ERRR! Lazy Parent Vent

SimpleJane

I feel like any progress I make with my kids, XH goes and ruins it the following weekend. Ugh!

DD turned three this weekend, and we just finally got her potty trained so there is no need for pull ups. It's been a few weeks now with very few/no accidents. He had her bday party this weekend and I know he was busy and not making sure she was going on the potty. DS said she was regularly having accidents there all weekend. Plus, she was obviously eating a lot of junk because of the get together.

She's been home for three hours and has shiiiit her pants three times!
Because he can't be bothered to be consistent I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle here!

All kids are different when it comes to PTing. My little brother never pooped in the potty once until he was 4 years old! And things were consistent and routine all the time.

SD has been PTed since before 2 with only accidents at night for a
