@legendairymomma GIRL. Let me tell you about pull-ups. I love them and they allow us precious sleep. Boys are notoriously harder to night potty train and I wouldn’t worry about it for a second. My DS turns 5 in February and he’s still in pull ups at night. A few months ago I tried putting him in those ultra absorbent night undies but it just didn’t work. He’d wake up soaked every night and then need new pj’s. So we’re back to pull ups for the time being and it’s totally fine. If they’re not ready they’re not ready. 

Also — he totally runs into our bed at like 3am every night. Meh. I’d rather sleep than fight him on it so I say no shame in that game either.

@Legendairy Hello, person living my parallel life. My 4 year old son is in pull-ups and sleeps with me. I love sleep and hate washing linens. It’s a win win! 

Also, thanks for the kind words, friends. I’m overwhelmed by the support. You ladies know how to pick someone up when they’re down. Love this community so much 💗

@bows22 we like to go to the theater that has the reclining seats so that it give my ds space to stand and walk a little if she wants. But she does so well with movies. 

Pulls are great and I don’t mind her being in them. That saying, she soaked her sheets last night. I also don’t get why my husband saw that and did not pull her sheets from the bed. She has a waterproof sheet on her bed, but you can still pull them from the mattress. I truly don’t get men many times.

@duck_duck_goose That's some shit with the flooding. Like others have said, here's to hoping that it's an easy fix and you can have your FUNCTIONING house back.
@bows22 I'm glad we're okay too. It was a terrifying thing to go through.
@kpearse It's definitely a nice breath to be able to track my cycles while I'm benched. Thank you for the positive thoughts for surgery! Hopefully everything works out and we'll only be in the hospital a couple of days. I have my fingers crossed for your IUI!!
@krystrist2014 I had an IUD before TTC my youngest as well, so I'm happy to answer questions for you too!

@blackgirlmagic My husband suggested throwing away a brand new outfit and brand new full bedding set after our 1.5yo had a bit of a poop disaster... I don't understand men either. Hopefully the potty training gets easier. We didn't have my oldest night trained until about a year ago (4.5) and that was just because we were really on him about it once he was in school. I still keep pull ups around just in case. No shame in that game.

When I told my husband to take the sheets off of her bed her only took off the top fitted sheet and not the waterproof sheet 🤬😡 WTF is wrong with him. Why would you just not grab both freaking sheets at the same time.

@blackgirlmagic because you apparently have to be VERY specific with men for them to understand what you need them to do.
