@thecavemommy I dunno if this would work for you but we started by going to the potty right before bed and immediately after waking. Once we noticed the diaper was dry overnight regularly we dropped the pull-ups. had about two or three accidents and then she was fully potty trained overnight.
@rawmilkhoney Tour a hospital and ask questions. The hospital Iโve given birth at twice was great. My husband was well informed of the things I wanted and he was my advocate. Itโs not always terrible.
Just read the tweet of a tragic house fire caused by the electric scooter. My husband installed these automatic fire suppressors over his 3D printer. Please consider installing these if you have that, electric bike/scooter, charging batteries for lawn equipment. My heart aches.
The woman has stage 4 lung cancer. I thought for sure someone would visit. No one has. The man told me once he wished they had never moved. Iโm sure they had decent reasons at the time but I didnโt press him on it. They garden but most days I see them watching tv in their garage.
You can have children and still age alone. I sit to talk to my neighbors every couple weeks. Theyโre in their 70s, have big families and yet decided to move away to retire. In the 4 years Iโve lived next door they have never had family visit them. Kids/gkids too busy
"More Americans Are Aging Alone. One Woman Told Us What Itโs Like."
Very interesting article in the WSJ (link later) about the near inevitable life arc of women who choose to be single & childless. Her 20s & 30s were great!

Hot take but if your toddler is scream crying at swim school maybe theyโre just not ready and they need swim practice with a parent until comfortable in the water . Watching a 2 year old freak out and being soothed by instructors for half an hour breaks my heart.
