I understand this may be a redundant question but I tried searching and found conflicting information.
Is there a proper working fork of shadps4 that adds multiplayer or not yet?
Thank you for any and all help!
Hello!
I share 50/50 custody with my ex of our 4 year old son. Up to this point we have never needed to utilize any kind of daycare to watch him while we work and have managed fine without it.
Now due to the loss of someone who was integral in watching him while I worked and was also able to get him to/from preschool - I am forced to potentially look at daycare options that are local to me on my days so I may leave work early and get him to preschool.
After explaining to his mother that this was the option I would be taking she stated that she was going to talk to her mother-in-law or her husband so they can watch him on what is (technically) still my time and they will handle getting him to/from preschool. Her husband (sons stepfather) works at a factory and his schedule regularly changes so relying on him will not be ideal and her MIL watches 3 other children on any given day. For reference her house and her MIL lives about 15 minutes from where I work and where his preschool and potential daycare are.
My questions are as follows:
Thank you for any and all advice. Just trying to see what kind of options I have here.
Had an argument with my (I am34M) dad today how the decisions he made when he had me and raised me (they had me at: 18M/19F) has direct impacts on how I raise my son. I was mentally/physically ab*sed as a child and this has changed my perception of parenting. My son is 4 and I am a single dad but his mother and I coparent very well.
He has never owned up to anything he ever did and today said "fuck my pity party" in regards to me saying that I will figure things out on my own the same way I always do. He also said that I have no reason bringing up how my shitty childhood impacts decisions I make now with my own son.
I put forth the analogy "the axe may forget but the tree remembers" to which he said "piss on your analogy - I was 18 and alone."
Not really looking for any kind of anything - just a rant about ab*sive childhood, parents who can't own it, and trying to navigate raising my own son while breaking generational habits.
Keeps getting caught by reddit auto filters so self censoring to see if that helps

Hey all. I need some advice as I am really struggling as a parent right now.
I (34M) share a 4.5 year old boy with my ex (26F). We have a pretty amicable co-parenting relationship but have been separated since right before he was born. She has since remarried and just recently had a baby in said marriage - this will come up in a moment. In my household though it is just him and I. We share 50/50 visitation and when I am working my parents spend time with their grandbaby.
Potty training for him has been an arduous task. The different parenting styles and schedules have led to various things obviously being different throwing a wrench in the process.
At this point when he is in my house he does great with #1. He strictly wears big boy underwear as we call it in my house and has only ever had 1 accident. #2 is proving to be significantly more difficult. He has no definitive signal that he is going #2 and will just do it in his underwear and sit it, then when you ask him if he pooped he will deny it. I sent the ex a text (and verbally told her mother in law who watches him) that when he is in my care - aside from bed time he will be in underwear because we have to get him fully potty trained. I have stuck to these guns and my parents follow it as well.
The inconsistencies start appearing at this point. Comments have been made in her household to me that having a baby in diapers and my son in underwear is "overwhelming" if he poops his pants and they do not want to deal with both. So he ends up wearing a pull up a majority of the time at their house. I went out and bought a ton of underwear and every custody exchange I send him home in a pair to try and drive the point home but nothing has changed.
Him and I have had talks about it and how he needs to poop in the potty. He will say he's sorry, he forgot, he didn't know he was going, or many things of the like. But I feel like he's being hindered by the other household. I need help and some idea of something I can do to at least get it working at my house. Due to his birthday we will be starting year two of preschool in August but come kindergarten next year he absolutely cannot be having these issues.
Thank you for any and all ideas.
