Pottytraining...(insert long sigh here)...I'm convinced that word alone can give hundreds if not thousands of parents cold-sweat nightmares, me included. There are times where I think I'd rather give birth. Of course that's just creating more of the problem now, isn't it! It seems like we've been at this for a year. It's not that he can't do it, it's that he doesn't care. He WILL go in the potty if you put him on it every 10 minutes, but not once, not ONE SINGLE TIME has he actually told US he needed to go. I keep thinking maybe he's not ready, but then I wonder if it's really HIM or ME? Oh don't get me wrong, I'm ready to stop buying diapers and wipes by the cart-full once a week. I'm ready to stop doing diaper duty. But I'm really getting tired of hauling around the "little green machine" to clean up the puddles. My only comfort is that every parent goes through this. Most kids make it through alive. And on the other side, there's the oasis of happiness and harmony, right? (OK, so I've already done this potty-training thing once and I know that's not true.) I guess we have time--he's only 2. I'll just keep buying diapers. After all, my sanity is worth something, right?

Yes, it is amazing how we do finally get them potty trained. My kids pediatrician always said that they will not go to college in diapers. Yeah, but all I could think was, I just don't want them to go to kindergarten in diapers. But after many puddles they all got the hang of it. I did find that my kids did not like to stay wet in cloth diapers so that is probably why it got easier with the next couple of kids. I have 6 children and the youngest is in the 6th grade now. So I am a potty training survivor.
Hang in there Jenny; it will happen. Boys are generally a little slower on this. Both of mine were around 3 when then figured it out and I was actually glad. They only had one bedwetting incident each and that made the longer time in diapers well worth it to me. Mine are now 33 and 30 but I still remember those young years as you describe--wonderful and nightmarish. It'll be over all too soon.
does he like analsex mum? He will after i am done with him i had 3 my ex babysat that didn't like it the first couple of times then wanted it 2 of them were little girls
