My 2nd daughter was just like this she would pee just fine in the potty. She would get off the toilet and IMMEDIATELY poop in her underwear/pull-ups she did not care. I really don’t remember what exactly finally clicked with her but it was extremely frustrating and just know you aren’t alone.

 

100% Accurate.

Lots of frustration and losing my cool for certain. Definitely not some of my best parenting moments.

I know at one point we would make her dump the poop in the toilet and have her flush it herself and wipe herself. I want to say that maybe after a week or so of that she got better at not going in her pants and gradually got better after that.

 

Trending in the right direction as of now. He's so pumped I think that I think that either way we'll still have the party. It's 2 hours of fun and then he can crash out the rest of the day, haha

 

Do you have a portable training potty that you can put anywhere in the house? We used these with both my kids when we were potty training and it helped a ton. We would have them sit on it while watching TV or something just to get them used to sitting on the toilet and then eventually they'd start using it and then we'd slowly take them away and let them know they have to use the normal toilet now.

Also, when you say diaper, do you mean pull-ups? If you are in training, she should be wearing underwear during the day and pull-ups at night so it's easy for her to take off and pull back on. And so she realizes there is a difference between diaper and underwear/pull-ups because up until now, she has only ever known to pee/poop in a diaper, so if she's wearing a diaper at night, that may automatically trigger her to think in her old ways.

 

Daycare closed so had the day with I-man - asked him what he wanted to do and he said ice cream lol who cares if it’s 22 degrees

 

Every time my daughter gets a cold, she ends up coughing herself into throwing up. At first we were worried it was a stomach flu on top of the cold but it happens so consistently that it must just be because of the cold. Anybody deal with this? Does it ever stop?

 

My 2.5 son does that, yes. With him, I'm pretty sure it's because he doesn't know how to blow his nose so the phlegm and snot get trapped in his throat and the coughs dislodge it into throwing up. He usually feels much better after

 

Yes, she also doesn't know how to blow her nose

 

One thing you can do, if you aren't too quesy about it, is take a look and smell at the throw up. Phlegm will be more clear and won't really smell. Throw up from sickness where the stomach is emptied is usually thicker and super stinky

 

My 3 year old likes to make himself throw up because he thinks it’s funny

 

Don't tell him I said it, but that IS funny

to me

 

Mine does this so I took her to the doctors about it and he said it's just because their throats are so delicate when they're small it can easily trigger their gag reflex. There doesn't seem to be much you can do about it other than wait for them to grow out of it. Its the worst though.

 

Is your 3 year old Chris Pontius

 

Might be on his way

 

Here to confirm the Terrible Twos are fucking terrible

 

Hate to break this to you, but in my experience 3 is even worse.

 

100%

 

daughter just turned 3, nice

 

Three-nager is very real

 

My son will be 4 in April (when my daughter is due) and he seems to be shaking the threenager shit finally

 

Yeah thankfully as they creep closer to 4 it gets slightly better.

my 9 year old and 6 year old attitudes though are definitely something

 

Oooh this! Mine are currently 9 and 6 and oooohooohooo somebody help me…
