My dd just turned 3 and has pretty much been potty trained for the last 2 months or so. At first she didnt have any accidents while sleeping or during the day, but recently shes started peeing on the floor or the couch or wherever she happens to be ( shes usually wearing her princess dress w/out undies)(Shes started peeing the bed every night and once or twice on floor during day) My husband thinks she shouldnt be having accidents and has started threatening to put her back in diapers and he gets frustrated with her which is obviously upsetting to her. Im more laid back and feel that its normal for her to have accidents though she is really smart and seems to understand. I just explain to her that the floor is not for peeing, but the potty is and she cries and says sorry mommy, which completely breaks my heart because I dont want negative emotions associated with using the bathroom. I guess my question is how do I deal with my husband on this issue since he thinks Im too easy going about it and where can I find info showing him why he shouldnt show her stress about it? Or am I completely wrong and being too gentle?

GD and potty training

At this age she may need some gentle reminders to use the potty. They sometimes get so involved in a toy that they forget to go. There are times that I need to say potty time to my 4 ds. Having more potty times may help with the accidents.

My dd is 3 and has been potty trained for about a month. I wouldn't threaten to put her back in diapers, but I did use them at night until dd stayed dry every night for 2 weeks. This was in no way a punishment and I explained to her that since she sleeps with us, we need to be sure she isn't having accidents. I told her that we don't want her to pee on Daddy by mistake.
She was fine with that explanation and has now been out of diapers for about a week at night and hasn't wet the bed yet. Night time control takes longer than daytime. I would remind her during the day to use the potty. I did this with all my dds until they were handling it on their own. I still do it before we get in the car. My 3 year old doesn't want me reminding her anymore and sometimes she'll say, "Stop asking me, Mommy." When she says that I stop asking.
