I vaguely am aware of them because I think they went to kstate. Or wear kstate gear. it looks like their farm is an hour from my house. Could ask my in-laws if they’ve ever heard of the farm, they farm a bit out in that area.
Really? It’s our real first attempt so going to try it next weekend. Was there anything in particular why it didn’t work but another method did?
Give it a shot. IIRC the ex couldn't stick with it because of patience, both of it taking and patient with the one being trained. Started it way too young IMO. Kids will potty train when they are ready. But don't let my inabilities steer you the wrong way.
this is what we've done for both of ours. totally understand that it doesn't work for most people though.
We did, but our kid was really good about taking herself to the bathroom or letting us know when she had to go. She was ready to potty train, could (mostly) take her pants down and up. She was around 2.5 y/o.
He’s the same. He doesn’t like having dirty pull-ups and will go to the toilet and say he has to potty but it’s after the fact.
last thursday at work got the call my wife was having contractions at 2:45. cut the umbilical cord at 4:01 been a wild week. most importantly my posting hasn’t fallen off and if anything has gotten better? (if such a thing is possible)
My iphone did this sweet little video of my kid in her first year until it showed a pic I sent my wife of me sitting on the toilet trying to take a shit while the kid wrecked havoc in the bathroom.
Anyone have any issues with their son discovering his special purpose? Our 2 (almost 3) yr old has discovered his and won’t stop playing with it. We’re using “hand check” to get him to stop which he also will put his hands in his pull-ups and not play with it so just using the term as a catch all. We don’t want to like give him a complex or anything just want him to learn not to do that so it doesn’t become an issue.
oh man i remember like it was yesterday. my son had his hand down there 80% of the time for like a year. .i think we just told him to go to his room and do it by himself if he wanted to do it and he eventually quit.
That’s kinda what we are wanting to do. Explain he doesn’t need to just do that everywhere and if he wants to go to his room. Basically not wanting to give a negative reaction to it.
That’s what we’re afraid of. That or when he’s at daycare. The teachers are on the same page as us and use “hand check” whenever he has his hands in his pants. He also does it if he’s wet or pooped and will tell us “yucky” and he wants to be changed hence why were are going to try potty training this weekend with just underwear on because from everything we’ve read and heard that’s a cue he doesn’t want to be in pull-ups anymore.
Ours was running around a restaurant patio this weekend then pulled his pants down right in front of another table. Luckily he didn't pull his pull up down. A couple weeks ago he was in the bath and he usually likes to play with cups or the old soap bottles. Fill them up and poor them out. Well...he discovered his penis fits into the open end them got an erection & moving it back and forth. I was not ready for my 142 week old (32.67 Months or 2yrs & 8.67 months for you non Dads) to do that
oh so the two older ones are girls? well good news, not only will your son be fascinated by his genitalia but his sisters will be too. and they'll all find it hilarious.
must be nice. my middle child is pretty well behaved on her own, but my oldest is like a crime boss using the other two as her henchmen. my son is really growing into quite the muscle for her while I believe she's molding my younger daughter into more of a spy type of role in her organization.
Boys are awesome when they are at that age that they're old enough to pee on their own but also young and cute enough to drop trou in public and pee in the grass/on a tree. Most people laugh, any that give looks just quote big daddy
we had to ban ours from wearing pants with pockets for a while because he wouldnt take his hands out.
My 4 and 7 year old boys were helping clean the garage with the shop vac two weeks ago and within about 30 seconds went from realizing it could suck in their shirts to taking turns putting it on their crotch. The same weekend, my 4 year old was about 1/2” from whipping it out and peeing in the middle of the splash pad in our town with a couple hundred people in view. His pants were at his ankles, and the underwear were on the way down when I saw him. We live in the country so he does it at home all the time, but we had a little talk about when and where he could do that.
7 month old has decided he doesn’t want to sleep at night anymore. Been up for the last 4.5 hours and squealing with glee in his crib right now like he hasn’t tired a bit. Don’t think I’ll be very productive at work tomorrow.
From like 2-3 or so our son always claimed that his balls were itchy and made us scratch them for him - we tried everything under the sun to get rid of the itching. I swear he was getting partial baby chub in the process so who knows if it was a ploy since he found his special purpose. To be fair it was always the same spot on his balls that he said was itchy and he would yell out all of a sudden like you do when you get an itch. One day he basically just stopped bringing it up.
My daughter is 5 and, while not beating off in public, does scratch her vag way too often in front of people.
Mrs. Scorpio checking in to skate night: "Hello! I'm Mrs. Scorpio, Hank jr's mom?" Lady at check-in: "Oh, Hank jr. is YOUR child. I subbed for his class yesterday and that boy sure has A LOT to say. He really knows how to get the rest of the class going..." Mrs. Scorpio: knowing that Hank jr has never had an inner monologue thought that he didn't share out loud "Yeah... I don't really doubt any of that"
As of Tuesday night I can now be a poster in this thread. My wife and I just had our first kid and it was a boy. Just read this page and was cracking up at some of the things I’ll probably be dealing with over the next few years.
For those of you with male kids. How do you stop them from getting pee every where. We have tried sitting, standing, using a seat for thr toilet. It’s a 50/50 shot if I’m gonna find pee everywhere
I literally read this right after my son came downstairs to tell me he got pee everywhere in the upstairs bathroom. So yeah I could use some help too.
For us he’d piss all over because he’d get distracted and turn to look at something so we turned it into a game with Cheerio targets in the bowl. *hes 16 now and it’s still a fucking mess in his bathroom
