  • We started around 2.5 years, and followed the “Oh Crap!” potty training book. We went straight from diapers to nothing (no pull ups, even at night), and it took less than a week. The idea is to take a few days off where you can watch them constantly, go without pants, and catch their “cues” right before they go and run them to the potty. Once they are doing that consistently (usually after a day or so), add pants and repeat, but give them a chance to decide to go themselves. They won’t want to go in their pants/on the floor. More than 1 or 2 accidents, go back to day one.

    Sounds like you’re close, but just need to be consistent and maybe do a bit of a reset, to make it clear that going in the potty isn’t an optional, once in a while thing, but the only option going forward. Not sure about your day care situation, but the book recommends against pull ups as it feels just like a diaper, and makes it hard to be consistent.









  • There are dozens of us!

    I would say my experience on midwest.social aligns with Lemmy’s population as a whole - generally left of (US) center, with a few further left folks. Most of the content is either midwest-specific news or LOTR memes, probably makes sense that the only content that gets widely upvoted by Lemmy at large is the left-leaning memes.

    I haven’t seen anything nearly as extreme as the posts/comments from hexbear/grad/ml, but I wouldn’t be surprised if users from those instances have accounts on multiple instances to push propaganda.







  • I probably did a poor job of summarizing, as I’m not a lawyer; here’s the key quote from the article:

    That doesn’t mean that it will be easy for the Special Counsel to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump had the requisite mental state to violate the law. It means that his actions plausibly violate the law.

    My point was that contrary to the previous commenter’s implication that anyone telling you to watch out for lies is just going to feed you their own propaganda, this article is fairly objective.
