Potty training???

So my boyfriends other BM doesn't want us buying pull ups for his daughter bcuz she isnt in them yet.She is coming to spend spring break with us. She is 2 years old. I think it's time to potty train. My oldest was potty trained before 2. But the other reason is we buy bundles and the person I get my newborn diapers from doesn't have his daughter size in diapers but she has pull ups. But also I think it's time to potty train to get her out of diapers. Because diapers are goin up But am I wrong to potty train there daughter while shes at my house?... Let me add my boyfriend wants her to be potty trained.... And on top of that... There just diapers.

I know it’s hard but don’t overstep, if your boyfriend and his ex don’t think she’s ready then that’s for them to decide, all children are different, it might be your house but imagine someone doing that to your child without your permission

Is there a reason she doesn’t want the pull ups? Besides her not currently Wearing them

@Leeza he wants to buy them. And he doesn't mind I potty train her... It's just the BM

@🌻Dej🌻 no that's the only reason

@Yuri if it’s his choice then he has the right to try but you probably won’t get far if his BM isn’t on board as she’ll undo all the work you do when she has her back It’s such a battle you win some you lose some, hope it all works out!

Have he talk to her about taking the next step with pottying? Is it that she possibly wants to initiate it?

@Leeza right she kind hard to work with. I talked her to letting him get her. We live in GA and she live on the other side of SC

Yes that's overstepping It's up to her parents and if mum has said not yet then listen to her She's only 2 as well

@Peer95 I'm saying one parents is fine with it. Which is my bf... She wants him to get a certain kiddy toilet before she do. I'm sorry I'm not that type to want to have fancy things in order to do certain things for my child. I mean her oldest (11) and has trouble going to the bathroom. (No mental issues )Idk if it cause she uncomfortable but I want her to be comfortable From experience I wouldn't want someone changing my child's diaper I rather my child to learn to go to the bathroom also.

@Yuri it has to be a joint decision with your bf and his ex partner or this won't work at all They need consistency with this for at least the first week if they are ready and you won't be able to give that if only one parent is on board She'll just undo the work you put in and totally confuse the child

@Peer95 understood I won't potty train her. It's just the buying pull ups part. Due to what we can afford with a newborn that we have full time.... She doesnt want to potty train til he buy some 100$ kiddy toilet that sings n flash sound that she end up losing it

@Yuri I feel like you should use diapers/ pull ups/ whatever you think as long as they're suitable for her and if her mum isn't happy with them then she can supply them?!

If dad is on board and you have LO for a week, fully potty train her during the week and completely ditch the diapers. Then when LO goes back to BM, just tell her how much success she had with potty training and that she's in pull ups for bedtime, but undies when awake

I would do it IF I am buying the pull-ups 🤷🏾‍♀️. Of she want to send diapers, but all means, send them, but when she over here, she would be in training undies! That way y’all can keep them at y’all house and every time she comes over, just potty train her 🤷🏾‍♀️
