DS turned 2 at the end of July, and DH has been making noises ever since about getting him potty trained. Lately he's been really pushing for it, and it's getting on my tits.
The thing is, I don't think DS is ready. I've shown him his potty and the toilet (complete with step stool and training seat in case he prefers that) and explained what he needs to do and shown him books about the potty, but he just doesn't seem interested in it. Doesn't want to sit on it and if I sit him on it he just gets up and wanders off.
Sometimes I see him go to do his 'poo squat' and say to him, "Do you need to poo? Would you like to use your potty?" and he always says "NO!" and tends to waddle off to do his poo elsewhere.
Additionally, DS doesn't tend to tell me when he needs changing - would rather grumpily sit in a stinky or wet nappy, is unable to pull his own trousers up or down, and has quite limited speech.
DH is nuttier than squirrel poo to think we can manage to potty train in the circumstances isn't he? Can you all tell him he's being a bit of a twat please? (If indeed he is).
