Losing the will to live already...

... we've been potty training for three hours and I want to jack it in already. DD is 2.11 and very smart. We've talked about potty training, she's been excited to wear knickers, knows what the potty is for etc, but in terms of being out of nappies it's been three hours and I've had enough. She has weed through every single pair of knickers she's had on. Not a single drop in the potty. She's happy to sit on the potty, happy to try but just wees in her knickers. I know I'm not supposed to get cross but I'm really, really fed up already. She's done about six or seven wees now so plenty of opportunity to have a go at the potty but each one she's proudly come and told me she's wet herself. Can someone give me a kick up the arse please and tell me to get a grip? Oh, and can someone also tell me she'll get it please?

Right, what do we do when we (eventually) go out and she needs the loo? She's sitting okay on the big loo at home with a trainer seat. Do I just hold her on a normal loo?

I have bought a little foldable seat that I can stick in the bag when we go out. Or just take a potty...

Shock

My reward to myself for getting through potty training is a normal sized handbag. No more nappies! I can't lug a potty about surely?!

M0reGin I have a travel potty / pottete thing that folds flat. Its basically just replaced the nappies etc so still a largish bag!

Worth it tho to be able to whip out places where the seats are too big or they refuse to go

We had a 100% success rate today (day 3), including a poo, wearing knickers and using the little seat on the normal loo.

I was feeling smug until ten minutes ago when she did an enormous wee all over the sofa.

It's still going okay, right?
