FFS. 3 yo (just) DD has been potty training for something like 2 months. Most days are fine and then we have days like yesterday - wet herself four times - or today - 2 or 3 times depending on the timing of the wet patch on the sofa
I am so fucking fed up of it! Carrying multiple changes of clothes, pulling wet clothes off her, smell of piss and puddles everywhere. We had a long drive down to MIL's last week and she wet herself several times on the way so the whole car stank of piss for days and we had to wash the car seat cover (had a Summer Piddle Pad but it's completely shit). For the way back, she fought DH tooth and claw not to wear a nappy and was absolutely fine, dry as a bone.
She just doesn't seem to notice or care that she's wet. I know this is partly my own fault for spending three years training her to pee into a nappy but ffs shouldn't she have got it by now? I don't even know what the issue is - she tends to be better at home where she has free access to the potty but even then we've been in all afternoon and she's wet herself at least once.
She will strenuously deny she needs to go then wet herself ten or 20 minutes later.
Doesn't help that 12 wo DS is a massive puker so I spend most of my day soaked in everyone else's pee and vomit
Anyway, so far I've been all chilled - to her - about misses, "Don't worry, darling, it doesn't matter, just tell mummy next time, yes?" etc. It isn't working. WIBU to introduce a minor electric shock every time she misses from now on? I'm fairly confident she'll be dry within 48 hours.
