Potty training frustration
Waited too long to potty train my almost 4 year old boy. Working on my 2 year old girl now, and she seems to be picking it up with ME.
However, when my husband is with her, she seems to be more anxious about it. My son refuses to go to the toilet with dad and there’s power struggles daily. I AM TIRED OF SAVING MY HUSBAND AND BEING THE DEFAULT PARENT! He can be so lazy with managing his own self doubt and anxieties that he doesn’t know how to deal with our toddlers tantrums.
Idk what I assumed…I assumed that my son was going to pick up training quickly. I assumed that my husband would take the lead on training his son since they have the same anatomy. Moral of the story…don’t freaking assume.

I put cheerios in the toilet for my son to aim at lol and got him his favorite character underwear I said don't pee on Sonic!!! He said I wont!!! Lol
I’m potty training my 2 year old girl and she’s doing great with me! My ex has told me he’s too lazy to take her upstairs to go, because the couple times he’s tried she just sits there and giggles. So idk if it’s a thing, but my daughter won’t go with her dad either (not that he’s trying very hard)
@Leslie it does make me feel better. Thank you 🙏🏼

Idk if this will make you feel better but both of my older kids did not show any interest in the potty until late 3 years old and weren't fully trained until 5. I've heard and experienced that boys take longer. Even when I worked in the DOE we had some kids that just needed more time getting the hang of it. My 5 year old only recently mastered being able to wipe alone. I know it's frustrating being the default parent. I've been there. It's exhausting.
