sorted!

[pranma]

At 2.9 my dgs is now fully trained in the daytime[including naps].What did the trick was acknowledging his need for privacy and having several potties in places where he could reach one easily,also making sure it was easy for him to pull pants trousers down.He now just calls for a wipe post poo or for help to empty a potty.
Just in time for preschool in September.

When I first read the op, I thought she was talking about toilet training a dog , nah actually

Goodness Kaffywaffy, you've gone OTT here havn't you!

Take some deep breaths, have a swig of vodka and look at it again!

'Threatening' Haaaaaaa!

I think if you had inserted the word "finally" into this phrase:
"What did the trick was.." it would have sounded less smug and indicated that there had been previous problems and worries.

Never mind, it's a good tip and one to bear in mind, thank you. I for one can't stand pooing if anyone can hear me, so I have sympathy with your DGS!

"and I wasn't bothered btw cause I had to hell to tains girls and then my third did it herself 2 weeks before her second birthday

day AND night

fucking amazing!"

You sound more smug than the OP.

I read that as sarcasm

big deal op

I didn't thank it was smug

that why I put the fucking amazing on it

and I said she trained herself
which she so did

I did nothing except lift her to the toilet when she asked

so nothing to be smug about cause I didn't do anything

I was flabbergasted by it all

I am off. do not like how bitchy MN can be

kaffy - reporting people on your 2nd day is not the way to make friends. The tone of this forum is blunter than many others, it's how we all like it.

Sorry it's not to your taste.

KW was actually very polite to TR as a first resort before reporting, which wasn't reciprocated at all.
"it's how we all like it." - there's at least 2 people on this thread you don't speak for, then.

Lol Trinity.

did anyone google kaffywaffy btw?

Notpl;ayinganymore where does it say "it's how we all like it." ?
I swear I'm losing it

(I rewound torchwood three times to find the bit where Stephens playing football and still couldn't find it again)

Notplaying - I apologise.

MN is blunt, and so I assume that everyone who uses it regularly is aware of the fact and finds it to their liking.

Trinity wasn't threatening. Unpleasant to someone who just wanted to celebrate a child's achievement maybe, but not threatening.

Why shouldn't the OP be pleased by her grandchild being potty trained? Am I not allowed to say "hurrah, my daughter is reading!" in case I upset someone whose child is struggling?

I thought Trinity was terribly rude and vulgar.
Not enough for reporting though, I've seen far worse posts. And threatening ? Can't see it.

Still, she should have been put in her place by others quickly as her treatment of OP was just not on.

And no Alibabaa , not all of us like the damn rudeness and swearing you call being blunt but have to put up with it as otherwise mumsnet is brilliant. People often voice objection to such behaviour so it's obviously not ' all of us '.

kaffywaffy should have been given some slack for being new not made a laughing stoch and hounded off. Shame on you. There you are. That's me being blunt.

Bet someone will tell me eff off now. Oh well, that's mumsnet for you. It always says a lot about the person.

webwanderer I took the tone of the op wrongly

I realise that now and I shouldn't have said what I did
but I wasn't threatening

fuck off lemoniee

Trinity, just need to say what a load of bollox! I'm sorry but I read the op exactly the same as you did. After the op had added in more detail of the difficulties of the potty training prior to cracking it I just thought well why didn't they say that to start with???? Would have been really helpful instead of smug! I will probably get blasted now but Kaffywaffy???wtf? ok kkq probably gives the image of a fat bird surrounded by chunky kitkat wrappers (probably not far wrong ) but ???

as for the bird shit on head - I saw a seagull do that to my sisters icecream once - she didn't notice and wouldn't believe me!!

Oh bugger contractions are back...

Oh heck-I did say all the other stuff on other threads and didnt want to be repetetive
I'm sorry if my tone was smug,I dont feel smug just relieved.THat was only the 2nd or 3rd time I have tried to start a thread and it may be the last.Honestly I didnt want to upset anyone just share the fact that, after so much distress from a very little boy, who didnt want dirty pants/nappies but was scared to let go in potty or toilet,he finally solved it himself by using a potty in a private place then telling mummy.There is now a potty at the foot of the stairs,one in his room and one ouside in an outhouse and he just goes.If you say 'Do you need a poo?'he still gets upset.Honestly what a fuss from some people about nothing much.Thanks for support kaffywaffy and well done TR's dd for her diy job.

sorry pranma and well done to your dgs

pranma offers a quick hug to TR((0))

TR - I think to a newbie your posts do come across as sarcastic and verging on bullying which isn't helped by other people all jumping on the bandwagon and following TR's lead.

If I was in Kaffywaffy shoes and had joined MN thinking it was going to be a supportive, friendly network I'd be rather shocked by the response I got to a post that was just being supportive to the OP.

No wonder she's been put off.

I hope kaffywaffy is still around.I would hate a thread I had started to be responsible for someone leaving.I have only been here a relatively short time myself as, since I started minding dgs ,I thought it would be useful.At first I was shocked at the vehemence of some of the posts,now I just read them and move on,only replying if I feel I have something worth saying.You soon learn it isn't personal-they dont know you,just enjoy having a bit of a rant.

I am still around.....

A bit battered and bruised, but I have as much right as anyone to be here, so will not be leaving or changing my nickname.

I hold my head up high, and stand by my values.

Thanks to the few who have been kind....
