DD is 2.5 and we've not attempted potty training yet. We talk about it loads and she has pants which she has occasionally put on (although never for long). Last summer she used the potty casually quite often but for some reason she took a dislike to it and has resisted since. We also have two seats for the toilet but again she doesn't like sitting on them.
She's had issues with constipation and withholding since she was 2, which hadn't helped. She is on daily medication which helps although it still isn't ideal.
I'm due another baby in 5 weeks, I go on maternity leave next week so thought I could attempt it with her when I have more time. The other half of me is telling me just to leave it till the summer and wait until there will be less resistance.
WWYD? Am I just being lazy and should I just bite the bullet? Or am I doing the right thing by following her lead?
The 'oh is she still in nappies?' Comments are now coming thick and fast. She's otherwise very smart and clued up, keeps telling me how much she loves her nappies!
