I had problems with my Son with this. I moved about 2 years ago and wanted to change his Nursery but the new one wouldn't take him unless he was toilet trained. He was 3 and a bit at that time. He had a few successful goes on the potty or toilet, but would always revert to nappies. In the end the Nursery he was at started suggesting sending him in without a nappy on. He had a few accidents but he got the hang of it. He was taken to the toilet when the other kids went, even if he said he didn't need to. I think they took him every hour for a few days and then made the gaps larger. I think he was kind of ready but needed a little assistance. I had tried a few times before, but just don't think it was the right time for him. I tried stickers rather than sweets for bribery. Maybe you could try that if the sweets worked they may too. I was also told by someone to put things down the toilet for him to pee at (cheerios to make a game of it) or the other was food colouring as it changed with the pee (blue I think, changing to green). As for poo, I personally think it best to not make a big issue of it as that is when they can start holding on to it and it will be painful (I was one of those kids ) Tell the HV to stuff it if you think he is not ready Good Luck KW

Sorry to hear that your Mum is not more helpful to you. I shouldn't comment on her behaviour, as I do not know her, or your relationship with her. It seems sad as you could surely do with support from her (I could if my Mum were alive!!). I am sure that if her actions prove successful and you get visited by SS, that they will see that she is just being vindictive. I am sure this type of thing happens more often than people think. She will regret causing you and your kids upset, I can assure you. <'> KW

Hi, I have seen this book on the NAS site and thought about getting it. Have just read your post and thought I would give it a go for my Son. I am totally at a loss to get him even remotely understanding emotions. When it has arrived and we have read it together for a bit, I will let people know how he responded KW

Yup - your turn KW

I am sorry for your loss. I didn't have that when my Mum died 13 years ago. What I did get was lots of visits in my dreams. It was hard to take but comforting too. Best Wishes KW

What a cutie Meep meep meep to Honey KW

Whatever happened to Baby Jane - sorry TheNeil, I did wait for someone to answer but no one did " I f***ed Jackie. Dirty cow. During what we were doing, she tried to stick her finger up my bum. I nearly hit the roof, you can imagine. I mean, what have you got to think of a woman who'd want to do that?" And no it isn't porn!! KW

hello KW

I don't think it would be chickening out by going to see your Mum Much better to get out and see her, than sit home and potentially feel sorry for yourself. I think you are doing really well, and yes it is early days, but if you keep going this way things can only improve. My Hubby had a similar situation. His ex-wife had an affair with someone she worked with. She used to come home and complain to him that people at work were talking about her and saying she was fooling around with someone. My Hubby innocently defended her honour and told her to get another job. She was supposed to be doing that, and doing a dry run of her route one Saturday when she went missing. She eventually turned up later that day to tell him she was leaving him. I met him a few weeks later, he worked with my Niece, and she introduced us. All I can say is, her loss is my gain All the best KW

My Sister told me the other week that she saw it in a catalogue and thought that her daughter would love it. Low and behold, the advert came on tv and she came running to Mummy "I have seen something - I wan't one!". Her daughter likes anything to do with farts, bogies and the like too KW

How strange - the cat flap has just gone crazy and my cat has run in I have locked it and put down some extra tasty food -- Thanks for the vibes

I'll send you some (((((((((vibes)))))))))) if you send me some - my cat has been gone for a week today She is 11 and has been having trouble with some bright young things that have moved in, think it has stressed her and she has never gone for more than two days Hope they both turn up soon KW

Congratulations KW

No extra advice - just totally understand how you feel <'> KW

I sat and watched it with my Hubby (who was more interested in seeing it than me), and we were just looking at each other every so often thinking 'not for me thanks'. I didn't have a problem with the breastfeeding so much, have watched other progs about this. I thought that the wee and poo thing was a good thing if you were prepared to do that, but I would not want to have to deal with that amount of accidents On the whole I just thought that they were all in their own little world, and as far as I am concerned they are welcome to it

Hi, I can't add anything to the good support and advice already given. Do take care of yourself (and the furred and feathered occupants of home), and I hope you will feel better soon. KW

Hi TheNeil, I am sorry that it hasn't gone so smoothly. I think you have a right to be annoyed and worried. I would be very wary of her intentions after this. It sounds IMO that she is hedging her bets. I hope that I am wrong and that all works out well. Take care KW

Hope you have a lovely time Let us know how it goes, have thought about taking L there but have been putting it off (can't think why?!!). KW
