I started a thread http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/potty_training/1059227-3-year-old-knows-when-he-s-pooing-and here about problems potty training DS. Basically, he knows when he's pooing, I'm pretty sure he knows when he's weeing, he can hold it for ages but he refuses to sit on the potty or toilet. Gentle persuasion, bribery, leaving him to it...none of it is working. He has the odd pee on the potty but it's like he lets a little bit out, then has a big accident 5 mins later. He's still having 3 or 4 accidents a day, wee and poo.
I'm fed up! There's another load of washing in the machine and the cushions are all off the sofa, having been weed on again!
I'm starting to think he's just not ready and maybe we need to go back to nappies for a bit. However, everyone else (i.e. DP, my mum, nursery) think we should just stick with it and he'll get it eventually. We have made some progress I think but it seems to be 2 steps forward, 1 step back...I'm also fed up of the constant battles to get him onto the potty when it's blatantly obvious he needs to to.
What should we do? He'll be three tomorrow. I'm torn between wishing we'd started at 18 months, and wishing we'd waited another few months!
