Remember how I was working on putting together a manual to share with you my tricks for the 270-potty training method? Well, apparently long-term potty training is the new black because millions of you emailed me and asked "What's your secret to the long-term potty training of your strong-willed child?" Well friends, I am happy to report that I have a new and improved method coming your way. Lydia is brining potty back. In her pants. However I am struggling with what to title my new method.
Please help me out and vote for your favorite title for my future best-selling . . . pamphlet:
1. "The No End in Sight Potty-Training Method"
2. "Potty Training Your Strong-Willed Child. Why Bother?"
3. "The One-Year Plus Potty-Training Method: Guaranteed to Have no Guarantees"
4. "Potty Training Your Strong-Willed Daughter: Take Away her Lip Gloss"
5. "Potty Training: When She Says She's 'ready' to Ditch the Pull-Ups . . . She's Just Joking"
6. "You Think You're Done Potty Training Just Because you had a Dry Spell for few Months? You've Never Been More Wrong."
7. "There's a Potty in my Pants All Year Round"

I vote for the second option. Love it!
My almost-three-year old son is also CRAZY strong-willed and showing no interest in potty training. My Chinese mother-in-law is appalled and mentions it every time she talks to my husband. And this weekend she kept saying to my son "shame shame, only babies wear diapers!". I keep telling her that she is more than welcome to try potty training him herself, but she's not going for it. :)
Title #2. From my safe perspective, Lydia is very entertaining. Her I'm-being-forced-to-use-the-toilet faces are worth the price of admission. From your I-gotta-deal-with-it perspective, #!@*# Hang in there.
oh no....can't believe this is still going on. Titles 2 & 3 are my favorite.
I can't pick a favorite because they're ALL hilarious!!
Oh, and sorry you're having such a "poopy" time of it.
Bad pun totally intended because I'm a dork.
Um, I did not need to hear this today. Ha! Caedmon will be 3 in August and has just now "gotten it" and is wearing undies all day for the first time today. I'm exhausted. I was really hoping this would be over in a few weeks - not months or years! :)
Title #2 is probably the most marketable, but my favorite is #7. :) Good luck!
Hahaha! Oh man, I feel your pain. My youngest 2 boys were just AWFUL to potty train! They were both 4!!! And we tried eeeeeeverything. But Glory be, Hallelujah, they use the potty now.
I love #7. It may not be classy, but if you're a mom who has lived it Potty Training Hell, you will totally understand it. And you need some laughs to relieve the stress from this time.
I vote for number 7. Fabulous. Rock it, girl!
Thanks for all your input.
It will really help me as I wrestle with what to call my pretend future pamphlet.
I am not sure about my son, but I do know he cannot stand soiled underpants. He is ready and willing to go.....on the carpet! So, I do empathize with you Wendy. I cannot seem to get him to go to the toilet either. Strong willed? I don't know, but he definitely does what he darn well pleases. I like Title number 2, since we can relate. :D
I'm so happy you're finally working on your pretend future pamphlet. I vote for # 6. It made me LOL.
I read and followed Pottytraining for Dummies & it worked! My son was potty trained completely in 2 weeks! Going by himself. He rarely has accidents. He was trained by 2. I introduced the potty at 1. Didnt pressure him. He chose when he was ready. On the other hand... my 7 y.o. is complete opposite. Still had accidents at 6!
