Guest guest Posted July 13, 2000 Report Share Posted July 13, 2000 HELP!! DS (2yr 9mth)decided 2 weeks ago that he wanted to wear pants. So far, only occasional success in the potty (when he happens to be on it at the time!). He only seems to tell me when he has already either started or even finished his wee/poo. Sometimes he's saying he wants to go back into nappies. Have tried asking him v. regularly but I can ask him, get a " no " and then 30 seconds later wet trousers again. Is it worth perservering or is he really not ready yet and it'd be better to start all over again at a later date?? Sue B. (totally stressed out of East Cheshire!)

DS (2yr 9mth)decided 2 weeks ago that he wanted to wear pants. ....Is it worth perservering or is he really not ready yet and it'd be better to start all over again at a later date?? I got stressed out too, only 2 months ago, and my advice would be that it is not worth it. DS1 was doing exactly as you describe. I finally lost it completely with him (which may be where you are heading?!) and after I'd dragged him to the toilet by his arm and left him sitting there in shock whilst I went to try and calm down, I realised I had to give it up for a while. We tried again a few weeks later and he cottoned on almost immediately! So all those wet trousers won't be for nothing...something will have sunk in....but for your sanity, I'd wait a few days/weeks until you feel calmer! phine (Mum to nearly 3, and Ben nearly 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes he's >saying he wants to go back into nappies. My DS was like this. Started to manage the wees after a while, but the poos were always in his pants. We both got too stressed and he went back full time into nappies. Then 10 days later he begged for his pants back and we hardly had another accident. The whole process (including the 10 days in nappies) was about 6 weeks and he was done just in time for 3rd birthday.
