Pregnancy And Parenting


Recommended Posts

Thinking we're going to go baby led too but I reckon he'll also refuse to sit on a potty! What age did you start training and what signs did you look for?
My wee girl used to go into a different room to fill her nappy. It was quite cool, like she knew she needed a bit of privacy.

We left that for a few months before going for the potty training.

I'd also recommend getting a potty training book and getting them excited about it. It's not something that can be forced.

Make it a big deal, and always keep it light and positive.

Literally two weeks before his third birthday. Potty was in living room And he just used it.

Developing language and also taking them To toilet with you is meant to help. But frankly even at 12, 9 and 7 I still can’t go loo without one them needing to tell me something vitally important!

My wee girl is 4 months now, looking forward to baby led weaning as any time we are eating food near her she's completely fascinated by what's going on. It's like a dog at the dinner table look we get. 

Another interesting development is the rocker chair supposed to used to keep her entertained while we do something productive or eat food has somehow become the designated sh*tting chair. The upside is, handy if she hasn't pooped in a while and maybe transferring this to an actual toilet might be easier as I think she likes it due to the privacy offered.  The downside is if you've just made a tasty curry and then have to change a big shitey nappy before eating it, isn't great.

As long as you don't get the two confused.

Are the rumours true that the second trimester of pregnancy is a bit easier than the first? 

For my wife, of course...

That’s how it went for my wife. First trimester she was nauseous the whole time and spent about a month not being able to eat much other than Rice Krispies and ginger beer. Latter part of the third was sciatica-a-go-go - getting a tennis ball, putting it between your back and a wall and moving up and down by way of massage helped with that. Second was the ‘glowing’ period.

My wife put up quite a sweet post on social media about our daughter being 3 months old and mentioned how she's a good little sleeper now, two of her pals had chime in to tell her "oh that won't last long, enjoy it while it lasts, my daughter doesn't sleep well now etc" f**k off and let us enjoy it! 

Our daughter is breastfed and is now at the stage where she won't poop for a few days, which is nice, but when it does come it's fucking party! We stopped even attempting to use wipes and now just rinse her off under the tap! I say we but it's mostly me as my wife isn't a comfortable handling a load of shite as I am!

No, her grandad has bought her a season ticket already though. She's only ever been a season ticket holder for a team that's top of the league, wee glory hunter!

After a few weeks of threatening it, the wee man has started crawling. He seems to have decided he is some sort of injured soldier, as he tends to settle on one arm and drag himself forward with it in the fashion you’d expect of some poor b*****d who has been shot in the leg.

Strange to watch, but also hilarious. Always his right arm he balances on and the left one hanging down as if he is holding onto his left leg.

I take no reasonability (apart from my home schooling through covid) and shouting to get homework done (which i sit everyday with him).

Mid term exam he scores 98%

10% above anyone in his school.

Proud, yes, very......  

@hk blues you can do it......

PS boy is in P2 plays fitba with the P4 & P5. 

Still tell him not to fight, he gets angry as they are stronger than him.  I'm teaching him words & moves everyday.  

ATM - sorry if anyone doesn't know why I post this. My son was told by his teacher in P1 he can't learn like the Thais as he is a Ferang (foreigner) His scores were shit......

I went and spoke to the head teacher and told them to (get to f**k) he is learning 2 languages  at  the same time, give him time he will catch up....

Great Stuff Slippery P - good on your young lad.  My young lad's 3rd term results were an improvement and he made it to Honours (shite terms which I hate to hear for 8 year olds but hey ho) which equates to about 80-85% I believe.  He's still amongst the bottom group but when I listen in to his classes he is very participative and inquisitive - big plus points IMO.
