Confession

in Toddlers: 24 Months+

I want to hire someone to potty train my DD.

I am horrible, I know.

She's not ready, and I know. We've tried, and she has no problem going on the potty (poop or pee), but she won't tell us when she has to go, and has no problem peeing in her pants.

*sigh*

We are waiting a little while longer. I don't want to force it if she isn't ready. I'm just tired of diapers. And I am not looking forward to training. One bit. I would rather have newborn sleepless nights back again.

That is all.

    I am waiting also because PT will be so  much easier when he is ready than when he isn't. From everything I have heard PTing is easy when they are really ready so I am not worrying about it.

    And I totally get wanting to hire someone...I am happy the preschool he will be going to two days a week helps with PTing:)

    Everything I read says you'll do it less time with less messes if you wait until they are truly ready. We did the 3 day thing at 2yr, it seems like I've been "training" for 7mos, he's finally got it down, I can't help but think I could have helped myself if we had waited.

    Your DD isn't even 2 yet, which is still really young. My DS is over 3 and we haven't really tried. He's just now starting to show signs. If they aren't ready, don't worry about it. It is supposed to be much easier when they are truly ready. 

    My confession is that I don't even mind diapers. I am just getting stressed because he needs to start preschool. That is the only thing getting me to get a move on it.

    Your LO isnt even 2 yet! Dont start stressing about it. Just in the past MONTH did my dd get the hang of pottying and only in the past week pooping. We're now to where we can get through the day without accidents. I had tried PTing her a few times before and she just wasnt ready, when shes ready itll go quick. But if you push too soon she'll resent it and youll just wind up frustrated. Give her some time.

    You have plenty of time.  We tried a couple of times with my son with lots of accidents.  Went back to just asking him over and over and over and one day he just decided he wanted to go.  Of course I dropped everything then and there and potty training started... with very very few accidents it was done in 4 days.  He was just over 2 1/2.  Just my experience, but it was MUCH easier when it was his choice instead of mine.

    This makes me feel better. Thanks! She's done SO well with transitions her entire life and for some reason potty training just seems so difficult. I am definitely waiting, but I wish there were a tender timer or something with kids, so you would know the exact moment it was right to make the next milestone. If only life were that easy Smile

    She is still really young. Don't stress over it yet. It will be easier when she is ready.

    DS seemed ready when he was just over 2.5 and he was trained pretty quickly.

    My confession is that right now, him being trained actually seems harder than when I had to change diapers. Anytime we're out anywhere, I'm worried about where the closest bathroom is, making sure we make it in time, and stopping what we're doing the second he says he has to go. He isn't trained enough to hold it for very long I don't think. So right now, I kind of miss diapers, lol.
