Is this all about me! Fuck. This is the exact reason why I've stayed away from these boards.

Amie, out.

Guilty conscience?

In other news, my DS wore undies the whole day at school today :x Proud Fucking mama right here. He had one accident, but only after 2 days of wearing undies, I am pretty impressed.

PSA: wait till they are ready, don't push it early.

Someone asked me if Wesley was PT'd yet. I had him bare butt in the living room for 10 minutes the other day and he peed all over his toys and walked right through it without ever stopping to look like something was strange about the situation. Uh no, not ready.

pineconey · September 2014

My DD pulled a handful of poop out of her diaper the other day. I sure as shit hope she's ready, because I don't want to handle that mess for the next few months!

MamaFantastic · September 2014

^^ hilarious. i'm trying not to wake the baby with my muffled laughter.

BOOOOOOO east coast time zone! i'm a glutton for punishment.

::the internet will still be here during your 2am feeding, MF.... it will still be here::

BIG accomplishment! The teachers in DD's room still want her in pull-ups because she will still go in her pull-ups...because they feel like diapers to her! I know if she went in undies, she might have an accident or two, but then she'd be golden (she doesn't have accidents at home and she goes to the potty with everyone in her class which is about every 30 min).

I'm just not sure how / when to push the ladies in charge for undies. I don't want to be Pushy Mom, especially since I know she probably will have an accident before finding her voice in class. But I don't want her to be used to just going whenever because a pull up feels like a diaper.

TL; DR: The People Pleaser in me is conflicted about PTing at school

MamaFantastic · September 2014

kiddo has JUST night trained this week. he's 4 1/4. thank the good Lord! silly boy has been fully day trained for 2 full years now, but the nights were much slower to come about. even now, we still wake him when we are going to bed and make him do a dream pee.

AcaAwkward · September 2014

I fully expect this to be DD, @MamaFantastic‌ -- she still poops in her sleep 85% of the time! And is consistently pretty soaked in the minding!

RedDawnsRevenge · September 2014

The dream pee is fantastic.

fireflygirl12 · September 2014

At our daycare they have the Toddler room for 1-2 and then they have the "2's" room. I asked if Wesley moves up to 2's on his birthday (this month) and they told me he moves there when he's ready to start PTing. Apparently they take that class to the toilet every 30 minutes and they don't have a changing table in there. He's pretty advanced for his age in other areas and one of the oldest in his class. I definitely don't want to push him to PT, but it seems like that's what all the other parents are doing as soon as their kids turn 2. Now he's going to be stuck with a bunch of younger kids for who knows how long. I just hope I'm doing the right thing.

What about cloth training undies?

We actually used cloth on her for the first year. We had to stop because her skin is ridiculously sensitive to moisture and she got terrible rashes

Even now, if she wears a swimsuit too long (she was reliable enough on the potty to ditch swim dipes this year) = big time rash. It's a bummer, because I love cloth and think the trainers would otherwise be great! Also not sure they would do cloth at school even though it wouldn't be a true diaper situation.

MamaFantastic · September 2014

i have to hold him up by his armpits while he stands at the toilet! he basically stays fully asleep the whole time, eyes closed, everything. but he pees on command. it's awesome. last night i let go of him for a second in the hallway and he almost walked into the wall.

poor, sweet kiddo. oh how you make me laugh at all hours of the night

AcaAwkward · September 2014

Man, nothing puts the kibosh on Dramz like Good Ol' Potty Training Talk!

Shit on the toilet, toddlers of the world! It's good for morale!

MamaFantastic · September 2014

hi poppy! i see you hardcore lurking!

BiggerinRealLife · September 2014

Okay, enough beating around the bush. I'll say it: @Poppyseedwindsor, I don't believe you.

I HATE to say this. I've been on your side from the beginning. But along the way, things started to not add up. I thought it was just me, but from reading the board here, apparently not. When you announced your BFP I was already skeptical and hoped it wouldn't come to this, and that you'd show us a beautiful US in a few weeks. But something kept nagging me: what if...? And now a loss story with details and language that make little sense. I'm gonna feel like the biggest jerk in the world if this is all real, and I apologize if it is. But it's taken me a few hours and a few glasses of wine to say what I think a lot of us are thinking: your stories just don't add up. Across the board.

I think you need help. And as a person who wants to see the best in people, I really hope you seek it out. Either for amplifying or manufacturing the details of your life, or, if it's real, because you've been through a lot. Either way, I think help is needed.

Go ahead, A14! Flame me. I expect some pitchforks, as Poppy is one of our beloved, but I have a LOT of respect for PGAL moms, and all this just hurts too much to read without saying something.

And thus the RTT was broken. Camp Poppy vs. the rest of us."

oh shit just got real and I am still potty talking !

(eta see what I did there... sort of)

Potty Training Talk is a sickness. In order to avoid things like FB status updates proclaiming potty success (shudder), I'll just force Internet strangers to talk Potty Shop with me.

Okay. I'm done. Back to current events. @BiggerinRealLife‌ for President!

avidkeo · September 2014

@Biggerinreallife, I applaud you for just coming out and saying it. The half comments etc are awful and make things worse.

I am not on a side at all.

Lets let this go and continue the usual poop conversations.

PS is your dog out of the dog box yet? Literally and figeratively!

Camp Poppy vs. the rest of us."

I just want to add this. Among all the terrible things in this situation, another is that I can't even say "Poppy, I want to believe you're telling the truth." Because I don't want to believe it. I don't want to believe you're going through that kind of pain, because I have a lot of friends who have. I can't stand the thought of being right or wrong when I wonder if anything or everything you're saying is false, because both scenarios are awful.

There is a lot that I've read that doesn't correlate or make sense to me. I don't get that feeling often. I'm not a skeptic by nature. It caused a lot of moral conflict in my mind when I read those words and couldn't immediately say that I believed them. No matter what the truth actually amounts to, it's clearly not a good situation and you are in need of support, from people closer to you and more qualified than us. I am so sorry, because there is something truly wrong here either way.

RedDawnsRevenge · September 2014

So close to being done. That's why the baby is awake. I have sung all the Nancy Sinatra I can for tonight. Plus go to bed. I have knitting to do.

BiggerinRealLife · September 2014

@avidkeo, you diplomat you. I let him back in around noon. I can't resist his doggie face! Though it's a lot easier when it's covered in poop...

RedDawnsRevenge · September 2014

@BiggerinRealLife‌ he at least got a doggy bath right?

I snorted and started the baby. Lucky me she went back to sleep. We used to wash our late Saint Bernard's mouth out with soap. You could put TWO fists in each of his checks. And that is why they drool.

All I'm saying is psych hospitals don't give you bump time or Internet access. I was so close to saying that in the FFFC thread, but I held my tongue because I figured maybe she just needed the support during a rough patch and that was a way of getting it. #kendracalledit

This. This was my first "something's funky..."

It was a few FFFCs ago. 3 weeks maybe?

I'll have to go back and find it. Cheers to no sleep! I feel bad though. I was totally Camp Poppy and tried to refuse the weird feeling. I don't want to believe anything until I know the truth, but this isn't real life, so we probably won't get the truth. I am naive and think that there is still good in people and someone wouldn't lie about something like this. Why must I try to be so nice?

@ambarnett1 are you reding my journal? Because that's exactly how I feel. But all the comments on here point to one thing: lots of internet strangers across the board senses that something was up. I figure that can't be coincidence.

ambarnett1 · September 2014

Yes BIRL, yes I am *in my creepiest voice*

I just made myself laugh because I'm so delirious and fighting sleep to catch up on things I've missed.

FFFC 4 weeks ago is when #kendracalledit happened. I do have to agree with statements made in that thread.

Is there any good left in this society???

Eta- going back to sleep and I'm excited to see what's here when I wake up. It's like Christmas morning.
