Won't pee on the toilet?

Any advice?? We did the three day at home straight to underwear method with our 16 month old after about a month of talking about/reading books about going potty so it wasn't out of the blue. I know that seems early but she is showing all the signs of readiness and signs to tell us she needs to go since she can't say "potty" yet.
So anyway, it failed miserably. She immediately got the hang of it for pooping and two hours in told me she needed to poop, waited till we got to the bathroom and pooped on the toilet BUT she will not pee which I know is backwards from most kids. She will sometimes tell us and then pee as soon as she gets off the toilet, however she does recognize she is peeing and tells us every time. We went back to pullups because she was having tons of accidents every day and have still been taking her to the potty multiple times a day and treating her pullups like underwear.
Any advice on why she seems scared or doesn't want to pee on the toilet but will poop reliably every day? And how to work on it?

yeah we've done all that for the last 3 weeks. Still won't pee on the toilet but will pee immediately after getting off of it, seems like she is scared to pee in it 🤷🏻‍♀️ we've tried treats as well and she has books in there that she gets really excited about, she asks to go sit on the toilet all the time just doesn't actually pee. She also poops on the toilet every day now so I know she understands the process

I just started potty training on Sunday with my 27 month old. She is better at poop than pee too. Personally no idea how you can train a 16 month old though my kid was not even walking at that stage and def couldn’t communicate well enough to think about potty training.

Are you using the adult sized toilet or do you have a small potty to use instead? If no small potty, I'd try that for one so young. Something more her size she can handle on her own. If she pees on the floor/in her clothes just state that fact and state that pee goes in the potty. No shame, just teaching how it works.

So heartbroken I found out my partner is cheating

She posted a bunch of pictures of them together, him in bed kissing her, matching outfits, them at Christmas events etc, hell she has more picture with him than I have of him with the kids in the last year.

I can’t even make sense of it all. We were together 14 years and have kids under 5 including a baby.

I feel like the worst part is the silence. I messaged him a bunch of the photos like wtf how could you do this? How could you be with someone else over a year? He responded with a typo saying “it hasn’t been a year it’s actually been a for a few months”. I don’t know if he meant over a few months or only a few months and it’s driving me insane not to know. He hasn’t opened my messages since Sunday morning. Like umm I’m home alone with babies and my whole world is crashing and you can’t even check your phone? What if there was an emergency? No apology no nothing

It’s a woman I know but hadn’t seen in a few years but our last convo she knew I was pregnant. I messaged her asking how long they been together and how could she date him and flaunt it knowing we had a family and sent pics of our family but she blocked me and changed her page to private. They still follow each other so I don’t think they are broken up but the last post of them was December.


I just can’t believe this. We actually have been doing great in our relationship in the last 3 months things were better than ever. I had zero idea any of this was going on


I hate not knowing if/when he’s coming home? Is he at least coming up with a fake apology or something or will he just be angry and act like he’s done nothing wrong. I can’t believe that was his only response and the typo is driving me mad lol

I haven’t slept or even ate since I found out. I’m so heartbroken we just had celebrated his birthday Saturday with the kids and had such an amazing day out, it was so beautiful our toddler was running around saying daddy daddy daddy which she just learned to say and now I’m just like wtfffffff

Nursery

Hey, My 11month old has been going to nursery since end of January, she does Monday to Friday 9-3. She’s been ill every single week and has completed 3 rounds of antibiotics! She never ends up completing a full week and meaning im off work constantly! Me and my partner also end up catching a bug every week and it’s starting to put a big toll on family life as we are all completely burnt out! She loves to go nursery but I’m seriously thinking of pulling her out as it’s causing so much stress. Is anyone else in the same boat? I’m desperate for advice on what to do for the best. TIA X

Is this an issue or not!?!

Sorry personal/marriage related question!
Me and my husband work together (since having the kids i support in his shop). Today you could see my knicker line through my trousers and he was fuming! He pulled me aside and questioned whether i thought what i was wearing was appropriate and how i could leave the house like that. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I don't think ive ever really been bothered by knicker lines or my clothes might be abit tighter now since having child. Is it really inappropriate to have knicker lines on show? Am i being too chill or is he doing too much?
