Okay so DD wants to wear underwear (aka: elmo's and minnie's) but doesn't understand that it means she needs to use the potty so I am tired of cleaning the carpet/floors. She will use the potty if I make her every 2 hours but with two other kids I forget or she goes pee but 30 min. later poops in her underwear. I don't want to discourage her desire to wear the underwear and make her wear a diaper. Frustrating...Its a lot of work with a 4 year old and a 6 week old. ugh. vent over. Thanks.
Re: PT vent for a moment
The same thing happened with LO so finally I hid the underwear. We have mostly carpet and I'm sorry I'm not cleaning pee off my carpet every day!
I am waiting to try again until she seems REALLY ready. Like when she's almost 3 unless she literally asks to try sooner.
We are not there yet but I agree with PGASTL - Hide those undies! You have too much to deal with right now to be worrying about cleaning up a mess. Hopefully She figures it out soon!
