Potty training + in laws

Well your husband is clearly living in the 19th century ? Does he not take an active role in your child’s life ? My husband was totally hands on - we were lucky started in April as we meant to go on , pants , trousers , carry potty , toilet seat and he only ever had 3 accidents (in the first two days) was dry at night by day 4. Just do what you think is best but your husband should be totally behind you !

Working mum here too with in-laws that bang on about their potty training experience and other parenting skills. We did it in 1-2 days but our child was ready. We tried several times before that but it was too stressful. Personally, I would advise to do it on your child’s timeline, pushing it may yield some results but it’s more difficult on both sides. At the end of the day you can’t force the child to be ready. I also think you shouldn’t do it when you have guests especially critical in-laws. As for the unsupportive husband, remind him that if he doesn’t want to do it then his only job is to support you. As for the in-laws, my coping mechanism is a reminder that I’m married to the product of their so called perfect parenting. So I know that they are full of shit.
