DS will be 2.5 in a couple of weeks. I have a group of friends who all had babies the same month he was born or the month after and we are the only ones who are not 'potty training' yet. It's starting to make me feel a bit twitchy as they talk about it all the time and spend a lot of time congratulating each other (and the children) about it.
My DS isn't ready. He just isn't. Emotionally he has no desire to be rid of nappies and physically he doesn't know when he needs a wee. He can tell me when he's done/doing a poo but not that he needs one. We have a potty and one of those mini toilet seats in the bathroom, he knows what they are and what they are for but says no every time he is offered an opportunity to use them.
But my friends are making me feel like maybe I should be doing something other than waiting for him to be ready. I also feel like maybe I'm holding him back somehow by not pushing him? I don't know...
Any advice?
