Just a vent.
I've had it pretty easy with DS...he's a great little boy, so polite and respectful...but he's 3+ and potty training has been a nightmare. I tried potty bootcamp last summer and he really wasn't ready. I threw in the towel after two weeks. I've tried a few times since then, but it didn't work then either and I wasn't as dedicated since I was pregnant.
Now I am trying potty bootcamp again and, one day in, I'm ready to pull my hair out. He just doesn't care about having accidents. He's had a couple of successes with pee, but he never seems to empty his bladder fully and ends up having an accident on the floor a few minutes later. It doesn't matter how long I keep him on the potty afterwards. He is not motivated by rewards (stickers, candy, a special outing/toy). I've tried almost everything and it just isn't working...it's beyond frustrating!!!
I know some might say, well if he's not ready just try again at another time...but he's approaching 3 1/2; how long am I supposed to wait for him to want to do it on his own?!?
Re: I hate potty training!!!
ITA with all of this. Diapers in the trash - all done. 3 is plenty old enough. 40 years ago a 3 y.o. in diapers was unheard of.

Totally unrelated, but Dreamsickle, are you by any chance an X-Files fan?
