SAHMs -- how involved is your DH in potty training?

My DH is on my last nerve with this. He wants to micromanage everything lately even though he's rarely here. So now it's potty training. You might have read my previous post that we've had some successes but they just plain AREN'T READY for serious training. And who can blame them, they're not even 2 yet!

SO, DH insists that I change the morning routine so that rather than the relaxing ease into the morning, the first thing I do when they wake is rush them to the toilet. He says this will train them to hold it until morning because they'll know that they're going to the potty as soon as they wake :huh: Fast forward a half hour and he's "watching them" while I fix breakfast. I scrambled a couple of eggs -- it took about 5 minutes. I hear one of them saying, "Poopy, poopy..." so I ask if someone needs his pants changed. No answer. I ask again, louder. From upstairs he calls down that he doesn't know. <_< He did come downstairs and proceeds to play with them still not checking or taking them to the bathroom. I told him that it makes no sense to insist they use the toilet when they haven't asked and then ignore it when they do ask! He countered with not knowing who had asked so he didn't know who to take. SO TAKE THEM BOTH! For crying out loud, does he think one of them disappears everytime the other needs something during the day?

He isn't. At all. I am home this summer, and I am finding that when I am home full-time (as opposed to my normal part-time) it becomes my responsibility to do everything...and that includes toilet training. And FWIW, Ben needed a diaper change this morning and I asked him to do it while I tended to Hannah...he never did it.

I do have to say though, that the ONLY time I tell Hannah to use the potty is when she wakes up in the morning (she pretty much goes on her own otherwise). She is often dry and I do want her to learn to go right away. Plus, I want to get that pull-up off and get underwear on her.

 

We aren't quite there yet, but with hubby traveling all week I can't imagine that he'll get into "potty mode" on the weekends when he's here! Who knows, he sometimes surprises me!

 

Not much here. We really wants them potty trainined but it's not going well here. At first they were really doing well but It's been 2 months and they still have LOTS of accidents. I'm thinking I started too early. I started them 2-3 wks before they turned 3.?
