I also second the potty training tips. DD2 runs around without a diaper and sits on her potty seat (for about 2 seconds) and then puts a diaper on herself when she has to go and then takes it off throws it away after she has gone EEK!
oh goodness this made me giggle.....it's like they know we want them to do it so they refuse to do it!!

I swear she either has really good days or really bad days, there is no in between. I'm guessing today is a bad day lol.

My DD is 2.5 and to potty train her, we put her in panties. Hid the diapers. After a couple of wet incidents - one in the vet's office, she never had another. This is the only one I have potty trained, so I don't know how to do it otherwise. Her brother, also 2,5 - is NOT interested in the potty at all, and he is still in diapers. Not sure what in the heck to do about him.

As for the fits - mine, too. They can be KILLER!!!!!

Good news, the stage of throwing huge fits doesn't last forever! DD is almost 13, and it's been awhile since we were in that stage! Smilie hug Smilie

On the issue of potty training, she might be ready, but not doing what you want on this is one way she can hold power over you. I would suggest dropping the issue for now. DD pulled these tricks on me, so I let it go. Bought her some of the 'potty' books - I highly recommend 'Everyone Poops'. That really helped.

But what helped most was when we were coming up on her 'moving' to a new classroom where her friends were moving, and she wasn't going to be eligible until she was fully potty trained. All of a sudden, she could do it, no problem, few accidents. DD was close to 3 before she was 'fully' potty trained.

So maybe you could find 'something' that you can think of DD would like to have/be able to do that you could add a 'must be potty trained' to before she is allowed to do it. This would probably help especially if this is DD2, who wants to be like DD1.

Good luck! hug

I did the same thing. We put her in undies around 2- 2 1/2 and now, bingo! I mean, at first they will obviously think they still have a diaper on...but they catch on. She just turned 3 however, she KNOWS when she has to #2, she will tell us she wants a pullup on! EEK! Sure enough. She refuses to poo on the potty! However, if she wears pullups at nap time or bed time, she will pee in them, it's the art of being lazy. Kids are smart. They know what they are doing. nod

ugh. I'm dreading PT. my kid loves banging toys on the toilet but he's the type that likes to be fed still, likes to be taken care of. I can't imagine him actually taking time away from playing to sit on potty. Lucky I've been stocking up on easy ups and feel n learns

Does it make anyone else Crazy when their DH calls and says he is at the store and is picking stuff up tonight for dinner??? Like I had runs planned and stuff and he is just trying to help but I HAVE COUPONS and was going to buy stuff with overage, etc.....just venting....

The poor guy is trying to help but he is making me NUTS!!! I do think he is learning though...He did come home early to get Lowe's coupons for $10/$50 and used 3 of them in one order....I guess he's learning???
oh god, you don't even understand!!!!
on friday MY dh bought a $30 electric razor at Target. paid cash, didn't use coupons, giftcard or anything. Shocking
he came home with it, and i asked him wth? we only have like 30 men's razors around here for you to choose from! he goes.. "i've never used that kind before.." and then of course $10 and $20 norelco coupons came out on sunday. grrrrr.. and he doesn't have the package or receipt for the one he bought. so no return and rebuy. Chairbash

i can't even get over how angry i am at him for that one. Ranting
Quote from teri037 :
I read about this deal somewhere, I just can't remember where, could have been here so sorry if ya'll have heard it already. I went to KM yesterday with 15 coupons for Pedigree Jumbone dog snacks $1.50 of ANY. They have a display of samples up for 20 cents each! made for 1.30 overage on each one. Bought some pepsi cubes to absorb the overage. The cashier was great, kept commenting on what a good deal I got using those q's. They had alot of samples so I gotta find more q's! Plus, there are three little 'bones' in each bag. I'm going to mark them .25 cents at my yard sale
do coupons beep at kmart for overage?

Quote from sbhiggins :
You are right-- that's way uncool.

OTOH, I always wonder why managers in these situations don't exercise a little discretion.

You hear these stories where after someone does something like this, the manager start "laying down the law"-- like limiting everyone to only one deal per person or something.

Why the heck don't they just tell the person who is being completely unreasonable-- no, you can't buy every single razor we have in the store?? That's what I want to know.

(Probably b/c they are afraid the person will pitch a fit, or, worse, sue them.)
exactly. someone buying $500 of razors. that's like.. 50. why for the love of god would they even let that go through in the same transaction? that's obviously clearing the shelf so no other customers can get in on the deal. and i also don't get why any other customer who comes through, catches the hell for it. HELLO, just reject the person who's being the hog. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

potty training is taking FOREVER for my son. we started when he was 2 1/2, he's now 5 and we're finally just getting to the tail end of it. he does have a comprehensive learning disability, and i'm sure that's part of the reason why the process has taken as long as it is.
if we put him in underwear, he will go to the bathroom by himself. but if he's in training pants, he'll go in those and not use the bathroom. shake head
right now he has a choice on which he wants to wear every day. he has been choosing the underwear more and more often though and it's my hopes that we can have him completely potty trained by the end of the summer.

it's just been a really slow process. it took about the first full year off and on just to get him to sit on the potty without screaming bloody murder. and then another year of.. okay.. he sits there but never does anything. (of course going in the training pants the second we took him off. Mad)
then for a while, we'd get a 'hit' every so often and he'd pee in the potty. then he gradually pee'd in there more and more often. and just in the last couple weeks he's finally going poo in the potty on a regular basis, too. thank god for kandoo and cleanteam wipes, because it sure does make it easier for him to practice wiping himself. nod

we're slowly cutting back on how often he's allowed to choose the training pants. most days he's in undewear all day. i guess maybe on the days he chooses trainers he's not feeling as confident. i dunno. but i am so glad that we have finally made as much progress as we have (most has been within the last 4 months). half the time we ask him if he needs to go, the other half he goes in by himself without prompts. i can even go shopping when he's in underwear, something i was never able to do before! i thought my son was NEVER going to potty train. but now i definitely see it as a reachable goal that by the end of the summer, there will be no training pants in our house except while he's sleeping.

so i guess what i'm going to say is - i know it feels like for every step forward you're taking 10 steps back. but having been there myself, i can say your daughter will potty train. if not now, eventually she will. and don't be ashamed just because someone else's child trained at 2 years, while yours may not until she's older. (believe me, i still get it from people because my son is 5!) every child is different and has their own needs. but they all will potty train, and it is best to do it on their terms. even if your daughter isn't actually doing anything when you sit her down, the fact she does sit without throwing a fit is a good step in the right direction. hug

DS did that too! He would pee in the potty, but when it came time to poo....he would go get a diaper to be put on. Then, he would go hide in the corner...do his business...and come back to me with the wipes and asked to be changed.

One day HE decided he was ready, and that was the end of diapers for him.

DD on the other hand was a pita to potty train. She was 3 1/2 before she was fully potty trained. She had worn diapers just at night for about a yr, from 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 and she still has more than her fair share of "accidents".

OK peeps, here's a BRU/TRU ? for you. I received a mailer for $10 off $50. There is a hotdeal post for 5/25. I also received a BRU mailer for 15% off any baby item.

Any experience with stacking? I'm sure I can do the 15% with either of the xx/xx but not sure of the xx/xx in same transaction. Thinking of getting the laugh n learn kitchen. Been dying for it for a while since I saw it at a target on my way to PA but my targets here just don't have it.
