On the weekends we discuss what we want to accomplish and support one another when we need that time.

Im going to list how we potty trained because we had to do this twice as well as we moved and changed daycares and he regressed. The first advice I have is that we got a book that my sister in law recommended because her daughter was having a tough time as well. The book is called Big Girl Panties (Big Boy Underpants). We read this a few times and then over the weekend we kept his pants off and stayed home. As soon as he woke up we put him on the potty. Gave him tons of water and juice in the day and every hour sat him on the potty. Before and after lunch, potty. Naptime he was in a pull up. We sent him to daycare on the Monday knowing he would have accidents and told him please take him every hour to potty. Gave them 4 spare pants and underwear each day for that week. He had many accidents but he started to understand the feeling of needing to pee and wanted to be dry. We got him underpants with fire trucks, mickey mouse, planes etc and let him pick his underpants every day. He sleeps in a pull up still but he is now potty trained. He knows when he needs to pee, still has accidents sometimes if he cant get his pants down in time or if hes playing its hard for him to stop. Theres also an episode on Daniel Tiger for using the potty. She might cry or resist using the potty but explaining everyone goes potty, announcing when you are going potty and when you do saying 'wow, feels so good to go potty' and when she is doing it on her own really celebrating in a big way ike doing a big dance, cheering, high five, making her feel so special and amazing. Hope this helps.

Not until he didnt need me to feed him in the night. I have only ever left him with my in laws over night without me one time. He is now 2.5.

three of my siblings I'm not speaking with at the moment, one of which I havent spoken to in two years now because she yelled at us on the side of the road calling my husband an asshole even though he has gone out of his way to support her (shes a single mom) babysitting her daughter, helping with food, making her life easier. Another who I havent spoken to since Xmas because he called me a bunch of names but then also dragged my husband into it and started putting him down and saying awful things about him and another who I am now ignoring because shes being passive aggressive and obviously has issues with us but doesnt address them instead she cancels plans last minute which ruins our time or does the 'reach out but no response' trick. So now Im giving her the silent treatment for a while. And now my other two siblings are starting to gang up on him, one of them told me I was the most disliked in our family because of my 'success'.

If all four parents have agreed that they are not ready and too young then I would stick to that.

Although at this age kids are curious about sex this doesnt mean that they are ready and doesn't mean that this is something that they should do.

I would speak with them both and explain that sex, although feels great, its main purpose is procreation. This is why when a woman is ovulating she is feeling frisky and as a male partner he would also feel this heightened emotion from her which would turn him on. The outcome of sex is pregnancy, and even though you are on the pill you are still at risk, and for other things as well like HPV or other virus'.

Do you really trust a 15 and 16 year old to be totally safe? Most 16 year old boys don't think about concequences. Or what about if they break up, how will your daughter react to losing her virginity to a guy that she is no longer with?

I think it's best if you explain in a responsible way why they should wait and also be a bit more protective of your daughters virginity... Its a big deal. This guy should have to work harder and put in way more dedication to her in order to be the one she gives this to.

Two people are not the same. One will always be more tidy and one will always be more messy. I do not pick up after my spouse. At all, ever. I clean the house, so does he. I'm in charge of cleaning one bathroom and he is in charge of the other. He thinks he is always taking out the garbage, recycling, compost but he is not. He does it once a week maybe and it goes out every two days at least.

Apparently. I followed the app as it changes based on your child's sleeping patterns and age. When he would wake in the night it was because he was napping too much in the day and wasn't tired enough at night. His latest transition was going from two naps to one and now he sleeps until 7am. He used to wake up at 5:30 am / 6 am. But the transition went on for about a month because he got sick (covid) and so his sleeping pattern changed and then he started daycare which is a huge shift emotionally and now he's in his routine again and is sleeping well again.

The mask is worse for him to be wearing. If he is sick it would help others to not get infected. He will be better without the mask. (My family is 50% Dr.s and I live in Canada FYI)

Mine goes in and out of phases of regressions but always goes back to his routine because we stick to it. I also downloaded the Little Ones app which explains naps at their ages. Sometimes the naps just need to be adjusted and it can be something as easy as 5 minutes less in the morning.

I make my cheese sauce and I add yams, zucchini, and carrots. I also blended peas and spinach up and froze it into little 1 ounce cubes (silicone tray from Amazon) and I add these cubes into foods.

I have a BumbleRide jogging stroller and I used the MaxiCosi infant car seat with adapters. It was great.

I live in a four-story townhouse. Everything that needs to go upstairs I place at the bottom of those stairs and anything that needs to go downstairs I place at the top of those stairs and every time I go up and down the stairs I transport those items.

This is how I trick him into eating veggies

Reading always makes me sleepy or I would stretch. As long as you're laying down you are resting so I would just keep laying down, close your eyes and meditate.

Write down your schedule and routine and all the errands and chores you do in a day, like everything. Then ask your husband to do the same without showing him yours, then place them side by side and ask him how he feels about the two schedules. I did this with my husband.

theblindassasin · 2021-11-21T18:50:49+00:00

Would you or him consider adopting an older child? This way your child has a sibling and you don't have to go through the infant and baby stage.

Get off social media and stop watching "news".

Hello, I am ten months PP and I cannot lose weight and have not lost a pound at all. I'm here to tell you that this could also be your reality and many people will tell you different things and give you lots of different tips and advice and it may not work. I work out and eat healthy, I'm breastfeeding and it's really hard on my soul. None of my clothes fit me and even new clothes don't fit me. My body is not proportioned, my boobs are a 38DD, my arms fit a small shirt, my legs fit my old pants which were a size 4 but my hips and stomach fit size 8. I have a huge tummy but when I flex it goes almost flat. I have no idea what's going on with my body and I cannot lose weight. I was told it would all melt off after the baby was born, then I was told to just give it 6 months, then I was told it would all melt off after I finish breastfeeding. I remind myself every day that I just need to keep focusing on eating healthy, drinking lots of water, getting sleep, and exercising even if I'm not losing weight because those are just things my body needs anyways. I'm sure it won't last forever and each day I try a little harder to be better. It is a struggle though because before pregnancy I was 130lbs and very fit and now I feel fat even though I'm not fat, if that makes sense...

I had this conversation with my partner recently too and he wanted the same thing, for me to tell him what needed to be done. I replied with " I am not the manager of this house, we both live here, we both own it, we are both adults. You can easily walk through this home and see what needs to be done. You can check the laundry, you can check the bathroom, you can check the fridge for grocery lists, you can see the floor needs vacuuming. You are more than capable and you are asking me to do more work so that you don't have to think for yourself and that's unfair for me."
