Same!

Same here 😀

Yep, Same for me Too! 😀😀

Haha I have 2 their kids ages and this is EXACTLY what it’s like! Humor and all. Think of it as preparation 😜

Same here, but I’ve been learning a lot

Same 😅

Same!😂😂😂 5. Relapsed 😳, I thought, “Oh shet.”

My son would yell "I'M DOOOONE!" and he went like 10 times a day XD

Yeah

My oldest did this while we were in church and a bunch of people heard 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ MOMMYYYY!!! IM DONE POOOOOOPIIINNGG!! COME WIPE MY BUTT!!!!

My 5 year old granddaughter will STILL do this from time to time....

And always when you have guests, lol.

The two hour thing is what saved me, for real! Good advice. Also the no choices 😂 I still make her sit right before we go anywhere, and probably will for a long long time.

Same here! I worked in daycares for years and did homecare after my child was born. The key was to wait until they show signs of readiness (can hold it sometimes, can talk enough to express when they need to go, are dextrous enough to get their own clothes off) but don't wait forever. And once you start, be consistent! You'll be washing a lot of clothes in the beginning, but if you keep switching back and forth to diapers during waking hours, the whole process will take so much longer.

😂 I only have experience with 1 kiddo ❤& thank god for her ability- I Put her on the toilet for poop at 7 mo ..?!

My boy was easy to poop train. My girl was the one who took FOREVER to poop train!

Thank you!! Your say on this is super helpful and encouraging for us parents potty-training our toddlers, especially that they're boys!!

it happens more then you think

I didn't train my second daughter at all. She just kept following her sister into the bathroom. She trained at a year and a half! This wasn't my plan, BTW. Peer pressure is real!

That's brilliant

Yes, I often think of how truly needed baby shower gifts would scare people. "Why did you get me an upholstery cleaner, dry shampoo, and an industrial strength OtterBox?" People have kids with no baby stuff in some places all around the world. "Kids are not expensive, the things kids break are expensive."

😂

@@SRose-vp6ew right?!? Everybody wants to buy cutesy presents. I'm very pragmatic when it comes to gift giving, for all occasions.

Or coupon for a pet cleaner vacuum with cleaners. I bought a hand-held one for my sister's wedding because one of her cats like to puke all over the house. Works like a dream.

“Months” 😮

Your in my prayers baby momma. There is an end to this insanity called parenthood.

I’m going through this now. If you can walk, and talk, you can poop in the damn toilet. 😭

@@spookyara537 right??!?! For the love of all that is holy just use the FRIGGIN TOILET!!

Me too!

Pull ups. As long as she's potty trained before kindergarten who cares. Just keep on trying.

Pride about Age and Skill is a strong motivation.

eh. that depends on the kid. I was daytime potty trained at 2 1/2. Night time was an entire different ball game, and I frequently wet till 15, and a few scattered accidents at 16.

I was night potty trained by 8-9 years. Thought it was my shame till I had a relapse at 22 years old which was caused from vivid dreams of waking up and going to the toilet. Agree that everyone's success timeline is different.

Im doing this when my daughter gets back from the grandparents. You tell your mom she's a freaking genius.

Tried that and my kid would still just shit and piss himself anyway and then scream for candy regardless.

My mom did the same thing! Haha. My brother & I asked our sister every single second of every day if she had to go potty. My grandpa even got in on it & got m&ms too. 😂 she was potty trained in less than a week.

Same!! Peer pressure was more effective the more kids we had 😆 By #5, he had 4 kids following him around telling him to go potty so they could ALL get a piece of chocolate.

My oldest is only three but...... Maybe I should try this? My one year old has such terrible skin reactions to diapers (cloth or disposable, doesn't matter) and we HAVE to potty train her 😬 We did EC with our first which was awesome, but I flaked out with our second and I'm seriously regretting it.

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever read.

Omg! I just died from laughing.

Did not expect to laugh so suddenly XD

Thanks a lot now my cats think I'm nuts from laughing so hard. This is the best story to bring out later in life.

Omgosh, this is the funniest 😂

You can do it! You got this, you will sleep again 🙃

Exactly!!! 1 am here - getting me through rougher nights

For anyone else finding this -- yes, you eventually get to sleep again, and it's wonderful. But then I had a second, so I'm back to square 1. See you in another 2 years.

Sshh you're not supposed to tell anyone about that stage. Otherwise no one would have kids anymore. Says the lady with only cats that are self litterbox trained.

Lol! We just exited that stage to the "alright, for real this time... seriously stage"

Same. First one perfect. Second was great peeing, but loved his poop to much 🤣 oh and also life changes is critical too. Third one didn't get much time with running around so much, he trained himself

Apparently when my mom tried to tell my brother that potty training was good because it was sign he was growing up he replied "but I want to be a baby forever". My mom was just like "......oh god"

Heal up from surgery! Thanks for watching!

Yes! And dont pressure them. Let them have diapers on, and they will tell you if they want to use the toilet or just go in their diaper. It will be a gradual shift.

A person I knew was trying to potty train their daughter at a year because her mother-in-law told her that she needed to have potty trained that child before she got pregnant with the second one. It was a good Catholic family so the mother-in-law was expecting my friend to start popping out kids every year. This was the same mother-in-law that told my friend her month old baby needed to be on a schedule and to just let her "cry it out."

My son is 3 and he will pee on the potty, still has accidents but I can't get him to poop or tell me he needs to poop til after he already has. How can I get him to poop in the potty? Cause he thinks he only has to pee on it

@@SabresGuy87 does he poop around the same time everyday? Maybe you can try to catch him way before, and sit him down on the potty with a show or book. The more time on there, the more likely he'll have success. Then make a huge deal about what a good boy he is when he finally does it. He'll get it eventually. My little boy had a harder time than my girls for some reason. By the way, if you think he's holding it in you can give him a warm bath and that should help.

@@belindajohansen2899 In my experience, there's some truth to that. It depends on the kid tho, everyone is different and I would just ask parents to prayerfully consider each option/approach etc. Letting them "cry it out" if they're truly tired enough/it's nap time ( but not super worked up type overtired ) and nothing is wrong with them, CAN really help. They CAN ( depends on the kid and what all is going on - some babies turn out to have colic or something ) quickly actually be helped to be on a better schedule by this, and to give up thinking they can cry and get to go back out to where the action is, and just lay down and drift off. I'm never for pressuring a mom to go against her instinct, you can really get a feel for each individual child and each one is unique. And I'm also all for doing things as naturally as possible, so, not for being over-sensitive or spoiling etc., yet definitely going with what's often more how we were created to be than many of the traditional, rather artificial approaches. Such as, sleeping with baby, keeping baby with you on your body in a carrier/sling, etc. . These WON'T make your baby un-healthfully attached to u, imo, if you encourage them to continue to grow and become ever more independent and to be held by/spend time with others in your family/friends. If they're clingy anyway, they actually probably would've been no matter what - some of us are people-people, and tend towards clingyness and/or slower maturing. We WILL gradually go out on our own more, better if not pressured ! Anyways, on the potty training. Sometimes it CAN actually go easier starting them asap. Before they get so used to just sitting in their own poop. Yes, this means more months of helping them, wiping them etc. while they're so little, but you'd be spending that time anyways. Boys esp. tend to be the ones much slower to potty train, either regardless, or if u miss an early opportunity and then you're stuck still working on it at 4 years old. Most of mine were pretty well trained by 3 and a half. I didn't know about the super early starting method at the time, just started at about 2 years on average.

If its still hot where you are, take away pants privileges for an afternoon... nudity seems to increase body awareness and also, its super cute running thru the sprinkler...

Ally, it doesn’t get better, just different, lol.😉

@@ladypaz yes fr!! Lol

@@ladypaz And then as they morf into young adults they get rude and make you glad you can push them out the door to college. Always testing the limits of your love and pushing your buttons expertly along the way. Parental love is unconditional, but one does not need to subject themselves to the abuse the big ones can lay out. It is ok to tell them they are being rude and that you need to not be around them while they can not treat you with respect. Always model the behavior you want them to take on.

@@evansfamily8156 so true. They can really put you through the wringer.

Oh heck no, that’s my husbands job. I’m SUCH a bad driver, no one wants me to teach it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good luck my friend!! It's an uphill battle!

You'd think she would be potty trained before she started teaching.

This is invaluable! Thank you!

It will happen! Dont give up!

my mum tried that technique, I swear on my life I was 7 and a bit when I was finally reliably trained lol

They make kids take longer to trainm

Oh, yeah. They worked great.

I may or may not have cried while scooping poop of the floor
