Partner is disgusting

How hard is it to piss in the fucking toilet bowl? Seriously🙄 I've came up the toilet after him and there is piss all over the floor. Had to grab the mop to clean it up. Seriously why are men like this? Id expect it if he was drunk. But seriously what the actual fuck 🤮

Is it time to try potty training?

My son is almost 18 months old but he has been ripping his diapers off constantly. Is it time to start potty training him? I know it’s kind of early but he already knows that when I have to go potty I go to the bathroom and he will follow.
