Wow, I've been the potty queen lately.
Let's share some of the potty training frustrations you experienced when you are/were in the journey?
-
For us, lately LO (2.5 years old) would scream pee pee poo poo, and ask to change his diaper instead of using the potty. However, when I looked into his diaper, he is all clean and dry! So I would offer him to sit on the potty, but he really fights! He would insist on changing his clean diaper to another one. So if I change it to another one, he would announce pee pee poo poo in a few more minutes, again. Sometimes nothing happens until half an hour later. Argh!
Another frustration we have is, he would announce "pee pee poo poo" in the middle of a meal, all the time. Then I would carry him upstairs, again, he won't sit down. Even if he sits down, he'd just be hanging out there for a while with nothing coming out. Sigh. It is especially hairy when the meal is half finished and downstairs is a mess (and I have to fear my cat jumping up on the table and start eating his food). It is also pushing me to my limits because I have to carry him up and down the stairs and it drives me crazy when I have to go back down to that complete messy dining room + kitchen. Sometimes LO won't even let me to go back down to clean up too because he announced he's all done eating. So I have to fight him. This has been happening very often lately and it is pushing me to the edge.
Not to mention the other day, the school just stresses me out as the director told me the teachers said LO wouldn't ask to use the potty (hinting I should do something about it). Arghhhh.

Aw I'm sorry...
My DS had a nap time accident at school after having no accidents for two months. He wet his bed last night at 3 am and I had to change his sheets while he cried... All to be expected but when I manage to get him in pull ups at night he stays dry.. And when he insists on wearing underwear to bed he wets his bed! -
The insisting on going potty in the middle of meals, and then not going is pretty typical for us right now.
Also, DD pooped in her undies every day for 2 weeks after we started potty training. (She was doing great with pee though.) Just the other day she finally starting pooping in the potty, but it's still only 50-50.

Ugh! My 2.5 yr old son does so well going in the potty... As long as we tell him. He knows when he has to poop and will volunteeringly run to the bathroom. However, he can't figure out when he has to pee. The first few times he wet his pants, he cried (which I thought was good because then he would figure out when he needs to go) But now if he wets himself, it doesn't phase him.
When will he know he has to pee? Or will I constantly have to tell him to go?

DS has only pooped on the potty twice. He always does it in a diaper (or undies, or even on the floor a couple times) when he is playing by himself. Always. Sometimes just a minute or two after I ask him whether he needs to poop.

Yesterday I told DD that someone else had to take her potty bc I was feeding the baby, and she responded by peeing on the floor (and my leg). I'm not sure if she just panicked or if it was on purpose. (We were just back from swimming do she was diaper less).
She's also big on asking to go when she's bored - in the middle of dinner, or if I need to stop doing something with her to feed the newborn. It's hard but I feel like I have to jonir the request.

We've been doing what I like to call "naked mornings" in our household. After we finish breakfast, I immediately take off my son's diaper and he plays in just a tshirt. When he's diaper-less, he ALWAYS stops playing to go on the potty. (We have a potty chair right in our living room, so it is easily accessible.) However, whenever he has a diaper on, he has no issues going potty in his diaper. It's SO annoying because I know he can sense when he has to go, but if he has a diaper on, he could care less. A couple weeks ago, I tried putting underwear on him after he peed in the morning. They have Mickey Mouse on them, so he was super excited about it. Buuuut, he peed in them right away and was not happy about it. So I wiped him down and put another pair on him...which he again peed on a little later. So since then, he refuses to put on underwear and loves being diaper-less. Lol. I'm at a bit of a loss on where to go from here...he's a couple weeks shy of being two years old, so I know it's still a bit early. I was just hoping he'd progress a little more over the summer while I am home with him full time. (I'm a teacher).

We are soooo far from night / nap training. His diaper is full of poop about 80% of the time and he's only woken with a completely dry diaper maybe 5 times in his entire life.
I've also raised a really classy kid. Apparently on a walk this morning he went up to a tree, pulled down his shorts and underwear and went pee.

@Sammyfab: that's hilarious!

OMG you guys are really cracking me up. And thank you, thank you for sharing all these as it makes me feel less of a loser!! Argh!!
@Sammyfab: You had me at "I've also raised a really classy kid" ROFL LOL, and your description on his diaper full of poop about 80% of the time LOL!!!
@skibobrown: @MamaT: Hugs! What's up with going in the middle of a meal???
@Mrs. Yoyo: How old is your DS?
@bunnylovesbear: Wow, your future is bright when your LO is doing all that already shy of 2!!! Kudos! I want to give diaperless a try now... but his room (where we hang out the most) is carpeted
Argh!!!@PinkElephant: You crack me up that your DD peed on your legs !

@irene: just turned 3 and still nowhere near trained. The only reason I'm trying to push it (some kids are just ready later, esp boys) is that he's supposed to be trained for preschool this fall.
When will he know he has to pee? Or will I constantly have to tell him to go?
Argh!!!Reply
