I have done 🫠🫠
I’m hoping by the end of the week he’ll have done one.
I went in at the end of the day to try and he stood over it fine and was happy to do it so just think he didn’t need one
I’m trying to stay positive. The teachers are being supportive which is good. One of them was trying this morning with him
Do they know he wants to do it standing? Maybe if they aren’t offering him that choice he feels uncomfortable.
Yes I’ve told them. They’ve tried a few diff ways and I think that is the problem. Confusing him a little.
Crap mum alert. Long day at work, on my own with both kids as Mr B is out (whole different story there) and I rushed through bath, story and bed because I want to get my jobs done and get to bed myself.
I kind of hate my self for nights like this but know I'll go mad if they don't get to bed on time.

Ugh I feel you on the long day at work thing. It’s sometimes so mentally draining being at work and then coming home and having to be a happy mum isn’t it.
you Still read Them a story you’re not a bad mum for wanting to sit down after a long day. Your kid(s) won’t think anything of it I’m sure. You still put them to bed and read to them. Don’t be so hard on yourself hun
Where’s ur partner
Things my three year old has had a meltdown over today.
She has hair on her legs.
Her blood doesn’t have hair.
She has lines on her palm.
The lines are itchy.

Hey guys looking for some advice please…my 13mo still loves her formula bottles I’m finding it difficult to wean her off and onto cows milk. My eldest seemed to just prefer cows milk and my 7yo was ebf so never had this before.
How long have the meltdowns been lasting
Also I think mine is finally getting there with toileting. Twice since we got home from nursery he has took my hand and took me to the potty to help him get his shorts down
Still having accidents at nursery tho
and won’t wee for them but they are being good about itGuys I'm sorry to jump on this thread out of nowhere. My little boy will be 2 in September and I think he terrible twos have started 
. He's always been a hair puller, when he was a tiny baby grabbing he loved hair and fur etc. For a while he stopped but now it's back with vengeance. He creeps up behind me, his dad, grandma, aunties etc and just grabs hard both hands at the scalp and literally yanks clumps of hair out. We prose him off, he is told firmly no, we do not pull hair. And then ask him to show how to be gentle and he does do his 'gentle hands'. I've had a few times where I've really shouted and him and walked to the other side of the room because he's hurt me so bad I've been so angry. Nothing we do seems to work, he gets this feral look in his eyes and just yanks. He's also started biting, scratching and nipping recently too. Every time I tell him 'No, we do not grab/bite/pull. We need to use our gentle hands'. I know this is likely just a phase but I was just looking for any advice/reassurance really and to see if there is a better way to handle it? We had a play date the other day and he did it my friends little girl, pulled on her hair. I felt soooo bad. My mum thinks I should be properly shouting at him and telling him he's naughty but that's not really my style, then again, what I'm doing doesn't seem to be working!

She goes 3 days atm and I think in winter it’s just crap finding stuff to do that isn’t rinse and repeat! She would benefit from the 9-3 day there but I just can’t shake off my guilt about potentially sending her. I won’t be doing an extra day at work or anything like that cos there’s no point, I’d just pay whatever I earn in tax and NI! Just urghhhhhhh 
I know she will benefit and it’s ONLY 9-3 not like 7:30-5:30… it’s fine isn’t it?! 
(dramatic) it would only be term time and from October to June once the nice weather comes and we can be out all day.

If you feel it would benefit her and you 100% do it. My son does term time only (3 year funding) for 3 afternoons a week. I've asked to book him in once a week throughout the summer holidays because A. I'm pregnant and could do with a morning to myself B. I have weekly hospital appointments so need childcare anyway and C. I really don't think he'd cope well with having 6 weeks off and then going straight back into 3 afternoons a week. It's not as if you're having her in 8am-6pm 5 days a week just for you to doss around at home.So I’m thinking of sending mini A an extra day in October.

That’s true thanks both. It would just give me some time to get all the jobs done that need doing and I wouldn’t probably feel as stressed out. There’s always scope for me to do overtime at work if I get busy too. She would benefit from it massively, going into pre school in September and it probably won’t make the leap from 3 days at nursery to 5 days at school seem that bad.. I just have mum guilt and feel mean I’m shipping her off

🥹Not long, not even meltdowns really just very upset about itHow long have the meltdowns been lasting

Still having accidents at nursery tho
I think it’s normal for them to refuse at preschool. It took my daughter a while to be able to ask to be taken to the toilet and my friends daughter was the same.
Thanks pal - needed that. Big Biscuit is totally doing that bedtime delaying thing at the moment and deciding to show me a gazillion drawings when it's time to brush his teethUgh I feel you on the long day at work thing.

Where’s ur partner
Partner was at a re-arranged outing. Just having a grump as he's just back from working away. I'm always more tired handling kids on my own on top of the usual.
I had a night out of my own last week but that was the first in a while!
Mine hasn’t had a wee accident today!! Good right. But he still hasn’t had a wee at nursery
So I’ve decided in September when Mini A starts pre school, I’m changing nurseries. Her current nursery wanted £550-600-680 some months (it depends on how many weeks is in a month and other things) (approx) for 4 days a week, 7:30am to 5:45pm, I want to up my hours at work and do 26 instead of 22.5 and have 12-5:45pm on a Thursday to get stuff done and jobs that need doing.. the way her current nursery charges is stupid.
The new nursery, good reviews, I know a few kids that go there from her old nursery, good ofsted rating (not that it matters TOO much).. £406 a month for 4 days. What a bargain! I’m going to look round next Thursday with her too.
I’m not too concerned about changing her nursery, kids are adaptable and I’ll tell her she’s changing nursery cos she’s a bigger girl and I’m gunna buy her a new backpack etc too!

My son has been in pants for nearly 2 weeks now and never does a wee at nursery. He's there 1-6pm 3 times a week. They keep putting him on the potty but he doesn't do anything, then on the walk back home he's desperate for a wee. So frustratingMine hasn’t had a wee accident today!! Good right.

My god I’m glad!!!! It can’t be good for them surely. He’s there 9-3!! He did a wee at 530!!! And then he did two more before bed and I just checked on him before and his night time nappy has got wees in it already I’m gonna have to change it before I go to bedMy son has been in pants for nearly 2 weeks now and never does a wee at nursery.

In a way I’m glad he didn’t have any accidents but I don’t want him to be holding his wee all day
