My boyfriend thinks I’m being ridiculous, what’s your personal opinion… the doctor said to limit outings and the amount of people who touch and hold the baby. She is only two weeks old today and I’m basically staying inside or at least not going out unless absolutely necessary like the grocery store or doctors. I do...

Does anyone have any advice for what to do if your toddler is sitting on the potty at school and he actually pees but when he gets home, he refuses to even sit on the potty and just wets himself instead. And afterward says 'diaper' to me. I feel like we are digressing at home and negating the success that daycare i...
