Tired of hearing ‘you need to potty train’

Just a rant but I don’t understand why anyone thinks it’s acceptable to tell me to potty train my child. Like she turned 2 a couple days ago and all I’m hearing is ‘she needs to be potty trained’ or ‘isn’t she too old for nappies’. SHE JUST TURNED TWO FFS. Please leave me alone. She’s got time I do plan to potty train her at some point but she’s not showing signs she’s ready so what do you expect me to do? Throw her on the potty and force her to use it? I’m not asking you to change her nappies for me so why the hell do you think you have a say in when she’s potty trained. Honestly I’m just tired. I’ve heard it from both my family and in laws so many times it’s ridiculous. And now I have another baby on the way it’s worse LEAVE US ALONE

You need to do it when you are ready probably more so than the toddler tbh! It takes over and needs your full attention! We potty trained from 2nd birthday, I’m about to have another baby and tbh I’m glad we did it when we did, so that is worth considering 👍🏻

Literally no one has told me to potty train 😭 if they did I'd tell them to fuck all the way off! Sorry your family is being so rubbish about this, it's not like you've got a 7 year old running about in nappies, 2 is still very young! A friend of mine with one a few months older tried around 20m because there was another baby on the way and she didn't take to it at all and was very upset so they didn't force the matter. Just because you're having another doesn't change whether yours is ready or not and you know whether she's ready better than anyone! I would literally tell people "I've heard your opinions and don't need to hear them again" if they're forcing the issue.

She’s still really young! Also don’t worry about having another baby on the way, my way of thinking when I was pregnant with my second child was to try get my eldest potty trained before his brother arrived. I didn’t and instead started when his brother was just a few months old, and had him completely trained within a few weeks whilst looking after a baby. So don’t stress about that x

My boy is 2.5yrs old and is only just starting to be potty trained because his communication wasn’t clear

I haven’t potty trained my first and I have a second son now! They’re 19 months apart and I didn’t feel the need to stress by pushing him to start when he wasn’t ready. Just try when your LO has an interest, screw what anyone else thinks x

Dont listen to them. She will do it when she is ready. Most children don’t start until they’re more 2 and half.. lots of people dont realise that if you try to train before they are ready it can actually cause them trauma and problems with using the toilet/potty when they are older.

I'm not potty training until the summer. Tbf no one has said anything about potty training, I'd tell them where to go if they did! It's not like you're sending them to school in a nappy! Do it when it feels right for you and little one!
