To not want to potty train my toddler yet?

[scentednappyhag]

She was two yesterday. People have been telling me I should start potty training for the last six months.
AIBU to be getting tired of calmly explaining that I don't think she's ready right now, and WIBU to fling poo at the next person to give 'helpful' critique of my parenting failure on this subject?

Edgar you are being obtuse,

A parent who feels pressured into pt before he/ she feels the child is ready or before the child indicates they are, because other people made comments or bully into doing so is forcing and is highly likely to be running round catching the accidents if this happens its not working.

A parent who actively decides to go down the elimination communication training route is not forcing and the eliminations would not be accidents they would just be eliminations that the parent has not picked up the communication for.

Potty training is teaching a child who has been a nappy user to use a loo
Et is usually skipping the nappy and a method of communicating when the child needs to go and cues the adult can use to prompt it.

Both are methods that should be a choice where making one is reasonable to do so

There is a difference.

if you disapprove of the judgement, not the method, then we agree.

Trained both my DSs at around 3. It was really easy and only took a couple of days for them to be reliable. Maybe it would have been that easy if I'd done it earlier as well, but I'm happy with what I decided. Their nursery was fine with it.

Might do DD earlier though - she is only 18 months but already obsessed with sitting on the potty.

That is indeed the case.
