won't keep his nappy on, won't tt, at the end of my rope

[littlelara]

Hi all, DS is nearly 2, has wee'd and poo'd in the potty maybe a couple of times (which is fine, I wasn't expecting him to start yet).
Just lately though he keeps taking his nappy off (ok, kids like to be nudie, I get that) but not going to the potty. So then he wees on the floor even if he's right near the potty and even though he knows what to do.
Today he took his nappy off so I sat him on the potty for about 5 mins. Nothing happened, so when he got off I didn't pursue it.
Within minutes he'd done a big wee all over my (washed yesterday) kitchen floor. For the first time ever I got really angry at him which I know is wrong and not helpful, but it was the 3rd time today, not including him taking his pooey nappy off in his cot when he woke from his nap this morning and getting poo everywhere.
I just don't know what to do or how to handle this. I can't make him go to the toilet, but unless he has an easysuit on I can't keep the nappy on either.
Please help, I'm losing my mind

I would suggest putting his napppies on backwards o putting masking tape around the top.. and then maybe a pai of jocks over the top of that,,

if that fails.. make him (nicely of course) sit on the potty/toilet every 15 minutes..

we used to tape jacks nappy on we had some fantastic tape from hardware store no getting that nappy off in a hurry

LMAO at the tape. i would never have thought of that myself.

Have you tried asking him if he needs to go to the potty every 5 mins or so. I know its PITA but he can't think and reason yet, so you have to keep reminding him. Have you tried pull ups? Make sitting on the potty fun. Put it in front of the tv, play games, sit there and talk to him whilst he's on it.

I too hate it when they wee and poo and everywhere, but you have to keep reminding him

xxoo

I was in your boat not too long ago. I decided if DD wasn't going to wear a nappy then she had to TT. It took me a full week on full on TT but we got there. Maybe he is telling you he is ready to TT but needs to be guided. Otherwise I'd be following a few suggestions from on here like putting the nappy on backwards/sticky tape. Good luck

Hi guys
Thanks for your comments. I've tried the backwards nappy, he just pulls it off like undies then. May resort to the tape.
I'd be happy to tt with him, and I feel like he knows when he needs to go, he just can't make it happen while he's sitting on the potty. So he gets up, is more relaxed, and out it comes maybe? He also gets easily distracted by dd (who tt'd herself so I haven't really had to do it before) so it's really hard to get him to sit if he doesn't want to.
I don't know, will keep reading.

At the start to get DD to sit and stay on the potty we had a special book to read. I also did up a reward chart. She got a sticker whenever she did something. I even used the stickers to get her to sit on the potty. Then when she got a few stickers she got a chocolate. I then increase stickers to chocolate ratio. It's amazing what she'll do for a sticker!!

DD1 took hers off whilst in bed a few times so i started to use knitted shorts over every nappy (used cloth) as it has a drawstring waist that i did up in a double knot, so maybe look for some pants/shorts that you can do that, not sure if they are avaialbe though

What about putting a onesie on him. with the snaps in the crotch and then a pair of pants or leggings over the the top.
