Potty training doesnt take that long and that accidents arent normal. It's only anecdotal but I know many children who have been potty trained successfully without all the issues Shan is having. This isn't down to poor G's readiness, he is over 3, he is more than ready. Its fully Shan's parental skills - or lack thereof.

She pretended she suffered from infertility because it took them 5 months to get pregnant just to get sympathy and likes and now she is pretending she might have had some postpartum depression, when she doesnt even frekking know what that actually means, just to flog unnecessary private therapy.

A (probably American) 'therapist' probably isnt the right person to diagnose you with 'a little bit of PPD'. Its pretty serious diagnosis you get from a psychiatrist.

She is a bad excuse for a human.

This is so re-assuring to hear! I would take your lot advice any day rather than Shan's! Will look at the book too

My little girl has been potty trained for a year. She was dry by day 4 and using a potty. We don’t have a potty anymore and she just uses the toilet now. She has gone through phases of having more accidents! Mainly if she’s playing and ignoring the urge to go to continue playing. If I remind her to use the toilet at nursery before I drop her off, she usually stays dry. Little things like that help her. Accidents due to distraction are quite normal up to about age 5 in my experience as an early years teacher. What isn’t normal is just having accident after accident, long term.

My youngest was between 3-3.5 ish when I potty trained her, only ever had accidents but she has tummy issues. My eldest was the same with no accidents, she was just under 3. He wasn't ready and they can regress when a big event happens like a sibling being born, moving house, new nursery etc.

Oh yes my eldest had a couple when she started school! She was so engrossed in what was going on and they didn't have as many reminders to go to the toilet like they did at nursery. She'd never had an accident before starting school though

This is disgusting - saying her son is emotionally manipulating her?! The levels she is going to for views and attention are vile. Poor George might find all of this when he's older, rather than seeing things that say how much his mum loved him, all he will see is that she thought he was emotionally manipulative, difficult etc...poor poor child.

If she thought she had ppd in the newborn days why not address it then? Why wait until H is 7 months old? Ohh yeah, because she wasn't offered free therapy, unless she got it on the nhs but there's no benefit for her then. She's using ppd to make a profit and it makes me sick, she's fucking vile.

This is how I always feel about her. In real life I truly don't know any mums that speak about their children like this. Not even those that actually did have Post Partum Depression (unlike Shan who faked it because she probably had the wrong expectations on motherhood) talk like this about their kids.

She likes self-diagnosing herself for likes/profit/sympathy. So far she's had infertility, hypermobility and PDD. Yet to see proof that she had a specialist formally diagnose her with any of those.

As someone that has had both secondary infertility (we had to have IVF for our second-born) and formally diagnosed with hypermobility, I find it really insulting that she is pretending or thinks she "might" have these.

'Emotionally manipulated' by her THREE year old!? She is absolutely vile, absolutely lowest of the low when it comes to parenting.

I also don't know a single person and have never heard another single person express such hatred and anger towards their own children. She isn't fit a be a mother, fact.

I mean I could imagine some people saying the things she does and it being funny but Shan is not funny in the slightest and it just makes her look like a witch and a terrible mother

The thing is, people probably do talk about their kids like this after a bad day, but it's usually to family or friends who will understand why you are saying that. Not documenting it to hundreds of strangers and being online for him to maybe see one day. This is why you need friends in life..... Something Shan doesn't have.

I mean do what works. I've never read a book on potty training any of mine I just went with mine and their instincts and its been fine.

The point is, preparing your child for anything takes time and patience and we can agree that Shan has shown none of this to G. Still having accidents a year later, give the kid a break and try again in a few months. Must be destroying his confidence.

I've not watched the vlog but I'm willing to bet the number of accidents at home are related to how much TV he watches. It took my eldest until he was almost 4 to reliably be able to notice he needed the toilet whilst engrossed in TV, so a condition of it going on was that he tried on the toilet first, and we never left it on for too long.

Are influencers really flogging therapy for their insta pennies now. Something about that doesn't sit right with me, dimwits profiting from others mental health problems. Genuinely shocked.

Urgh, that last IG story: "I still don't know what I'm doing but they're still alive".

If that's as low as your parenting goals reach maybe motherhood isn't for you.

It made me feel funny as well... hope no one who has lost a baby read that. Just didn't sit nicely with me. Might be a reach but I did not like that post.
