Hi muggen

Quote From: muggens

I am being as consistent as i can: She wears underwear all day, pull ups at night, I ignore accidents and reward success. I don't believe in shaming a child but yes, she has spent plenty of time in wet pants at the store, park, zoo, you name it. And this has been going on for a year. So you tell me when these wet pants might start to bother her. Don't worry you didn't offend but you might want to be more careful about the words you choose. Judging people and thier parenting when you don't even know them. Don't you think people come to this board when they just don't know what else to do? If we could all only be so lucky to have children as perfect as yours!

I do apologize for making you angry and it was not my intent to sound if I was judging you and I don't have perfect children.  You may try to do away with the pull ups at night this may be confusing her.  I put plastic bags on the mattress and then the sheet it worked after several times of changing the sheets.  But it was worth it. 

 

I as you don't beleive in shaming your child or mine.  I don't think that is shaming or do you?  IT is showing her that is not right to wet her panties but each person has a different way of viewing things.  How about having herself clean up after she does her mess.  Have her clean after what she did and at that sametime you are showing her responsibility to take care of the things she does.  I just wish you good luck and a whole lot of patience.

 

Again I do apologize for upsetting you that was not my intention I just seem to write my opinion.

I totally agree with you.  How can you jugde others who are only asking for help?  I have twins who are 4 (boy/girl).  For the life of me I can't get them to poop in the potty.  We have tried stickers, suckers, gum, time-out, spanking, and even the character underwear and panties and nothing seems to be working.  My daughter has always hated when you have to clean her up.  She just screams "don't hurt me" and clamps her legs together.  You would think that as many times as I have told her that if she would just go to the potty we wouldn't have to do this, she would get the hang of it and not want to go in her panties.  I feel like I do nothing but change dirty panties/underwear.  As soon as I get one cleaned up, there goes the other one.  My 12 year old was a breeze to train.  Not these.  Hang in there.  Maybe someting will help us one day.

My son is only two and half. I've started potty training with him and I'm already annoyed and frustrated. I don't know if I just don't have any patience, but I just don't understand why it's so difficult. I am trying to be patient and give him time and wait until he's "ready". But that is A LOT easier said than done. It is literally holding him back at his daycare. He can't move onto the next class until he gets potty trained.

AMEN!  My son is 3 1/2 and I am having the opposite problem - he urinates in the potty every time but won't poop in it.  I have been consistent and tried everything I can think of and I'm still fighting this battle.  Kids ARE all different and you can't accuse a parent of not inconsistency just because the child won't cooperate!
