DS is basically potty trained but has a bladder the size of a walnut and waits until he's bursting to tell me he needs a pee. He regularly has pee accidents because he doesn't have great awareness when he needs to go (or he's just not bothered). DH thinks we will be able to just find a place to stop and let him go. I think it will end in tears, Piss on his seat or even a car crash. last time we tried this he screamed because he had to go so bad and DH took ages to find a safe place to stop which was very, very stressful for everyone.
what do you do on long journeys with your almost potty trained dcs?

No I don't think he should. I agree with regular stops. You could give him a very thick old towel to sit on though in case of accidents and then he has a kind of safety net.

Yeah! Well done DS and you!

Well done to your DS.

nosleep It would have had to have been done at some point, but you are braver than I.
