My little boy has been showing signs of being ready to potty train for a couple of weeks - takes off nappies, tells me to change him etc and yesterday we tried to start potty training. I say we it is me, his dad is useless and cannot be bothered with it! Anyway yesterday using pull up nappies I got him to wee and poo on the potty and had a dry nappy all day until his dad got home and ignored him when I was cooking the tea. We had an arguement and his dad said what is the rush he will be ok he has a nappy on. I think son 2.6 heard this and as usual prefers daddies rules to mommies because basically he lets him do what he wants.
So today I have been putting son on potty and he is downright refusing to wee and then goes 5/10 minutes after in his nappy. It is distressing for me and him and I am fuming with his dad. BTW I am six months pregnant and finding it hard enough physically myself so need to have son potty trained for when new baby arrives.
Would you A keep persisting and put son on potty regardless or B stop for a couple of weeks and try again?
I have tried giving him rewards, he loves stickers and enjoyed that part but because today he hasn't achieved anything he hasn't been given a sticker and I think now that he is disillusioned.
Sorry so long but this is important issue.
