DS is a stubborn little bugger and potty training is a nightmare. I decided to leave it until now as he was showing no signs even at 3 of being ready. A couple of months ago he suddenly started weeing on the potty with no encouragement from me when he was at home and nappyless. Stupidly I decided to leave him to it and left him in nappies but let him have nappy free time at home. After a few days he seemed to go off the idea anyway so I thought I will try again on the school hols. Now we are putting him in pants and he just wets/soils them and doesn't care. We have tried offering rewards of chocolate but he isn't interested. If I ask him to sit on the potty he shouts "No". If I try to put new pants on after he has wet himself he gets a bit stroppy. It seems to be a power struggle now and he is winning!
I would just leave it but he has a place at the nursery of the school he will be going to and his first day is in 5 weeks.
I keep putting him back in nappies after a few days of maybe one wee in the potty if we are lucky as when we have to go to friends houses etc I can't have him weeign on their sofas and carpets.
What do I do?
