HELP!! i have a son, he'll be 3 in July. he's super smart, has great conversation skills, and a really good memory. myself and my fiance tried potty training when he turned 2, and it just was not clicking for him, so rather than push the issue, we decided we would wait until he was ready. we started again at the beginning of the year, potty training. he got new underwear (thomas and lightning mcqueen) for christmas from a few aunts, and grandparents, and we have a candy box. we started working with him, and he LOVED the underwear; we had him in underwear within 4 days, wearing a diaper for nap/bed time. well, he went to his father the following monday, he's with him 2 days, and when he came home tuesday night, wednesday was like starting from scratch. his father says he just "doesn't get it" over there...i really think it's just more effort than he wants to put in. what can i do to make this easier for my son?? it's gotten SO frustrating starting from scratch on wednesday EVERY week!!

    That sounds like a very frustrating situation! What kind of relationship do you have with the father? What are the visitation terms? If you are at all cordial or able to, I would ask to spend the first couple of hours of the next visit together at his house. That way maybe you can be there to show your son the potty process at a different house and show the father what method you're using.
