Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

We've decided to start potty training our 22 month old since he can pull down his pants, we've thrown ourselves into it. Now the question is, can 22 month olds be manipulative 😳? This child is something else. If we're having him do something he doesn't want to do, like going down for a nap, he'll start saying potty, if we let him go, he just runs all over the place, I guess forgetting he wanted to use the potty 🤦🏿 ♀ Is this a thing? I just go get him and have him sit on the potty and I tell him, "if you say you want to use the potty, then you must use the potty." I feel like I should work on him not "telling lies." But idk what this behavior is. Can 22 month olds be manipulative, and a liar? Someone told me "he's intelligent to know that saying potty will get him out of something he doesn't want to do." I say... this some bull... 😑😒 Another thing, when I try to get him to look at me when I'm trying to tell him he did something wrong, he does not make eye contact. I get down on my knee in front of him, he looks away, I cup his chin with my hand to have him face me, or say "Nordo, look at mommy please," he averts his eyes... you guys 😓 somedays I feel like he's a sociopath 😬 I don't say that out loud though 😅 ugh, I know, I'm CRAZY, but man... what are the chances? lol
I created a potty training group on here I potty trained my now 11 month old in exactly 1 month. No he is no a genius. I was just determined to get him out of diapers. I woke up every 15-30 minutes to put my son on the potty. I Never yelled when he did have a accident. I just put him on his potty and told him that he is a big boy and big boys don't pee or poop in their diapers. I always clapped 👏 my hands when he did pee or poop in his potty . I don't give my son no sort of candy or stickers since he can choke. I rewarded when he was accident free for 1 month I purchased him a toy . Who would like to join my potty training group?

I would try a different approach, if you've been trying to potty train since you conceived with no progress it really doesn't sound like he's ready. I thought ds was ready he showed the "signs" at 3 we tried and he basically done the same as your son did. We'd encourage him all the time but he went without us pushing it a few months after turning 4, there was no training when he started he always just went on his own and no accidents since.
He's 4.5 now

Surely being able to pee whenever at school, then being told something totally different at home is where the problem lies.

We had multiple potties all over the house. No running, no begging them to hold it, made life so much easier.
It concerns me the teachers are putting him in diapers-that could negatively impact the training you're doing. If they're putting them on him during the day, they probably aren't checking him and taking him to the potty.

@ razzle my son hates being naked. But the play area idea is great! I didn't ever think of that

No pants works pretty well too. Putting the potty in their play environment so no traveling is necessary also helps.

I will try every 30 minutes and see if that helps. We usually go every hour so maybe shortening that time will help

Hum I wonder if the change in his class could have caused it. If u want to keep
Trying then do as pp suggested and take him every 30 mins to go potty. Good luck

Maybe at home set an alarm every 30 min and take him to the bathroom. Maybe after a few days of that it will help.

Oh no. His dad and I have been separated since he was just six months old. And all I can think of as far as a change is when he switched from his twos room at daycare to the three year old room. They weren't as attentive in there and the teachers they have really don't seem to be good with the kids. I kept getting him from them in diapers! Not even pullups. Other than that someone mentioned to me it's because I'm pregnant. But we started potty training after I conceived. So why would the pregnancy affect him now?
deleted-user·
Was there a major change when he started to regress? Was it around the time u two separated?

Well that's the hard part @pp. He was showing all signs of being ready at first. He was waking up dry, and was telling me when he had accidents, was excited to use the potty and would go. And for a while we didn't have any accidents except for night time. But then after about almost 2 months everything changed and he just regressed. I was going to put him back in pullups but I didn't think that was fair to him since he was doing so good for so long. It also doesn't help that his father would fight and argue with me about putting him back in pullups which would mean that he'd be in pullups at my house(I have custody) but regular underwear at his dad's every other weekend.

Doesn’t really sound like he’s ready to potty train just yet. It shouldn’t take that long once he’s ready. I say give it a rest for a little while. My 3 year old son isn’t ready yet and I’m not going to push him because it’s just harder on everyone that way

Only at night. We use big boy underwear during the day.

Is he still in pullups?
