Oh agreed - it is such hard work when it’s dropped. Especially going in the car anywhere after 11am
. My eldest is literally days younger than G and the nap was completely dropped by June last year I think at 2y 9m and that was after a few months of transitioning to no nap. Like you said though, it’s really tough and it means you have a child with you at all times when they’re at home (and I suspect she misses the alone time having had another child) but you do these things because they are right for your child, not because you miss arsing about on your phone like she does.

I totally think you’re right here too. I’ve said it before but I really think she thought nursery would just do the leg work for her since he was in 4 full days per week but they are there to support training, not facilitate it.
It’s always a case of her cutting corners when things are tough. I think it shows her immaturity. She’s still letting him nap now because she gets quiet time for herself immediately but then pays for it all evening, causing herself tons of stress because G rightly isn’t tired. Same with the toilet training. She didn’t want to put in the hard work for a few days but is paying for it long term. Goodness knows what it’s doing to his self esteem by having accidents most days. Imagine if he was what, 10 days younger? He’d be starting school this year! She’s fortunate that he isn’t. It’s obviously very common for young children to have toilet accidents but not daily for a child who allegedly was trained so long ago. She just can’t seem to see that she makes life so difficult for herself in the long term because of poor choices in the immediate.
