This little girl knows EXACTLY where she's supposed to go potty. If you ask her, she'll tell you.…

that's completely normal behavior during potty training. how old is she? try not to take it so personally, kids just have their way of learning. make sure you give her lots of positive reinforcement when she does go and absolutely don't shame or be angry when she doesn't, just talk to her and explain how things work. let her know that mistakes are ok but she's gotta keep trying to do it right. just my two cents.

that's actually normal when children start to potty train. they are still getting used to it and to them the feeling of going poop and pee are different, they are also still learning their body. after she eats, about 20m later, take her to the bathroom to poop and show her.

@maybaby2016, she's 2. But she is smart as hell!! She knows when she did a good job. Tons of positive reinforcement. And talking does nothing because she knows and will tell you exactly what she's supposed to do. She will tell you she understands. If I put big girl panties and try to tell her how shes been doing such a good job she gets to wear panties, she gets excited... But then she'll look you straight in your face while she pees herself. Mistakes are one thing. But at that point, its not a mistake. Especially since she sat on the potty all that time and still pooped her pants.

I have potty trained 5 children and I'm going to have to do it a sixth time with this one when the time comes. You aren't describing anything I haven't already dealt with. That is normal behavior and actually pretty good for a two year old. my kids didn't get that far at two, so be proud that she is doing that well. you have to remember that their little mentality isn't going to match yours for some years to come. They're still developing and yes, it requires lots of patience and understanding. good luck to you and your daughter, she is doing great!

@nessielynn, we're at that exact same stage. Everyone has told me they'll hate the way it feels to go in underwear, but my son doesn't care. He only complains because his leg got wet! But he knows he has to go because he'll go stand somewhere and just watch himself pee instead of trying to get to the bathroom. Idk bout you but I'm tired of cleaning pee off of floors, couches, etc., so I'm done with it for now. Hope you have better luck!

@mommagotbump16, right?! it be different if she was peeing on the wood but noooo. always on the carpet so now that whole room smells like pee. and i can't even break out the rug scrubber. So looks like I'ma keep diapers on her but keep trying to potty train... I told my bf that for this to work she's not allowed to go back to her mom's or his mom's cause they dont keep up with it. Kinda sad when the stepparent is more concerned with her potty training than her own mother...

:( Ugh. That is sad. At this point, I'm too pregnant and tired to be following him around and scrubbing floors (we have carpet and wood). We keep encouraging him to go, but I'm keeping him in pull ups for now. I'm more peeved because he'll go at daycare with no complaints or attitude, but at home? Ha!

@mommagotbump16 My bf and I worked it out. I told him I wanted to be a SAHM and he agreed that it would help for me to stay home. So I have little munchkin all day everyday (except when she went to her mom's or grandma's for a few days). I wasn't wasting money on pull ups when they still had diapers for her so I dunno if that's gonna affect anything or not...Guess we'll see. And even after I got this one down, I still have another stepdaughter, but there's some custody issues going on with that one.
