Potty trained.. someday
I was talking to a buddy of mine about potty training, and he mentioned that there is some problems with boys and the potty. My boy has no problems with the potty. He just sees this as a useless device as he has a DIAPER.
After raising his older brother and sister and getting them squared away potty-wise.. I am exhausted. I know the solution would be to go to a cloth diaper and have him just really mess up an outfit or so.. and discover just how gross it is. The problem: I don’t want to clean all that up! My wife has a new puppy so no luck shoving that onto her plate. Really he is so cute I have serious misgivings about punishing him at all. So this kind of thing runs me the wrong direction from happy.
Nothing really seems to hold sway on him to get him to do this on the pot. Now not saying he won’t go pee in the potty.. He does that, most of the time. Its the deuce..
He’s not droppin any kids off at the pool.. Which is where our problems are starting. I think he doesn’t want to. That he sees time on the pot as “wasted” time he could be playing. I guess the other idea is to sit him on the pot every 30 minutes till he does it. I can’t remember to take pills that will make my quality of life “better” once a day, but suddenly I have to remember to every 30 minutes go put this kid on the toilet so he can drop a deuce?.. I don’t see that happening either.
The other choice? diapers till he’s 20. Such is life.. full of *&^%
