athenab1984`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll My daughter is 20 months and she starts to pull off her diapers and even hides behind furniture when she poops. She is embarassed if we `watch` her. I though this may be a sign for her potty training to begin. We bought her a potty when she was 13 months old, so she has gotten used to the idea of it. I let her roam around without a diaper and try to catch her when she is peeing and sit her on the potty. She screams bloody murder when she sits on the potty. Is this normal? will this phase end? Are these even true signs that she wasnt to be potty trained?

My nephew did that at about the same age, around 20 months. He used to go and hide behind the recliner when he would go. My BIL started training him right then and now he`s fully potty trained. He just was showing a lot of signs in general, like he couldn`t stand wearing the diaper anymore, he would just freak out and I could barely get them on him anymore. So they decided that meant he was ready and started right away.

I waited to my son was ready I treid him at about 2 and he screamed and carried on like a mad man so I left it. Now he is 2 and a half and 2 weeks ago we woke up in the morning and his nappy feel off and he said I want to wee so I took him to the toilet and he has been going ever since to wee and poo with no problems. For the first week I was only getting 1 accident a day and after that H ehasnt had any. I talked about going to the toilet alot in front of him and too him so he always knew it was there. Oncehe started using the toliet you wouold think the child had won gold at the olympics with the amount of praise I gave him. Good luck

My daughter hides behind furniture to poop also and so did my nephew, it`s a sign they want to be alone. I just started to really try and potty train my daughter. She wakes up dry every day so we go diaper free at night and go straight to the potty first thing in the morning. If she goes I say `you peed on the potty, you`re a big girl` so far it`s working. My friend also gave me an idea to give an M&M every time she goes. She does this with her son. Good luck.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
