Does anyone else feel like such a failure? I’m following advice from books, shes showing signs of readiness but nothing is working. We have tried again for the 2nd time this weekend after having tried and stopped at Christmas because she was getting scared. She asks me to change her nappy everytime she goes for a poo, she also tells me when she’s doing a poo. When I try to take her on the potty or toilet she just says no! She has sat on it a few times but hasn’t done anything on it. She finally went for a wee on the floor after about 5 hours of doing nothing and cried saying nappy on , nappy on until I gave in and put her nappy back on her.
Do we just wait a few more months now?
It’s just frustrating as most toddlers in her nursury class are now toilet trained and I don’t want us falling behind or it portraying us in a bad light. Perhaps I’m just over thinking too much 😭
