My DD2 is almost 3 and still in nappies; she is quite smart and understands going to loo etc, follws all of us when we go and washes her hands with us. She shows no actual interest in going herself though. She has a potty and one of those toilet seats, both of which she will happily sit on but in oh, 8/9mths she has NEVER once done anything in either; she hasn't exactly wee'd all over the floor either, which makes our HV think she has the bladder control to learn.

If she does have an accident (only ever beed wee never poo) its a teeny dribble and she goes absolutely bonkers until she is cleaned up.
This has happened every time we have tried; she used to get inconsolable when she had an accident but now she just walks off! She won't keen pants on either, just takes them off and runs around with them Blush.
She is at nursery 4.5hrs a day Tues-Thurs whilst I am at work and spends Monday with her daddy while I work and a Friday we do toddlers etc. I am more than willing to stop everything and stay in house as much as possible to really crack on with it; and have taken 2nd week in April off work in a hope to do it then....

Give me tips; help and tell me honestly - AIBU?

My son's both went to nursery 19 and 15 years ago respectively and they trained my kids for me.

As your child spends so much time at nursery why haven't they trained her?

Pure bribery worked for me.
Big tin of quality street and ds was told that everytime he used to toilet he would get one.
Worked a treat.
