Hi,
I am at a loss with the whole potty training ordeal .
My daughter has just turned 3 , she had been using the toilets for about 3 weeks with no accidents really . Skipped the potty altogether because she has always refused to sit on it, screaming like she was being slaughtered. The past 3 days she has decided she will not use the toilet anymore , neither obviously the potty. She just wets herself. And doesn’t care, like she did for a whole month before she decided to sit on the toilet . I honestly don’t think she has a urine infection, she just holds it in for hours until she just can’t anymore. I dipped it anyway and it was fine . I am honestly so annoyed at her . She 100% knows what she is doing . She just point blank refuses and puts her nappy on herself rather than the knickers. Pooing is also an ongoing issue in the sense she holds that in too but at least the wee part was sorted . I don’t know what to do. Nothing works , I took her dummy away which was like a heroin addiction for her , thinking she might use the toilet to have it back but she hasn’t. At least we ditched the dummy I guess. Doesn’t care about stickers / chocolate ..the usual things .
my partner doesn’t want to go back to nappy so I I just have tons of washing to do and the carpet to clean ( cannot wait to have wooden floor ). And he is now saying is obviously my fault because I’m crap at parenting , which tbh I do think I’m not really cut for it . I just find it so stressful, people constantly asks if she is potty trained , reminds me that she needs to be for school ..honestly if it was for me I’ll just keep her in nappies until she goes to school because I tried and tried and nothing works .
obviously he told me off because I have been shouting at her , which I know it doesn’t fix the problem but I don’t really know what to do , I’m just finding the whole thing a nightmare. Then he has the gut to ask me about another child 😳😳not with me for sure !
