You are bringing this thread to this board??? This is gonna get hilarious soon!
Boy or girl? Your first? We’re on the tail end of potty training my son which started at about the same age (he’ll be four in Oct.). My daughter was much easier. Are you trying a ‘method’ (three day, etc.)? Some swear by the three day no underwear method but that didn’t work for us. We had success by prompting every hour or so and then gradually increasing the time between going. Definitely a marathon and not a race. Of course you have to resist the urge to punch friends who say “oh my son has been trained since he was two - just decided he didn’t want to wear diapers anymore.” Good luck!
That only works for teenaged boys.Toss him a magazine and check in on him in a week or so...
Better yet..."hiring Rahne as OC was a great move." That woulda brought the house down!you’re right. I should have posted that COVID isn’t as bad as the flu, or #ALLlivesmatter. That would have been so much better.

Not sure what that is, but I just taught my boy to take a wiz outside. He thought it was fun and it got him used to knowing when to go... ha. My wife didn’t think it was as funny as I did.first. Son. We’re doing the Brandi Brucke “3 day method”. We’ll see how it goes. Thanks man!

Same thing happened with my daughter, but she only pooped twice.Not a potty training story but when my daughter was newborn, we gave her her first bath in one of those plastic tubs for newborns. As soon as we put her in the water, she pooped. We took her out, cleaned the tub, put her back in the water, pooped again. This continued for about 8 times. My wife and I were laughing at how ridiculous it was. I swear there was a violation of the conservation of matter going on, there is no way such a small thing can have that much poop in it.

Only bad thing about them going outside is when they do it at other places beside home.
Your 2.5 year old should be able to teach both of you pretty quickly. You'll both figure it out and get the hang of it soon.
Good luck.
valid point. Which begs the question at what age can you stop playing the “whelp.... it’s just a kid being a kid”
Get a gum ball machine, fill it with gum balls and show them how a penny can get a gum ball. Give them a penny or two for a few days. Later, change the rule that they can have a penny when they use the potty. It works like a charm.Wife and I are starting potty training with our 2.5 year old today
Not a bad idea. My wife likes to chew gum too. Maybe I can use some variation of this.Get a gum ball machine, fill it with gum balls and show them how a penny can get a gum ball.

...our best story occurred at a Sears store about 50 years ago ...
... we were shopping with our 3 kids - ages 4, 6 and 8 - in the plumbing department ... my wife and I were trying to decide on a tub and shower or just a shower only for our guest room bathroom when our 8 year old tugged at my arm and said, “Look at what Joey’s (4 yr old) doin’ over there”...
... he was taking a crap in a display toilet at the end of the aisle!!!...
You guys are killing me with this thread. Never had kids. Tears ate rolling down my cheeks from the laughter.
