Yeah I think you’re right. I got annoyed and had a snap at him earlier and ever since I’ve been in tears over it and feeling so guiltyI'd personally stop for a while and then try again at a later date, my son was 3 in March and is only now ready. If it's causing you both stress/upset then stop, it won't help either of you right now x
Far too much pressure is put on us as parents, and children, to potty train by a certain age. If a child isn't ready they aren't ready. I actually had to tell my son's nursery to stop banging on at me about it - they were quick to say he's got the understanding and speech of a 1-1.5 year old but yet expect him to be fully toilet trained. Makes no sense. Hopefully in a couple more weeks yours will be ready and take to it betterYeah I think you’re right. I got annoyed and had a snap at him earlier and ever since I’ve been in tears over it and feeling so guiltyI think leaving it for now is maybe for the best
Oh god there’s so much pressure on potty training. I fell out with my mum the other week because she kept harping on about it. She said to me that I “need to have it done by august or he won’t get into nursery” which isn’t true and I fully know that but it still stressed me out majorly. I think you’re right, another couple weeks and hopefully we’ll both be ready, thank youFar too much pressure is put on us as parents, and children, to potty train by a certain age.

Honestly what is it with mums. My mum has been banging on about it since last bloody summer!!! I am thankful we’re finally doing jt so she’ll shut upOh god there’s so much pressure on potty training.

Oh my god YES that’s exactly what mine said to me! I ended up saying well you can bloody do it then since you’re determined, that kept her quiet for a bitHonestly what is it with mums.

She kept telling me she just had to do it with me cos we had to have it done for school. Well that was 25 years ago doesn’t apply now.
They’re so annoying aren’t they
it can be so stressful.
I think this is my third or fourth attempt and he sort of started it off himself. I left the potty out and his pants off and just kept following him around for a few days ready to catch his weeI know this approach probably isn’t correct but it worked and he started weeing and pooing in it on his own accord.
good luck
Hahaha sorry I am just laughing because this was me on Saturday. Came on here having a breakdown and in the afternoon he’d been on the pottyOh my god YES that’s exactly what mine said to me! I ended up saying well you can bloody do it then since you’re determined, that kept her quiet for a bitat the end of the day it’s what ever works isn’t it?
BUT I have an update, in the three hours (I think) since I wrote my original post, he has done three pees and a poo in the potty! We cheered and he was so happy and he helps me take the potty upstairs to say bye bye to pee pee! So basically (as per) I think I’ve been stressing over nothing because he’s happily sitting on the potty himself and is so proud of himself, as am I! 🥹

It’s so weird seeing mine in underpants.Sods law isn't itmakes you realise just how much they are growing up too
Hahahah I’m just glad I’m not the only oneHahaha sorry I am just laughing because this was me on Saturday. Came on here having a breakdown and in the afternoon he’d been on the potty. Bloody kids
Mine takes his upstairs to and puts it down the loohe claps and goes yehhhh when he’s done something
I didn’t speak to my mum for three weeks cos she was driving me up the wall. Things are different these days to when we were growing up
I am very happy for you
Bloody typical! Oh I know, he’s just brought the potty through to the kitchen while I was making tea saying “look mama!” Now I’m sobbing again!Sods law isn't itmakes you realise just how much they are growing up too
I was soooo nervous all morning like I actually had stomach ache and cos we had an accident before we’d even got to nursery I was even more shook. But I can’t expect him to be “trained” on his first day at without meHahahah I’m just glad I’m not the only oneaw bless him, the clapping sounds so sweet thank you so much, you’ve really saved my sanity today
Omg 🥹🥹. This is brilliantBloody typical! Oh I know, he’s just brought the potty through to the kitchen while I was making tea saying “look mama!” Now I’m sobbing again!thank you so much for your kind words earlier!
Do you think if I complain about how mine doesn’t nap, it’ll make her start to nap? Desperate at this stage but that’s twice in 48 hours it’s happened now on this thread so there must be some kind of magic happeningSods law isn't itmakes you realise just how much they are growing up too
I don't really know what age they learn this. But my 5 year old wouldn't be able to tell this unless they told her directlyAt what age should a toddler be able to recognise social cues? My daughter has really come out of her shell and is able to make friends but she doesn’t seem to understand when they want space. She is quite intense and will get into their personal space and is a bit pushy and shovy. She doesn’t seem to recognise when the other child wants her to back off.
If they try and refuse it twice, i normally wait a few months and try it again. If they dont like it again, i'll leave it 6 months or so and maybeeee try again. It depends.At nursery my daughter always refuses the fish pie so they’ve started giving her tomato pasta instead and I have no issue with this. I’m strict with dinner and if she doesn’t want to eat it that’s fine, I don’t pressure her but I refuse to cook a second dinner. It just made me think at what point do you accept they don’t actually like something e.g. fish compared with just being a fussy toddler?
my child is like this - she expects that every child will want to play with her and gets upset when they don’t. She’s only 3.5 so it’s just one of those things, I’ve asked her to ask the child if they want to play and if they say no, there’s maybe someone else here who is feeling lonely and wants a friend. She plays well on her own too thoughAt what age should a toddler be able to recognise social cues?

I have wondered this in the past. And I read a nutritionist say basically you just keep trying forever, as even adults can change their mind and start to like something. I think keeping offering is the best way, as my 10yo eats a variety of food now she wouldn’t have wen she was little (and also doesn’t eat some things she would have back thenAt nursery my daughter always refuses the fish pie so they’ve started giving her tomato pasta instead and I have no issue with this.
