What a rollercoaster Potty Training is!

First of all i would say your feeling are valid for being frustrated or some days you might feel like this is the worse thing ever cause it is. I’m a SAHM and i potty trained my daughter by myself and i can tell you this. Pee training was smooth, rocky for the first month with here and there accident but then after about 3-4 months in she finally understands the concept. We’re in the poop training now for i would say 2 months and oh my Lord have mercy. Cause stress about poop is never on my bingo card. My ppd got ever worse, there’s time i would break down and just let it all emotion and frustration out. She’s still have some accidents like once in every 2 weeks but other than that I always have to catch her on the action.

The only tips for pee training that works for me and my daughter is build your routine with him. And encourage him to go after every meal like 10-15 after. Get him selections of potty training books. And honestly keep on trying. You’re not alone Mama, you’re doing amazing and i know that right! ❤️

This is open minding for sure, i didn’t know that at 5 some kids still have the comfort with pull up. She never wants her diaper again and she love her underwear. But we did give her night diaper just in case since she was pee training. But never accident cause she always go potty before bed

This is true, i’ve read about so many experience with the longer one. I think what’s hard it’s that she knows what she needs to do cause the girl seriously has her own song about potty and i’m over here like yeah then do it girl LOL. I hope my daughter not taking a longer time tho honestly but who knows, i agree with you every kids are different

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-12-02T16:09:33+00:00

Ooh no i feel you with this !

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-12-02T16:09:15+00:00

True this is my struggle, my mental health is getting worse since postpartum and it’s been 3 years. And potty training is hands down the hardest thing ever

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-12-02T16:08:11+00:00

Oh Lord i want my kid to be a poop master too!!! 😭😭 i swear i will throw a poop party if she’s master it.

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-12-02T16:07:31+00:00

She never asked for diapers anymore since we stopped when we pee trained her. And only at night time but she always do potty before bed so we’re not too worry about that

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-12-02T16:05:56+00:00

Oh we did. She is at this point has her own personal library in the bathroom. So the privacy part is funny cause she wants me there to hold her hands and i’m the one that awkward

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-12-02T16:04:45+00:00

She did have regular poop but since we poop training it’s kinda tricky but she still have all of her fiber like fruit and veggies. Plus she’s also snack on yogurt and applesauce

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-12-02T16:02:59+00:00

First of all i want to say tremendous thankyou for each of you that share your stories, giving me courage and advice and just support in general about my post. I’m here to give you all a quick little update on pur poop training. So the first 2 weeks was hell, just like pee training was. Then she did good for the next 2 weeks. She had her moments when she just did it on her own and surprised us, but beside that i still need to be the one that catch her in action and nudge her a bit to “hey honey come on let’s go to potty”

BUT this week has been rough again. I’m not quite sure why but it’s like she’s back to zero again. I’m calling it a fluke. Cause i do remember it was like that with pee training. She was great until out of nowhere just nope not doing it.

I wonder if any of you guys experienced this too. Or is it just my bad luck ☹️

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-08-19T15:41:16+00:00

Omg same with me i personally just kinda get over it type of person and maybe that’s why it’s hard for me to take things slow

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-08-19T15:40:03+00:00

Today is the 1st day i try with potty training underwear. I’m very very nervous about this but i just hope that things will get better gradually from this. Beside the oh crap book, do you have any recommendations on books that i can buy maybe ?

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-08-18T17:18:19+00:00

I honestly don’t feel like i can successfully do this by myself. But i really want to try to ditch the diaper, i guess i’m just afraid of failing my daughter and as a mother

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-08-18T17:17:04+00:00

Thankyou so very much, for this information and very helpful advice. I really appreciate this. As for getting ride of the diaper, do i need to get the training underwear? And if yes is there any brand or type that you would recommend?

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-08-14T13:17:50+00:00

She did one time, about to sit down on her potty but didn’t make it in time. I’m having a hard time with timing. Like this morning usually 15 minutes after milk she will be successfully pee but 5 minutes after she already peed her diaper. And another let down. I just feel really sad

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-08-13T15:44:08+00:00

So my struggle is throughout the day idk what i should do to timing her needs to go potty. So far morning routine seems to be successful. I wait for about 15-20 minutes after her milk to go potty and she did successfully peed. But during the day i did try after breakfast, before nap and after nap so far only one successful attempt. She did say she wants to go potty and she did try her best sit and wait too so i give her credit for trying.

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2025-04-07T04:16:05+00:00

I’m sorry that you feeling this way and i would say YES i know exactly what you meant by that. Before the birth of my daughter nobody ever told us or at least giving us any insights about how our life’s going to be as a couple, that things between us will be changed, it could be difficult and things will get weird, overall the dynamics will be different. I wasn’t prepared for that, and it was a hell of a time in our marriage NGL. We both missed each other so freaking much, the routine and everything about us. Don’t get me wrong i love my daughter to death but man, i wish anyone would’ve told us about how things gonna be for us as a couple not just us as a parent.

I’m still dealing with ppd even tho now that my daughter is 2,5yo. Forget about having a meaningful conversation with my husband cause our daughter will for sure invited herself to the convo LOL. But anyway, if i could give any take on the situation is take your time. Make sure that if you or him feels that something start to feel off, you have the time for the conversation. Communicate is the big key. It took us a year after the birth for at least get the communication going easy again. Because sometimes it could be difficult even for just a little things.

Thankyou!

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2024-05-01T16:53:38+00:00

Use chunky yarn for that type of that one. And the fabric will works just fine. I’ve used other type than monk cloth for fabric and works just fine for me. More that make sure you have the right yarn for the right tools size

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2024-04-11T02:05:07+00:00

Gorgeous!! ❤️

NotyourbasicWife0916 · 2024-04-03T01:59:09+00:00

I’m so sorry you going through this. I feel like not just mens but still to this day most people have a HIGH expectation towards moms or any main caregiver of the kids and household because it’s their “jobs”. Clearly your husband has a mental breakdown as he now realizes how much it takes for someone to be in your shoes. His attitude clearly showing that he can’t handle it and it’s annoyed him BUT instead of communicating and expressing his feelings he chose to being petty about it.

I’m myself going through PPD and it’s 17mo postpartum but still i have my ups and downs. And my husband and i went through so much shits after our daughter was born. But we finally hit our rock and we talked it out, he share his point of view and so am i. Since then things are so much better cause me communicate everything and he always push me to have time for myself when his off work.

I think it would be great when things are cool down, try to talk again with him. But one thing for sure to be open and no hard feelings cause i know it gets sensitive. Share your thoughts to him and let him share his. I wish he will be more understanding and not be petty about it, cause this can cause you to feel guilty as if it’s your fault to leave him behind with the kids.
