  • 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.









  • Replaced one teacher’s desktop background with a screenshot of the desktop, then hid all the icons and minimized the taskbar.

    Got admin access on one of the lab computers to install something needed for a class, and swapped out a bunch of the default Windows sound effects (login etc) with random other sound clips.

    Torrented Flatout 2 onto one of the library computers and found out years later a bunch of kids were still playing it during lunch/recess
