Okay, so potty training is setting us back, again and again, and mum thinks it's the pull ups and I'm at the point where I agree with her

hot icky old standard plastic training pants over cloth or cheapo diapers=misery. Choice of pretty panties over those? Oh yeah.

Never believed in pull-ups, honestly; when I babysat as those who used them, were horrid to train.

They are expensive and shit, and I don't mind doing laundry, so I won't miss the pull ups.

Good advice down there and I swear, it is so true--I had one kid who was a breeze and the other who didn't give a damn. But he came around anyway.

Yeah, I second that, cheap crinkly plastic ones. Pull-Ups are evil and really only good for overnight.

we were doing so well with the pull ups. we had fully dry days. but now, we've regressed and I don't know what else to do.

She'll get there. It has to matter to her and no amount of it mattering to you will change that. I just need to keep reminding myself of all the things I learned back in potty training because damned if they aren't just as applicable to teenagers.

You'll probably be much smarter and wiser than me and will only need to learn this shit once.

Oh man, I doubt it. I am incredibly stupid in these things.

Sorry, can't help. My kids use the litter box, mostly.

[amand_r]

Some of mine do too. I have been spoiled by cats.

This is why I don't have dogs, man.

Honestly, the cheap plastic pants worked wonders for us when nothing else did. But good luck finding them. I spent a good month trying to track them down - amazon seems your best bet and price now, but sometimes you can luck out and find them at Kids R Us and stores like that.

[amand_r]

That's a good idea. I tried online and they were non-existent. gerber had things that are good for kids that are further along.

I'd recommend old plastic pants as well, if you can find them. Otherwise maybe something like these Imse Vinse training pants as she will still feel wet.

That might be too cute. I like them. I wish they made grown up pants--without the padding and the creepy diaper fetish vibes I have just given myself.
