Hi
I am at wits end over potty training my mindee who is 3 in the new year.
I have asked for advice on this before but I am at the point of using a pull-up for the sake of my home and sanity.
I am told by Dad that he perfectly fine at home, however, Mum tells me he has accidents (they live in the same house!). He has been 'potty training' since last January and still hasn't completely got the hang of it, although I think he is confused and there is a new baby on the way now too.
The parents say he wears pants at home, the mindee says he wears a nappy, I see him tumble tots with his mum in a nappy, at the nursery party yesterday he was with mum in pants and he wet himself.
They have asked that he wears pants at mine, previously I suggested a pull up until he would tell me he wanted the toilet for 'health and safety' and for my sofa, they didn't want this.
I have told M&D that I happy to follow their lead but we all need to be consist, I feel I am keeping my side and they are being lazy.
The accidents are a couple of times a day, not once in a while, I suggest he tries for a wee, he doesn't want to or dribbles a bit and then a little while later he gushes on the carpet.
I feel for him as it is confusing, but also its my home he weeing over.
I am seriously considering just using a pull up though its not right but I feel his parents have no respect for me or my home, he leaves at the end of Feb.
Where do I go now?
