My daughter will turn 4 in October. She is very bright and articulate. She has an active imagination and is almost always well behaved. But she will not potty train! Here are the pertinent details:
I just had a second child in June. Since we knew he was coming and knew to expect regression, I didn't push the training over the summer. Now it is time to go back to school and she shows less interest that ever.
She will go potty for my mother in law (which really just makes me dislike my MIL even more), but only because MIL makes her sit on the potty every two hours. If I try that at home she screams and cries.
Pretty panties are not an incentive bcause my mother has bought her those already and puts them on over diapers, so they are not working.
She does not seem to mind be wet or dirty. I tried for a week to use just underwear, but she peed all over the couch, the carpet and her bed. Thankfully the bm messes were contained, but I was the one who noticed them-they didn't bother her.
I would love to hear some ideas or reassurance. I know that she will not wear diapers to her senior prom, but I am starting to get a little embarrassed.
