My dd is almost 3 and refuses to use the potty. She is more than ready, she tells me that she needs a wee, begs for a nappy on if she is not wearing one and needs the toilet, gets out of the bath to piss on the floor then gets back in the bath etc. she just will not actually wee or poo when she is sitting on the toilet. She complains that it is too cold and says 'I can't do it' whilst grinning at me.
So yesterday I decided that was it and the little bugger is not wearing nappies anymore. We were in all morning and I sat her on the toilet several times but she refused to go. Eventually I had to pick dd1 at lunch time so we set off with her wearing big girls pants, and scootered to school. She piddled on the way home and told me that her pants were wet. I said we would change them when we got home, and she grumbled all the way home (only 5 mins) because she didn't like the feeling. Then we had to go out for the rest of the day so I put pull ups on her and explained that she still needed to wee and poo in the potty when we were out. She was obviously very relieved to have what she classed as a nappy on and promptly shat. She didn't use the potty all afternoon but we were on the go so it was difficult.
So day 1 was a bit of a disaster, day 2 is here and she should be going to nursery. Having given her a big pep talk yesterday about no more nappies, should I send her to nursery in big girls pants and plenty of changes of clothes? I am fairly certain she will not use the toilet there either but IMO this seems to be a mental thing she needs to get over rather than not being ready.
