Potty training
I’m annoyed and I don’t know if I’m annoyed because I already don’t like my family or if this is something normal sane people would be mad over to.
Iv been trying to potty train my son since he was 18 months old to literally no effect. My son who now 3 and a half, has zero care for potty training. I’ll buy underwear with his favorite characters on them and he’ll cry and ask for a pamper. Not that I give in but still he’s not working with me here. We’ve set up sticker charts and things for him, you know the if you sit on the potty you get a candy style of teaching. He will literally sit on the potty for 30+ minutes with me either sitting right next him singing trying to make this fun or me hovering just outside the bathroom so he can get privacy. And he won’t use the toilet. Soon as he stands up he’ll pee on the floor, but he won’t pee in the 30 minutes he’s on the toilet. For about the last year Iv been working full time and my boyfriend has always rarely been home because he’s always at work so my sons spends a good chunk of his day at grandmas. Whose raised many kids of her own and way to many grandkids, nieces and nephews so she’s tried to help me but it’s a lot to ask of her when she has other kids to watch, one being under a year old. My family is just “what do you mean he’s not potty trained he should have been potty trained before his second birthday. Why are you being so lazy about this”. And frankly I am lazy about this, I don’t want to spend my days off fighting with my son about wearing underwear over a diaper. So ya there are a days I don’t and I know it’s not the best thing for him but I’m doing my best.
Well yesterday my grandma texted me to be on the look out for an Amazon package. Figured she got my son something for Easter, cool not a problem I’ll keep an eye out. It finally arrives about an hour also and it’s pull ups and a potty training sticker chart.
Like I’m just annoyed and honestly thinking about returning it. Would this annoy else or am I being dramatic.
