Getting ready for the literal and figurative shit storm that is potty training. I would love to hear some experiences-
What method did you use? Was it from a book or a parenting blog? How long did it take? What would you do differently? What did you do right?
I plan to record evidence of our triumph so I can show her when she get sassy and says I don’t do anything for her. Welp kid, you’d literally be an animal defecating on the floor! Let’s watch exhibit A, shall we?
(I’m not really recording my child, I feel like I have to say this for the former FBI agents who recently have so much time on their hands. I was being entirely facetious…which sounds like feces)
Yeah, that was a bit difficult with junior - but in another way. At the age of 5 he used the toilet but for reasons (nostalgia perhaps) he refused to flush. We were greeted daily with unflushed turds.
So I upgraded his pocketmoney to 70 Cents and presented him this web-app I wrote on our family tablet:
“See, you now will get 70 Cents at the end of the week”
His face was filled with glory.
“Now you didn’t flush today, see what happens.” I said while pressing the coin and turning it to a turd and reducing his amount to 60 Cents.
By the end of the week I never had to show him this app ever again. Call me cruel.
