Feel a bit bullied into training but is it mean to quit?

[babyblabber]

DS is 3 in November and was thinking of potty training around September but the crèche insisted he was ready so started a week and a half ago. It's going ok, he rarely has wee accidents but it's 50/50 with poos. But having said that we've only been on very short trips to the shops (he's afraid of hand dryers so hates going into public bathrooms, can't imagine him asking to go in one!) or to grandparents houses so far.

I have an 8 week old DD that is fed on demand so find it very stressful when I'm on my own with the 2 of them & feel trapped in the house. DH has stags on 2 weekends in a row (thankfully only 1 day ones), then we're going to Portugal and then we have 2 weddings, one of which the kids will be at and the other SIL is minding DS.

These are the reasons I was waiting til September and am now thinking they'll all be a nightmare while potty training so would love to just pack it in for a while.

Is that really cruel & confusing for DS though? Was thinking I could put him in pull ups rather than back in nappies and still encourage him to go to the loo. Any thoughts?

As he is actually doing amazing, I really wouldn't back down now. He may totally surprise you and just do it. We have been training for quite some time and DD1 is totally dry, but poos are just a nightmare! He is doing sooo well!
Get out more. You're gonna have to at some point, bite the bullet and go for it!

Still in early training with my DS, but looking at other threads in this section, it seems poos usually take longer to master than wees, especially for boys. He is doing well, so I'd stick with it. The danger is that he'll feel like he's failed somehow otherwise, and then completely lose interest. That said, imho I don't think there's any harm in having a few nappies to hand to deal with poos at awkward times or at weddings.
