Mindee is 21 months and this is her 2nd week with me.
Mum has been trying to potty train for about 2 months and says she is done at home but she wears training pants to come here.
When I spoke to mum today she started saying about how we dont want her in the pull ups here and giving me tips about potty training, it was very strong hints that she wants to stop the pull ups but she hasnt come out and said she wont send them anymore - yet.
Thing is if mum hadnt said she was trained I would have no clue that she was at all. I have tried sitting her on the potty and she just looks at me, she occasionally says boo when she has done a poo but its always after and today she didnt even notice. I have seen her wee on the floor when mum tried to get her on the potty and mum was very pleased cos she said she knows what to do and she did it because she has seen the potty, just that mum wasnt quick enough. One of the things she said today was that sometimes its just a case of sitting her on it every hour.
To me this isnt a child who is potty trained, I dont want her out of pants and if mum brings it up I am thinking of saying for her to try over half term without pull ups at all and if she manages the week without accidents and getting herself to the potty, not mum sitting her on it, then I will take her without pants. I think mum will think I am being unsupportive but I also dont want to have to be putting her on the potty every hour.
What do you do if parent insists child is done but they are having lots of accidents?
