So this is NOT how I wanted my first blog post to go, but hey I'm gonna keep it real. I just need to blow off some steam and figured this was as good a place as any. My almost 2 yr old son is in the process of being potty trained. Well, we thought he was ready. He was showing all the signs like...well...using the potty. First he pooped and then successfully pee'd on numerous occasions. But today I've reach my limit, I've had my fill. I am soooo over wiping up pee pee off the hardwoods, carpet, bed, you name it...
Just when I think he's making progress, he takes 2 steps back. We are trying to not make a big deal about his accidents but I am sick of cleaning them up!!!! It's hard not to raise my voice (which is my favorite thing to do unfortunately) but the words "That's ok buddy, accidents happen....next time let's try to put it in the potty" can only come out nicely so many times. I am at my wits-end. I'm trying to get things accomplished around the house so we can put it up for sale, be a referee between the 2 kids, keep everyone fed, plan a birthday party, and potty train Bubby (the almost 2 yr old). I don't want to put him back in diapers because he knows exactly what he's doing. It's been a week now and I'm also tired of feeling shut-in the house for fear of potty accidents away from home. How in the world did I survive this with my first child? It would be nice to actually remember things but somehow all of my brain cells have been dwindling away over the past 5 years and I literally can't remember shit sometimes.
Ok, I am feeling better already.
By the way, I do not mind people posting comments (as long as you're nice about it) but this is MY blog and I will make as many grammatical errors as I please since I don't plan to have this published anytime soon. So bite your tongue or don't read my blog. I also may seem to be asking for advice from time to time, but this doesn't mean that I necessarily want your advice nor will I actually take it (unless it is really good). This is just a place for me to journal some random thoughts and feelings, and really don't care if anyone reads this anyway. Some day I'll be able to look back and read some of this and hopefully laugh cause goodness knows I won't be able to remember any of it!
