Potty training failures - mine :(

Have been potty training dd (2.5), and now on day 8. Has been making progess (esp with dm and dh helping over easter). Yesterday lots of pees and poos in the potty, although 4 accidents too. This morn peed in potty first thing, then nothing for hours. I was asking all the time 'do you need the potty' with her getting more and more resistant to sitting on it. Had to go out (to buy travel potty) and was on high alert for accidents. Took her twice to toilet when out as showing signs of needing, but nothing coming, apart from tears! Got home, asked again, she refused then peed on the carpet. I wasn't screaming at her, but dd could tell I was upset. She started crying and then made herself sick. Over me. All a bit of a disaster .

How do I chill the f* out about this? Should I give it a break and go back to nappies for a bit? Or just leave her to use the potty if/ when she wants to without me nagging and take a tranquiliser?

Try to remember that accidents are part of learning too. It sounds like you are stressing out just a little.
Heaps & heaps of over the top praise for the good, never mind, try again next time for the misses

My DD is like this today, (I've resorted to bribery, there is plenty of Easter chocolate in the house that seems to be working) There are definitely "no more wees" until three minutes later when she's sat watching TV luckily she was sat in her own chair and not on the sofa. That is the third "puddle" in an hour, all the others have just been wet knickers when she's started weeing and then stopped. Goodness it's wearing and I hope she cracks it quickly.
