This is not an aibu but an oh help what do I do.
Don't know if I mentioned it under this user name but we moved recentishly and the house is a money pit. We are skint.
However it was my dream to have a sofa. I know that ~northern upholstey~ DFS do 4 years free credit so we went there and unlike our old second hand sofa (which we left in our old house as we couldn't get it down from the 3rd floor flat) from the BHF, it isn't leather. It isn't leather because we didn't have the budget, even on 0% finance. What it is however is a lovely cosy velvety thing in dark blue.
But reader, WHAT was I thinking?! 2.5 y.o. has been getting on OK with potty training. It's summer so he's running around with just a t-shirt and slippers 🤣 on, and as the days pass more of the wee and poo is going into the potty. The carpet has taken one or two for the team, but I've got Dr beckman on my side, and this carpet came with the house. If it does shrink and pull away from the walls from splashes of liquid, it's all ammo to get a new one.
Yesterday, grandparents came round. No real problem with his bare butt, but a query - why hasn't he got any knickers? You were in knickers right away as a toddler.
Really mother? I find that hard to believe.
Yes, really.
Ok so today I thought I'd try him with a pair of those absorbent training cotton knickers.
He and big brother were playing on the carpet. I went to the kitchen for mere seconds to grab the tea I'd forgotten there.
When I came back he had sneaked onto the sofa and done the most enormous wee.
This sofa appears to have the absorbency of a sponge.
How on earth can I clean this?? Help! Tell me you've had the same?!
We have barely lost the smell of the vendor's cat, only to replace it with child wee. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
