Good job! Our daughter is doing better but not great. She goes pee like 90% of the time at home but at daycare it’s like 50%. She is scared to poop on the potty. She has twice but usually she goes to the basement to hide to poop. I understand the struggle!
Potty training
I know all kids are different, and my son I realized early on probably wasn’t going to be one of the first kids potty trained. And I’m fine with that. But of course everyone has their opinions on it. And it’s really been bad lately. The problem is he’s TERRIFIED of the toilet. Big small, doesn’t matter. He doesn’t want his diaper off, and he won’t sit on them. We finally bribed him with M&m to just sit on it, full clothed a few months ago. And add in COVID, he doesn’t get to see other kids his age using the potty. Well last week he saw his cousin going potty outside! He’s three months younger than my guy, and it was enough for him to take interest! Then the day after he didn’t want a diaper on after playing outside in the water, and after a bit he said I need a diaper, and I said let’s go outside and pee like O (his cousin) AND HE DID! We live on a farm, so peeing outside isn’t the worst. So after that I got him to wear underwear, and He now refuses diapers except for at night. Its taken 2 days, but he’ll tell me he needs to go outside to go potty! He’s done 5 pees and 1 poop today. Given he’s peeing in his undies, but we’re getting there. I’m like on cloud 9, but everyone keeps shitting on my parade. Idk, I just need some positive reinforcement. He’s come so far in a few days, I feel like we’ll get the hang of pulling down underwear and using the toilet in no time🤷🏼♀️

We’re in the same boat. My daughter is at daycare though and typically goes on the potty at daycare (not poop though) but she’s terrible at home and honestly her father and I are not pushing it as much as we probably need too. I’m trying to show her, her pretty panties and she wants to wear them but she pees in them and just ask for a new pair like they are diapers. We’ll keep trying though.
That's amazing, for him to come so far in a couple of days. We potty trained our daughter at Christmas and it took a full week before she was pooing in the potty! She still occasionally has accidents. Just remember, your son has spent his entire life in nappies, this is a HUGE change for him, it will take a year or so before it is normal for him. You are doing well, ignore everyone else!
