I really am at my wits end with potty training :(
We've had a lot of failed attempts and now everyone is stressed and I feel like a shit mum. He's three next month and pretty bright I think - good understanding and vocabulary. When I tell people he isn't potty trained I get raised eyebrows as if I am being lazy. But I've tried bloody everything!!
Today he has had about ten wee accidents and one poo accident. He never says he needs the toilet and he never manages to wee on the toilet. He cries until I let him wear trousers, and then as soon as the trousers are on, wees in them. If I say he needs to sit on the toilet after he does this, he cries hysterically. He doesn't seem bothered if his trousers are wet or have poo in them. He totally understands about using the toilet, tells me all the people who use the toilet and loves playing putting toilet roll down there etc. I get that potty training isn't easy but I started trying with some gentle training when my little one was two months old and she's now ten months...
Any ideas?! I think it would be easier if he would go bare bottomed for a while but he's absolutely hysterical if not wearing a pair of trousers! He's been through so many today, my washing machine can't keep up!
