MY mom always told me i was potty trained at 18 months. with my nieces and nephew it was so easy. it seemed like it only took a couple weeks and they were potty trained.
Now that I’m a mother, potty training is the one thing i hate. With my first daughter we started when she was 2, and she would go every now and again. then right before her 3 birthday, she wanted nothing to do with it. 6 months later we finally got her fully potty trained. we put her in panties and thought she would learn if she got wet. that didn’t go well, beacause i was cleaning up poop and pee every hour. so gross. I would take her with me when i had to go, and she’s sit on her potty. finally success! she’s never wet the bed , or had a accident since.
Now with my second daughter who turns 3 in a week. we have had minimal success. if we can tell shes going and we gt her to the potty in time, she will go. usually only #2. she just thinks the bathroom is a playground. she always plays in the sink. i’m hoping it happens soon. i know she is ready, she will take of her pullup and not tell me. i find out when she pees on the floor. she tries to wear panties, but she just doesn’t get it yet i guess.
I tried taking her with me when i go, but no luck, and whenever i set up the little potty, my oldest will use it instead of the big potty. Pull ups or Easy ups are very expensive and don’t come in big packs. So it’s getting very very tuff, and frustrating for me.
