embarassed and frustrated about lack of tt
im so frustrated and embarrassed about my sons lack of toilet training. he is 3 in july (ie currently 2 ¾) and although he was weeing in the toilet (has never poo-ed in anything but pull ups or nappy) he has now stopped even doing that. he often tells me that he has done a wee, but now never asks to go and so I have to remind him and if I forget he’s just happy doing it in the pull ups. he seems scared of doing a poo in the toilet and never has, and when we try just having him in underpants he gets constipated so he doesn’t have to do a poo. I know I should just stop the pull ups altogether but its hard because I work 3 days a week and the people who care for him (my mother in law) don’t want to have to deal with accidents and would rather him be in pull ups, and plus he refuses to go on the toilet at her house because he just wants to play. he just wants to play at our house too but I will “make” him go to the toilet, whereas she cant seem to enforce that like I can. its just so embarrassing as everyone else in my playgroup has their child well and truly trained months ago, and he is lagging behind and I feel guilty that I am not biting the bullet and just doing it properly. if I was home full time I think I would just do it, but it’s hard. I guess I know what I have to do, im just feeling crap at the moment and whinging.
