Destinations voyage ( sans vol )

Bonjour!

Je cherche une escapade pour cette été à faire en auto. Nous avons 2 enfants de 3.5 ans. On part de montréal. Idéalement environ 5h de route mais on est prêt a plus si ça vaut le déplacement !

Suggestion :) ?

Twins are 3.5 yo , since the begginning my husband and the kids struggles on how strict he is. He's always been on the stricter side, putting in time out when they dont listen ( which is every day ) or raising his voice more often than not. Rarely being the " fun " parent. Obviously this means that they dont really have a great relationship with him. I'm always the favorite. When we go pick them up from daycare they skip past him very often / wont say hello . Not everytime but the majority.

He struggles even more in the past month where its been worse every night. He's frustrated, the girls do not listen at all. For him the bar is low , he just wants them to pick up their toys, when he talks they should listen instead of playing or laughing in his face. He finds it super disrespectful and he thinks they do it on purpose. Or that they " lie" ( ex : 1 not potty trained yet would say she didnt poop when she clearly did, or lie about pulling the hair of her sister etc) The girls play roughly together which annoys him a lot as well.

Yesterday night it came to a head. He told me he was over it, dosent know what to do. Is tired of being angry all the time. Its the kids fault, he feels like he tried everything. Dosent know what to do. He either will double down and " sacrifice " his relationship with the girls and be the mean guy or give up and let them do whatever the hell they want.

Those CANNOT be the 2 options common

I dont know what to do, i lost my cool a couple of times too but I still have fun with them. And 3 is a very challenging age but from my perspective its because of us. I feel like we lack the tools , the patience and it causes this attitude. My husband seems to put the fault on the kids... at 3.5 yo

I tried telling him yesterday night that you cant blame or expect changes in 3.5 yo.YOU bring the change, lets find tools and other ideas. I also think we lack experience and view toddlers the wrong way. I tend to baby them to much but my husband treats them as if they were 6. Or view is skewed

I talked to daycare to see if they were particularly hard kids ( they are together in a group ) and she said no but I know they act differently in daycare which is normal

Now i'm thinking of checking for tools, like a behavior chart or anything else.

Anyway I'm tired. Tired that my kids have no particular attachement to their dad, tired of the way he handles things , tired of the way I handle things. Tired of the threenagers. I'm tired and wished things were different

Hi, so for my birthday my partner wants to take me out to a restaurant I really wanted to go. Okeya kyujiro

I'm a huge fan of japanese cuisine / sashimi and although we know its very expensive it was for a one time experience

I recently discovered nishinokaze that seems less known but similar.

Any reviews on both ? Which is more worth? Which is more authentic , good , most food , best quality etc...

Hi so I have twins. 3.5 yo girls. They showed a interest in the potty at 2. We tried to encourage it but it fell flat. We tried again for a weekend at 3 no pants but they started to panic and ask for diapers

We discussed with my husband and said ok lets try something. We said to our girls. No more diapers at home lets try to be big girls. Put them in underwear in the morning and evening for the last week. Twin B it worked super well she went pee and poo all on her own without asking like she's always done it.

I think she still has issues with cues just because she will say she has to go a few times but then nothing happens. But shes getting there , no accidents we celebrate everytime she went

Twin A was also excited but had a little accident. No biggie we cleaned and say lets try again. I also caught her mid poop and sat her down on the potty to finish and she was super happy. But the day after she just dosent want to go. Super anxious ,screams if we ask her to sit on the potty, like crying " i dont want to go " it breaks my heart.

She hold her pee all evening until we put the night diaper and then pees so much that I have to wash her and her bed in the morning.

Yesterday was the weekend and she held her pee all day. 13 hours , we tried to convince her to go on the potty but she screamed and cried. It was awful.

I feel horrible... i'm not sure what to do

** daycare doe not want to put underwear on both twins since they feel like they are not asking when they have their pull up on
