Anyone had trouble toilet training?

I know my baby Biewer is still young 11 weeks to be exact (I made a mistake on my earlier post..whoops!)
But she just doesn’t seem to grasp the concept 😅 she’s done about three pees on her pad in the matter of two weeks.

I get her out of her crate in the morning (4am when I have to get up for work) I place her on her pad but she just sits and stares lol! Then I find pee puddles throughout my apartment not even close to the pads. We do reward her with treats every time she has gone on her pads.
My partner works from home so she has company all day and even he hasn’t had any luck.

She has her second lot of vaccinations next week and I know it maybe easier to toilet train once she allowed outside.

Any tips on the meantime?

Just wanted to share….

My 9 week old Biewer terrier has been in her new home for just a few hours.
We’ve been encouraging play in her crate and feeding her in there, she’s taken a power nap in her crate (with door open) and had a few tears as we placed her in our bedroom, opened the door when she settled a little she then explored the bedroom for a while and then lay down.
We placed her back in the crate and she’s been currently asleep now for over an hour, we think the cover on her crate was stressing her out a little now it’s off she seems content and peaceful.
We may reintroduce the cover further on down the line when she’s properly used to things but we’re pretty proud of ourselves for not giving into the crying and proud of her for being such a good girl on the most stressful day of her life.

I’m not here to harass…

I want to know sincerely why people think Bryan is innocent, I was on the fence before thinking how could a guy with dyspraxia kill four people in a short amount of time and almost leave the perfect crime scene. Both my partner and step son have dyspraxia, ADHD and are autistic and no way in hell could they pull something like that off without leaving behind damning evidence.

Now I do believe Bryan is the perp since diving deep into some of the evidence. I do believe originally it was sexually motivated but panicked when he realised Kaylee and maddie were in the same bed.
Bryan had an interest in sexually motivated crimes I.e Ted Bundy.

A man was seen fitting Kohbergers description in yards and around King road weeks before the crime.

Also the fact that I believe 50+ surveillance videos of Bryan on that route and back exist from the night of the murders.

What I do believe though is Bryan was taken advantage of when it came to court proceedings and was coerced into taking the guilty plea which has left so many questions unanswered.

So enlighten me, as a person who thinks this really needs to go to trial what really makes you question that Bryan wasn’t the perp?

Being the class clown and only wants to talk about himself.

My 36 DX partner is always acting like the class clown and it gets to the point it makes me cringe or his jokes become rather very tasteless.

It’s constant, I had to calm him down the other day when he decided to tag along with me to my families it was joke after joke and acting silly and most of the jokes were aimed at me, it’s almost like he’s only comfortable when people are laughing at him and making himself look silly and it’s even rubbing off onto his nine year old as everywhere we go if there’s other people he’s got to be centre of attention and he has to try and make people laugh only for him to get carried away and becomes kind of irritating to others.

Also the conversations we have or lack of are always about his interests and he thinks I should follow his interests and hobbies because he doesn’t enjoy mine. Any experience this?

9 year old challenges everything we do!

We need some help figuring this out. My step son 9 was diagnosed last year and medicated. As normal he started on a lower dose of mediknet 5mg, didn’t see much of a difference. Things were steady on ten but by the afternoon when it had worn off things were chaos again so the paediatrics decided to give him a split dose of 20mg, 10 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon.

This time we’ve noticed more mood swings and he challenges us and whines over literally everything, his mom said he even challenged her yesterday about the way she had tied his shoe laces.
My 7 year old nephew who’s autistic came over yesterday for a sleepover both were so excited until my step son got home, he whined over everything again constant mood swings even though he was so excited on the car ride home, as soon as he gets home his mood changes. My nephew carries around a box that he calls his life savings, it’s literally just pennies, dices he had to make comments about that and started crying because my partner had made my nephew a gold credit card out of an aftershave box his son had which he had completely forgotten about literally had just cut the lid of the box off.
It got to the point I had to take my nephew into my bedroom to keep him occupied as you could tell he was starting to feel uncomfortable.
We’ve had problems with him kicking his mom and just the other day he had winded her by kicking her in the stomach.

I have suggested screentime be limited and earned because he has an absolute addiction to screens, he’s currently earning stars on a reward chart and I’ve suggested he earns screentime through this instead of earning toys because we’re finding once he earns a gold star he stops trying. We have identified that screens is definitely a trigger.
Mom brought him a VR and phone last Christmas and he’s forever switching between the two and not really interested in anything else.

He’s also constantly hungry he ate his dinner, ate my nephews left overs, had ice cream, toast and still complained that he was hungry.

Has anyone experienced any of this?

Stepson (9) being violent towards mother.

We’re all struggling at the moment with my 9 year old stepson who has been diagnosed with ADHD combined. He’s violent only towards his mother just yesterday he headbutted her as he was being picked up to come to ours for the weekend.

What happened is he went to kiss her goodbye and she said “be careful you almost headbutted me” so he really decided to do it. This isn’t the only time he’s hit her and he also curses at her yet at ours we only get the arguments with him.
When we got to the car we explained about consequences of being violent and decided to ban all tech for the night. We explained the consequences will be so much greater than that if he carries this into adulthood. He broke down crying and explained that it was a tick but we carried out the consequence anyway and explained he needed to earn privileges back.

We as a group me, my partner, mom and her partner just don’t know what to do anymore as his behavior towards his mother is very concerning my partner is worried sick that he’ll grow up and think this is the way to treat a woman.

Was it right to carry out the consequence? We do tend to let things slide the day after and treat it has a clean slate as he’s gone to comic con today with dad even though he did think about cancelling the trip as he doesn’t want his son getting the impression it’s all been swept under the carpet.

He is medicated and has recently been prescribed a split dose so 10mg in the morning and another 10mg around 3/4pm.

So we have SS every weekend Friday to Sunday 7/8pm. Every bank holiday and school holidays, including pick ups every Wednesday for a few hours after school and my other half takes him out for dinner.

Atm we’re doing renovations to our apartment, we never ask for lee-way when it comes to the schedule but we’re finding it difficult to get things done while SS is here, I feel I need to mention he has ADHD and possibly ASD, also have suspicions he has comorbid OCD.

Our place is chaos atm and I suggested maybe asking BM whether we could have tomorrow off (bank holiday) so we have a day to get things in order.

Why is it it’s like we’re asking for the world? She basically said we can’t change schedule as THAT IS the schedule. We don’t have a court order or anything and there’s plenty of times she’s gone away on vacation and had to change ours.

It’s now put a dampener on our day feeling like we’ve done something wrong and it feels like anything we do we need to run it past bm to get approval. Anyone feel the same?
