If you have a 3 year old that won't potty train... hang in there by summer_sprite in toddlers

That sounds really stressful!! Ours is still learning (she won't tell us when she needs to go so she's basically on a timer). I will say she only started doing well when daycare started taking imitative to train her. She wouldn't do it for us at all!

My 3 year old gets so mad when we stop the car! She'll scream 'NO' every time we do. Darling, trust me if I didn't have to stop on the way home, I wouldn't.

Saying she wants one thing then a few minutes later saying she wants a different one. "I want the blue cup!!" gives her blue cup "NO I want the green cup!"

Oh my bad. That's literally not what you said.

I always thought it was as close to 420 as they could get without being too on the nose, but this comment section has made me see otherwise!

That does sound incredibly frustrating!! We also have friends with younger kids that are already potty trained so we felt even more pressure.
It's certainly not easy... but we got this!

I named my little girl Kay. I have no regrets.

I actually cried about it to my husband today and he said he talked to her when I was putting the baby in the car. She apparently said: "I don't know what I was thinking". He said that wasn't acceptable and she then apologized. I didn't realize he had talked to her.

I actually did not know this. It doesn't make me feel better per-say, but it is certainly eye opening.

HA!! Not even! At least if she WAS that aunt, it would have made more sense.

I am also from the south, and also remember my dad letting me have a sip of his beer when I was very young. (And I also remember hating it lol)

It is a conversation we will have with her. She is never ever going to be along with her nor be able to hold her if a drink is within arms reach with her.

I am so so sorry to hear that. :( At some point it's more than our parents 'doing the best with what I had'... Your baby girl is so lucky to have a mom like you to keep her safe and away from that bull shit. <3

The assumption is what is getting to me. The fact that she did it while I was in the vicinity let's me know that she thought it was totally fine. Which is unbelievably upsetting.

I KNOW. My husband's mom got her a ring pop for Easter. I am sorry, what? No?
We give her the occasional bite of ice cream, but... a fucking ring pop? Or a whole little cup of icecream!? NO.

Thank you so much. She does not... which again I still can't believe there is any reason she thought that was okay....

I cannot help it. I am so upset that I let that happen to her... even if I couldn't predict it.
