The amazing thing with AP is that he admitted to using a switch on his badly beaten son, and then doubles down on it, talking about how he disciplines his son with force a few years later. Its a good thing he has football, cos he isn't brightest star in the sky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 The more I’m around young people who have significant issues in their lives, the more you piece together the one common issue: The complete absence of a father or positive presence of a dad. Yes there are outliers for those without one, but man is it a scary thought as a dad. ADs dad was incarcerated for most of his life. By no means does this give him a pass for his son, but it sure does explain it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 We have an NFL Comparisons forum? I’ve tried to limit my understanding of how far the NFL Gen vortex leads. Dangerous waters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketheadsdad Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 @Kiwibrown, @hornbybrown Just want to let you two gents know that I can truly appreciate what you go through to be a Browns fan. I have been up since 4 a.m. to watch the Geelong Cats/ Adelaide Crows footy game on the WatchAFL app. Game kicks off at 4:50 a.m. Mad props to the two of you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had random texts like that before. Sounds like science fiction On 3/28/2019 at 5:03 AM, NateDawg said: Baby #3 coming in October. Perfect season at least.

How old is the kid? We potty trained our daughter over the Easter holidays when she was 20 months thinking it would make a 3 week trip to the States easier. It was ******* stressful. We then let our lad wear nappies until he was 3 and he decided he wanted to be potty trained. It was, no pun intended, a piece of piss.

As much positive reinforcement as possible. Gotta make them enjoy going to the bathroom. To that has worked for my daughter. It was such a long journey but now she rarely has accidents through out the day. Only time she might have one is if she is in her car seat. The one thing I hated most about potty training was her peeing in her car seat. I hated taking that thing hard to take the cover off to wash it. Now im just not looking forward to getting her off of bed time overnight diapers. Back to the tips, I always tried to make it fun for her and happy that she peed/poop in the potty. We also bought a potty for every toilet possible so it was never long to get to a potty. I just know whenever see started to pee and I could hear it, I would freak out with excitement and she thought it was the funniest thing in the world and ended up inventing our family happy dance. That when she does something like pee in the potty, take her meds like a big girl when she is sick, or does something great a happy dance is broken out and at times she calls for the happy dance. I think in the beginning we would ask her every hour if she has to go to the potty. If it was longer than hour since she last went, we would take her and have her try. Now every time she tells us she has to go potty, we act like she just won a major award. God there were times she would be so stubborn about going to the bathroom to just try, we would just have to trick her to go there because if she was throwing a fit. It was game over. I don’t know how many times I told her I’ll race you to the bathroom! A tip I heard was just got weekends or extended period of times with no pants on and a potty right there in the same room. That the minute they start peeing you, you grab the pot and make them get on. I know my daughter starter to hate that feeling of being wet and she started to feel bad when she peed her pants. When really helped her, I think that’s why we tried to over sell it when she did cause she was so hard on herself for only being like 3yrs old lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from what @buno67 said about positive reinforcement (potty treat M&Ms for the win!), I also did the "race you to the bathroom to see who goes first" method, and it has worked well too. For the initial, we got the potty seat hard plastic over/inserts so she was comfortable sitting there on her own and doing her business. We also got a "squatty potty" for the living room/family room/wherever so that she could run over and do her business there. It's not fun to clean out, but it does dump right into a regular potty. Have clorox wipes on hand for the #2 stuff. Sometimes, in a pinch, we'd have a "picnic" as a family and eat there while she was on the potty in front of the TV (usually a last resort). She'd eat, then go, we'd celebrate, reward with a potty treat, etc. Buying her some "special underwear" with her favorite princess figures on it helped. She didn't want to have an accident in them/ruin them, because then we'd have to throw them out, which she hates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 My oldest early in the process asked me what she had to do to wear big girl pants. All I had to do was explain the process and its purposes. When she was about 3 (I think) she wanted to do something (can't remember what), I asked her what made her think that she could do it and her answer was: I learned to use the toilet so that I could wear big girl pants. I can learn to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing like starting your week at 5am with the browns losing a 20 point lead to the ravens. Tired and disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the road for the 2nd time, and knocked off a top-4 contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
