I need help!!!!! My (almost) 3 year old refuses to potty train! We keep her in panties at home and make her sit on the potty every 10/15 min and she holds it until we put her in a pull up for her nap or to go to bed. My oldest was so easy and was potty trained before she was 2. I don’t know what to do!
Some days I feel like she is completely ready, like she will take off her pull ups on her own and puts on big girl panties and other days she flips out if she doesn’t have a pull up on. I just don’t know what to do.
She’s most likely regressing because she has a baby in the house and she wants to be a baby. My daughter did the same thing at 3.5 when her brother was born. I’d sit her on the toilet and she’d hold it then go to her room and pee in her pants. If your daughter can hold it that long then she’s definitely ready to use the potty. What kind of reward system are you using? With my daughter we did stickers for pee and candy for poop. You will need to figure out what she responds to. It’s a hard process, I’ve been there.
We are doing m&ms if she goes (they’re her favorite) and some days she takes off her pull ups and runs around naked on her own and other days she flips out if she doesn’t have a pull up on. It’s just hard and I want to do best for her but I don’t want her in pull ups forever.
@allamericanmommy, I think that’s just a normal part of the process. My son has been potty training for the past 3 months and he’s the same way. Some days he goes in the potty 6x a day without a fight and other days he outright refuses and just wants his pull-up. Today he threw a big tantrum screaming his head off because I was making him sit on the potty. He hadn’t peed in 2 hours and his pull-up was dry so I figured he’d go. He didn’t and I tried again an hour later and he went. I wish I had the answer but I think we all go through it.

@allamericanmommy, consistency is key. But if she isn’t fully ready it won’t happen. My 13 year old was also potty trained at 2 but my 4 year old is still in a pull up at night and will not poop on the potty. Every kid is different. Nothing wrong with them or you. And don’t let anyone tell you or make you feel different!
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...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
