Potty training

My 3 year old is potty trained and does great at home. But when we go out in public he does not want to go to the public restrooms at all and throws a tantrum. It’s hard for him to remove himself when he’s busy playing to go potty. How do I make going out in public restrooms easier??? Help!

My freakin question would be htc you potty trained for home in the first place. Ive tried everything on google and took advice from others. My daughter just wont go. Not only does she have issues pulling her pants off but even naked she doesnt run to the potty until after shes already gone. Ive tried being naked, her going to the potty with me, training, panties, regular panties, etc lol

My 3 year old son is scared of public restrooms also. I have to keep telling him that everyone is doing poopie and peepee and that it's ok. I go in the stall and hold him on the potty while I squat down so he can hug me around my neck. That's the only way he'll go.
I think it might help if you bribe him or let him bring a small toy in there. I'm not sure but my son loves washing his hands (aka playing in the sink with soap) so I just promise him after he goes potty we can wash hands. Maybe there's something similar you can do with your son to make him see the restroom as a positive place.

Momma you're not alone! My Son is 3 and will do great naked at home. Will only pee at daycare, won't tell them he has to go or wants to go. Underwear he just wears wet. He also will not stop when playing to remove himself to go potty either. I have tried all kinds of bribes so has daycare.

3 year old saying teachers hit him at daycare

My son started daycare at 2, he is now 3 and shakes with fear and cries at daycare drop off. He doesn’t want to go and when I ask him why, he says his teacher is mean to him and that she hits him in the back. I put a lot of thought in choosing this daycare. There is one particular teacher that he always says is mean to him. However, there is another teacher that he likes, and he specifically asks for her and is ok to be with her. Could this be true that his teacher hits him? Should I bring it up to the daycare management? Have your children said something similar and it turned out to be true? My husband thinks he is saying this to get out of going to daycare. My son is very attached to me and wants to spend every second of the day with me. He won’t even let his dad do anything for him, it’s always mommy. My heart is breaking. I don’t want to strain our relationship with the daycare, but is it appropriate to bring up my concerns and tell them that my son says he is being hit at daycare? Sorry, it’s a little bit of a rant. Please respond with your thoughts on what you would do.

Advice please

I am in a longterm relationship with a drug addict, he takes K daily to help his anxiety.. apparently.. he doesn’t go over the top and get absolutely out of it, but it is a worry. He owes me £6000, he is in major debt.
We have a 2 year old together and I have been thinking of leaving for a long time, i don’t know why i can’t make the move. The house is in my name, we will not be homeless because he would leave.
I just always hope he would quit, but I just don’t see it happening.
I also worry that his dad will want to see him and be doing drugs or drinking, i know we can have someone there to watch him but i don’t trust his family to watch him as they would let him get away with it 😔
I feel so stuck.

Do kids learn more in nursery or childminders ? Debating where to put my child 😭

Help pleaseee from your experience

Would you allow you child to gift their toys to their best friends?

I haven’t yet had this happen yet but our daughter is a very caring and thoughtful little human and may decide to do this eventually. And I’ve heard of this happening with other children. If your child gave away a toy and then wanted it back(after a long amount of time) how would handle it.
A) Would you get them a new one that looks the same.
B) Explain that when we give people gifts we don’t take them back because that’s rude.
C) Go to the parents and get it back.

Is it cheating?

Husband hasn't been able to have sex with me or cuddle in almost a year. No hello/goodbye kiss. Basically no contact order ig. Today I find hes been following and frequently visiting a sexual FB page and its purely sex content. There were other searches as well. Atp we are married (2 years and 4 years together) we have two kids 3 and 2. He claimed in the past he was ashamed of jerking off and would stop and blah blah.

AITAH?

My husband’s therapist told him to start doing an exercise with me and tell me one thing every day that he’s gained in the last 3 years.

His first response yesterday was our daughter his first born.

I got upset that this was his first response. His defense was that his kids come first and always. Which okay wasn’t fully expecting him to say me or anything BUT we have 2 other kids and he didn’t say the kids he named her specifically.

I get she’s his first born but he spoils her rotten she’s always getting new stuff and toys and things and the other girls really don’t granted my oldest is always getting in trouble and usually grounded and our youngest is still a baby but I can’t help but feel like she’s his favorite and shows it loudly. She’s even his screen saver just her and him.

Am I wrong to have gotten annoyed/upset? I told him I just didn’t think that was gunna be his answer.

Idk maybe I’m taking it out of proportion 🤷🏻‍♀️
