it's like, i'm doing the best i possibly can considering the fact that i work, and that her dad has the lunatic work schedule/lifestyle so there's little support there. Kaia is 2.5 years old and she's still in diapers.

she goes to a home day care and there is another 2 year old who is already trained (she has an older sister). I've discussed potty training numerous times with the lady but to be honest i'm not sure what exactly is going on during the day. she still asks me to provide diapers. a couple of months ago, she would tell me that she put kaia on the toilet with a potty seat, but the major issue is the midget will not tell anybody she has to go before she goes. it's either me patting her diaper thru her clothes to determine if she's wet, or if it's #2, i can smell it in the next room. She does manage to say "oooh, stinky" after she takes a shit, but that's not really helpful.

anyway, i bought her a potty before she was 18 months old. i try to take her when i go, i bought her a little book with flushing sound effects that she will read, but she still won't warn a nigga. Now, she will take a piece of tissue and try to wipe her butt, and she will hop up on the toilet and wash her hands with no assistance, so i guess the day care lady has taught her something. besides that, i just ask "can you go get mommy a diaper?" and she'll run into the bathroom and bring me one.

i'm frustrated, she should've been going potty a while ago. she is very smart but this is just not happening like it's supposed to. right now since i'm home, i just threw a pair of panties on her, and i'm repeatedly asking her does she have to go potty, she keeps saying no. my mother says "let her shit on herself a couple of times, she'll start telling you beforehand". *shrugs*

need advice. i feel like nobody really takes this shit seriously except for me.

and just make her sit on the potty till she makes it happen.
I think thats what cracked my daughter...
just making her sit on that thing forever til it sunk in.

i actually had the whole week off and kept her outta day care a couple weeks ago. that would've been the perfect time but i hadn't bought the panties, and couldn't leave the house because i had no house/car keys

I hyped up the
"BIG GIRL vs BABY"
I think that really helped too. She was all about being a big girl...hence babys take naps big girls get to stay up...transfer that over to the potty...

We went thru it, the yelling, the reprimanding, the forced potty seat sittings. i was at my wits end.

I asked the pediatrician about, he says, just give her a week, don't say a thing.

And that actually worked, she started going on her own.

My daughter was the not tell until too late kind too. We had a home daycare hook up as well. She suggested letting the child run around with no pannies/diapers. I was like you crazy as shit ..........but we did it.

Apparently some kids won't let the poo run down the legs even though they're willing to have it smushed on the ass.

whens their time...12?
Papmers is expensive yo! Especially them pull ups.

in fuckin diaper. that's not normal.

Its the kids who have a "bed wetting" problem who are in diapers. I wish they had those things when my elementary school best friend was spending the night. There were plenty of nights when my gown was wet, and I didn't go to the bathroom.

it's frustrating but i will say this every child is different so it may take more time than u hoped... but keep at it.

trust, i've looked into

all that person is gonna do is tell you to put the child in some underwear, and when they mess themselves, they clean themselves up.

that's the exact same thing i'm doing, just keeping 3 bills in my pocket.

i was like for starters ur out the crib in Jan soon as i buy this new bedroom set
secondly how can i be mad at such athletic greatness?????????????i mean we are talking 4-5 feet and no bumps and bruises... and he was nice enough to let me know he got it and was ok.

I got a good life man

she got hers in the beginning of october.

she will get out of bed at night, move a chair over to the light switch and turn it on, and start playing with her toys.

i used to get pissed, but i said "when she gets tired, she knows where her bed is"

sure enough, she turned on the light, played for about 45 minutes, then hopped back on the chair to turn it off, and got in bed. lol

lil monkeys, i swear.

i'm about to scoop her up now and have her help me with the dishes, she likes to help dry...

"rick ross got old african woman swag" (c)nayaa

makes me want to ask my mother how she trained me when I see her this weekend.

i just basically let her play outside in our back yard for most of the weekend with no diaper or panties on. i put the little mini potty seat out there with her. i told her to use the pot if she had to pee pee or make a stinky and she didn't really use it. on monday when she had to pee she tried to take her diaper off cuz she didn't want to pee on herself. and that was basically all she wrote.

i'd never reccomend repremanding your child for not using the potty though. it has proven to be a very important stage in thier lives and if it is traumatic, it can stay with them into thier adult lives. they will figure it out in thier own time.

one of my good friends had a lot of luck with panties with the plastic panties over top of them.

then i'll know she's ready.


______________________________________________________

you stay classy, haters.
then, go fuck yourselves.

who did the let them run around w/ no pamper on technique... more than anything else i've heard it works...

excrement itches when it's not in that comfy warm cozy ass diaper...

and they know that shit is nasty so they don't want it on them...

i know a lot of white ppl who be on that let them do it in their own time shit... but most of their kids didn't train till they were like three or four...

i think if she can talk, and i'm a FIRM believer that if she can go GET pamper, she don't need to be WEARING a pamper... so the only thing i can offer friend is be consistent...


that sit there all day and night shit ain't fun, cuz what my friends boy does is sit there for hours and hours, she finally takes him off after like 3-4 hours (cuz who wants their two year old sitting on the potty for two hundred hours) puts him in the damn pullup, and he uses the pull up... UGH...

the other thing i've seen is make them sit after they eat, cuz most kids gotta go after they eat... i think that's what that elimination communication shit is...

once ur kids on a schedule, u know what time they're gonna piss or poop, and just PREEMPTIVELY put them ont he potty...

1) patience! it'll come. *...* it'll happen.

2) give yourself a break. shit happens. literally. i know how frustrating it is trust me but...getting frustrated w/ yourself, husband or kid is counter productive.

3) u kind of threw your man under the bus in the post. from a male POV i'd be a lil pissed w/ your wording. true or not or whatveer....tis what it tis

what? the nigga is hardly at home, bin... what can i say

as for the actual training...put her on the toilet EVERY hour. exhausting? yes. got to be done. fill her full of water/juice to make her have to pee. EVERY hour...get on the toilet. do u have to potty? u got to pee? lets go potty. etc...when she actually pees/poops...go apeshit w/ the praise. lose it! do flips whatever.

^^^^very useful suggestion, thanks


do that this WHOLE long wknd...i guarantee by monday she'll be straight

good luck

Take a long weekend...but don't stop there and literally put them on the toilet every hour (you might be able to get away with 2 hours actually) BUT, remain RELIGIOUS about it. Just prop them up there and continue to talk about using the POTTY(or whatever term you want to use) The children are smart. They will figure it out before too long.

Most of all, just go easy on yourself. Relax, the shit will come.

is the truth right here. ive potty trained a couple of lil ones in my day and this is what u want to do...its called "fluid loading" and id also suggest that yes you go insane with the praise, but also add something to the mix like a couple of m&ms or something

The father did that better with my son than I did. I don't have any advice to offer but I bid you good luck.

keeps clothes and furniture from getting wet, but they feel the complete feeling of peeing on themselves. diapers and pullups wick away the moisture almost instantly so its not uncomfortable. there is no incentive for training.

it worked with both my daughters and ive used it at my preschool for years.

you'll need to start it with her like on a fri after daycare and do it really heavily over the weekend. you'll need to talk to your provider also about it. send her with several changes of clothing (bottoms) and 3 or 4 pairs of panties and the plastic covers.

its thee fastest way to potty train.

incentives work well too. i made up a sticker book and when she got a certain number of stickers we'd go get icecream or something.

once they finish drinking make them go.

I give Makaylah 15 minutes then I make her go seat on the potty. And she knows she can't get up until something happens I don't care how much she whines.


The hardest is the #2. Sometimes she goes hide in the corner to do it and then I smell it or she'll start then say to me she has to go and finishes up.

You just got to stay on her. Niceness is out the door. 09 is underwear time. I am not trying to buy anymore pullups for real.

....cause at the beginning they NEVER warn you. lol. we sang a little song and applauded when she would pee. also, we would wake her up once or twice during the night to keep her from wetting the bed. she was trained pretty quick.

now doing #2? it took us FOREVER to convince her to poo in the potty. we finally had to just make sure she was eating lots of fruits and vegetables, wait for that "dookie face," and then rush her to the loo. eventually, she decided that she liked the turds better in the toilet than in her draws.

oh and for both onesies and twosies, we made it a point not to rush and clean her up. i mean, we ain't let her wallow in it or nothing, but we wanted her to associate the discomfort of having your own waste all up on you with going in your drawz.

******************SIGGY*******************

good suggestions, thank you.

....the night, but waking them up at the beginning keeps them from being bed-wetters later on. my niece is only three and i swear she's only peed the bed like once or twice since she got potty trained a year ago.

but yeah. pull-ups at night can work just fine.
also, you can just restrict her liquids about an hour before bed, and make sure she goes before she hits the sack. that will also keep you from having to wake her up.

It funny how different kids are about this...our kid was dropping bombs in the toilet, before she'd even tell us she had to pee. I think she really doesn't like the feeling of the poo on her skin. But those diapers are so damn absorbant that I think she was cool peeing in them, even though she'd always tell us when she had to poop.

....like all of this worked with my niece, but my child may be TOTALLY different. lol. there really is no manual.

i think she was embarrassed because it took longer than peeing, and we were sitting there waiting for her to do it. and we *had* to sit there with her because she never took to her toddler potty, and she always used the real one. we were scared she'd fall in or fall off or something. lol.

******************SIGGY*******************

With my daughter my wife would take her to the bathroom with her, and even if she had already peed or pooped in her diaper, if she tells us something is in their, we'd still go sit her on the potty.

One day it just clicked, although when she says she has to pee you have approximately 0.5 sec to get her to a toilet!

Keep in mind that between that 2-3 years they're just getting some control of their little sphincters.

My ex's aunt used to babysit and she potty trained my daughter very quickly.

My ex's mother potty trained my son, although that took a while.

I did the exact same thing over a weekend and he was trained. They say these new diapers with all that dry weave and stuff keeps them from feeling the wetness.

my son is almost 3 1/2 and we're still working on him. We started trying to potty train him last spring by taking him out of diapers and putting him in Pull-ups, but that didn't work at first. He'd just use the Pull-up like a diaper. Then one day a few days after his 3rd birthday, he just went to his potty one day and peed on his own. We got him a potty that came with congratulations stickers so every time he used it he got a sticker to put on the lid.

He's trained now for the most part, but if he's playing or something, he won't stop to go pee. However, he ALWAYS does #2 in the potty or toilet even if we're out in public, which is great for us cause that means no more stinky changes. I've learned in these months that potty training takes a great deal of patience and that they will learn at their own pace. We just gotta encourage them and not punish them too harshly when they don't quite get it or when they have accidents.....

to do it, she will. None of the three that I have were the same. Still working on Miss I Just Turned Two. The middle one was doing it and chilling by now (she was done before she turned 2)and the first one did it, regressed and then learned all over again by 2.5.

You just never know..You are doing your best. Keep trying different stuff.


(Sneezes) Sorry, I am allergic to bullsh#t.

You sound like you want me to change your mind. I ain't here for all of that sh@t. I'll explain my side and that's it.

he basically modeled what my father did and when my father wasn't around and he needed a little coaxing to make it to the potty, i ran with him (his hand in mine) all the way while saying, "let's go potty. let's go potty. we're almost there." we also copped some themed underwear for little man and put the plastic undies over them as well. he felt like a "big boy" because he just knew he had on "big boys' underwear." so, i think that had a lot to do with him wanting to go potty.

but that baby boy? I've prayed that I never have a son who was as bad to potty train as he was. I had to basically make him sit on the potty until he did something. I mean, like right in front of the tv and etc. he was stubborn about it. He would sit on the potty for about 30 minutes or so, then get up (the days I was frustrated with him, I'd make him get up) and that little son of a gun would go right there in front of the potty on the floor. *slaps forehead* I still think he did it out of spite.

I've always *heard* that girls were easier. My mom made it sound like I was the easiest when it came to potty training. She always says, "it's like you just knew. I hardly did any work when it came to potty training you."

the boys now (our uncle is in the middle) http://tinyurl.com/8s5v8w
