H & Hunter are playing golf. I got out my gumpaste to make Lego men for Hunter's cake, and it is totally dried out I was at Michael's last night, and now I have to go back. Grrr. I guess it's time to get myself (and Amelia) dressed, and run out to Michael's.
I probably wouldn't be potty training if it didn't cost over $200 extra per month to send her to her new preschool not trained. She starts in August but I figure this might take awhile.
We're going to be late bloomers when it comes to PTing. My kid shows no interest in using the potty. In fact, she yells at us when we use the toilet.
False. I do not believe most kids are potty trained at 2. A lot of kids are 'kind of' trained for a long time. Like, this wasn't even a thing when Jarek was little. Before 4 has been my goal. People give you shit because I think V looks old for her age, I get it too because C looks 4, not 2. I really think it's really pointless until they can take their own pants off. Obviously some kids train early and do well, but I don't think it's the majority AND some moms are full of shit and will say their kid is PTed when they piss their pants all day.

I'm going to have to start PT soon because I just signed Fi up for preschool that requires them to be PT. I agree with @meatywienert that a lot of kids that are supposedly PT early are just pissing their pants instead of their diaper. Or maybe that's what I choose to believe. Having a potty trained kid sounds miserable. Diapers for lyfe!

Glitter Tits N won't be trained for a long time either. I put her on here and there for comfort, but I am not even going to make a full attempt until I know she's ready.

Thanks, Meaty. I really didn't care about it but then it started bothering me after that stupid lady in the public restroom judged me. I really don't want to deal with pee and poop outside of a diaper.
Glitter Tits I'm sorry some asshole judged you. I honestly think it doesn't matter when you potty train, I just need to do it so that I can save some major change.

Glitter Tits Hunter was 2 years 8 months, and we had really great success with him. I'd like to think Amelia will be there in June, but as of now she screams and throws a fit if I try to put her on the toilet. Funny thing is, she loves peeing on the toilet before bath- for H.
I have been home in bed all day. I either have a really bad chest cold or the flu. Every time I get up I feel like I am going to faint. Meh.
Zack is a stubborn spirited kid and was not fully day trained until January. Which was 3y2m. We still have a pull up on him at night. EFF anyone who judges you for not having a 2.5 year old trained.

<--- not fully trained until after 3. When your kid is ready, your kid is ready. A handful of girls from my BMB are PTing already. Eff that noise. I like having two in diapers. Life is so much easier.

I agree. Cash needs 4 diaper changes max a day. A thousand times on the potty sounds terrible. Two in diapers and twpoin cribs is my style. No need for me to rush, they will be there soon enough and there is no parenting award for earliest to do that shit. My sanity is my reward for waiting.

Thanks, ladies. PTing sounds like the least fun thing ever. It's just difficult not to second guess myself after I've been judged. I was feeling like she was saying I was lazy. But who am I kidding, I am kind of lazy.

I'm a huge proponent of lazy parenting. Who has the time to deal with extra toddler needs on top of their already ridiculous demands?

NOT ME!! All. Day. Long. there is something that she needs. Like right when I sit down there is an emergency for a fruit leather, or the other bear or the cup that she needs that's right by her head, or she suddenly decides she needs to change the shirt that she's wearing...toddlers.
