Potty training and daddy visit?

[FourFish]

Unsure - DD2 is potty training and is doing really well and hates wearing nappies but she is with Daddy tomorrow for the day and he is funny about toliets. He won't let DD1 wee in the street (I hasten to add I carry a potty and find a quiet corner - I just don't expect a just 3 year old to be able to wait while i find a public toliet) and the only time now she has accidents is with him. So do I put DD2 in nappies or hand her over with a pile of clothes and towels? I have text ex to ask but the likehood of a reply is slim. What do other people do?

Don't put her in a nappy. Tell him the situation - send one set of spare clothes, you don't need to send towels. She is learning to use the potty, it takes a while to get used to it - if he wants to see his DD then he will have to deal with it. If he won't have a conversation with you about it then that's his problem. You can have a break - potty training is hard work.

I recently potty trained my ds and asked my ex to get a potty and spare pants to keep at his. He has been fine. Only thing is that ex seems reluctant to take kids out since ds has been potty trained.

I agree, absolutely don't put her back in a nappy. Though I would prob send a couple of changes o clothes if you think it might be necessary, but not towels. Learning to use the loo is part and parcel of kids growing up, he will have to deal with it, how well he does is up to him. A couple of accidents will b less stressful and confusing for DD than going back in a nappy even for a short while.

Thanks ladies - i didn't use a nappy and handed her over with the potty and got her back in pull ups. So he did try I guess. I think pull ups are confusing personally (I have used them in situations where I know we're going to be on a bus for over an hour on both girls simply because changing a wet child on a bus is difficult) but thats personal choice.

Well done :-)
I used pull ups at night for mine and found them a useful 'in-between' more for my peace of mind that they would get a good night sleep than for actual need.
A friend used them, DC did great for fist week, but as soon as DC realised her clothes wouldn't get dirty/wet, she stopped using the toilet completely, so she went into knickers and has been much much better instantly. But, each to their own, I shouldn't think it'll do any harm in the long run.

I always have a spare set of clothes for dd when I pick her up ( as well as picture books, food and sticker books ) . It's all part of the 'kit'. I think it only takes one accident, which invariably will happen, to realize a spare set is essential. I also, obvious as it sounds, keep in mind whether she's had something to drink before we set off and plan accordingly.

DD just turned 3 and, bless her, has been pretty good about holding on whenever we've been in a loo-less situation. But there is always going to be a situation where you need to improvise in a near by hedge.
