Oh Crap! - How long were you on Block 1?

OP - how old is your DC?

Are you in a power struggle at all?

OP with an update.

Pee has been going well. But poop…oh man.

She has zero cues that she’s going to poop. It just falls out whenever.

We moved to Block 2 but she just kept pooping her pants. At first she would freak out and scream but now she doesn’t even care and poops in them like a diaper.

Mentally I feel exhausted and burned out. We are stuck at home 24/7 and it’s taking a toll on our mental health. I’m really sick of staring at DD all day waiting for a poop.

She’s 30 months but was a premie, so I’m ready to quit and try again in a few months.

I’m just scared that by quitting now, we’re never going to get there. H is very determined to keep at it but I feel like we are just taking steps backwards.

It sounds like maybe going back to block 1 for poop is the next move? Just to make sure she has the concept down first.

It definitely is so exhausting but I think if you can get past the next few days it is seriously going to change your life! It is so freeing to have potty training behind you. You will get there whether you keep going now or waiting until later, but if you can stick with it now you will get there (eventually). If he has more bandwidth right now, ask him for a break so you can fill your cup (get your nails done, go to movie/yoga class, whatever) and try to come back with fresh eyes.

She can do it!!!
