The Official TFK Father's Issues Thread. I don't know how they do it

We got rid of the baby chair and table from kitchen this weekend. Its been there 15 years. Was probably used less than 10 times :slight_smile:

We had those changing tables for nearly ten years, one upstairs, one in the living room, two big yokes they were, they’ve left nice big spaces.
They were probably used 20000 times.

Girls appear to be easier at the toilet training alright. No major issue with our eldest anyway, She refused the potty and went straight to the toilet.

Our young fella is going thru it now too. We weren’t planning it, he just came in one day and asked to go to toilet so we went with it. Been fine so far, very few accidents and nothing major. No potty or anything either. Not long gone 2 as well. Has been far easier with him than it was with his sister. Been absolutely blessed this time around, I remember the last time was tough going. Like with all kids, there’s no set rule or guidance that catches all

You can get toilet seats with a trainer lid on it. Handy out for the kids when they’re training. Get a wee step for them too. Have it in the downstairs toilet at least. They feel like a big boy/girl too. Have a pack of chocolate buttons and give them one as a prize when they pee, 2/3 for a poo. That helps. Best of luck with it. Some craic.

If he’s showing even the remotest interest in ditching the nappies in favour of yids, then go for it pal. My eldest started at just over one and a half, which was ridiculously early. We were living abroad and the heat resulted in a bad nappy rash, so we had little or no choice. Turns out he was ready anyway (although, he continued to have the odd accident for a few months.)

We bought a bumper pack of underpants and did the training over a long weekend. Praise, praise, praise when he gets even the slightest dribble in the jax. And keep the cool when he’s shat the togs for what feels like the 9th time that day. Cleaning up a bit of piss and shit won’t kill you. If you go to mass, you’re quite likely to be coming in contact with half the parish’s faecal matter via the holy water font, ffs!

Also, the huggies disposable protection sheets are a gem for keeping the mattress dry.

Good luck pal

Yeah we have those seats too, a double seat basically, with a child size one and adult size one within the same template. Very handy especially when you can be in a rush to get them onto the toilet.

Its the smelly chocolate buttons and malteesers they’ll leave on you’re living room carpet I’d be most concerned about.

We got this one and it’s still in use.

I’ve badly misjudged this one so, have I? Are you sure you don’t like it?

Is there anything worse? When a simple nappy-change turns into a full-on crisis. Usually, timed to coincide with leaving the house.

Some baby grows have been fucked straight into the bin in this house

Same as. Although, you can be guaranteed our mother’s would have literally boiled the shit out of them.

Mine would have a heart attack if she was aware of the waste

I doubt baby grows cost 2 euro in their day
