Day two. DD is 2.7 and I'm so close to giving up but DH and DM think I've come this far and should push on.
So she's holding in her wee until she's dancing around bursting and letting little bits out all over the place getting increasingly agitated.
I'm asking regularly if she needs a wee and she always says no.
I'm trying to sit her on her potty every so often, she screams.
I've offered her a chocolate button if she sits on her potty. She does, but no wee, even if she's bursting. She won't stay on there long.
So far since yesterday morning she's done a few spots in the potty which I've made a big deal about and given her a little toy car and said there are more if you do more wees. But all big wees have been on the floor, usually when she's distracted by something else.
She's usually very regular with one or two poos a day but nothing since yesterday morning.
I have a 6mo baby who I'm breastfeeding so sometimes I can't get to her in time before an accident happens. It's stressing me out but I'm not making her feel bad about accidents, but she gets very upset about them.
I'm hating this! Is it really supposed to be this hard. I hate staying in too but I'm too scared to go anywhere. Is it supposed to be this hard?

Today would be day 5 with my DD and after day 3 being really good, yday we had our first day out and 3 accidents during the day. Last night she was dry overnight but then this morning we haven't got timing right and she has had 2 accidents and not even that bothered. Am I confusing her if I go back to nappies now? I just don't know if she is ready and it's so stressful!
