toilet train my kid

After all this, I have to say that getting them to do it at their own pace is the only way you can really do it.

Okay. I can get her to the point where she’ll use it for urine, but not for BMs. I don’t know what the deal is. Why would it be more fun to defecate in your pants than to use a toilet? I just can’t get behind the three year old mentality here. I have nothing. And she’s almost three now, so people are starting to give me dirty looks that she’s not totally in panties yet.

I was handicapped from the start. By the time I got back to the United States, they’d already started. Rewards for going to the potty-really expensive pullups that had princesses on them. Ones that not only could I not easily afford, but that I had to drive well out of my way to purchase.

Now, she’s halfway there. She’ll go to the potty-but only once she’s made a mess in her pull-up, and only in order to get a nice pull-up when she’s done. I’ve tried giving her diapers afterwards when she goes in the pull ups, but then she nixes the potty idea at all. What to do?
