From the very beginning, I told my DH how I wanted to go about potty training. NO pressure, just offer the potty, and someday when she is ready she will go. We got comments from family members when DD turned 2, and we ignored them, more comments at 2.5 yrs and we ignored them (especially with the arrival of her baby brother we knew it wasn't the time). Then, just like I thought, she was 2 months shy of turning 3 yrs, she woke up in the morning and said she wanted to use the potty. For 2 weeks she was dry - even at night! No accidents! I was saying "See, I told you she would when she was ready!" to all who doubted! We went and bought panties and I was so proud of her, and me (for having the patience and doing it the way I felt was best for her).
Then after 2 weeks - she asked for her diapers again and won't go in the potty! Nothing happened - no big changes. Argh! I was/am so disappointed, and now find myself having no patience for changing her diapers. I find myself saying "high pressure" things to her despite my better judgement - they just come out. I've resorted to bribing her. I'm so disappointed in myself, but also don't understand why she absolutely refuses to go in the potty again.
Anyone else's DC do this too?
