[quote=Anonymous]So I hear 20 to 30 months is the best if you want to potty train before 3. (I know a lot of people like doing it after 3 but we need her potty trained before 3 for preschool) right now dd is 25 months and showing some interest in the general concept of potty, underwear, etc. however, I was thinking of doing it at 29 months bc I’m tired and lazy, and I hate potty training. We have a big trip when she will be around 28 months so I thought I’d push it off till after then, but I wonder if doing it closer to 2.5 is harder, I don’t want to miss a good window. She’s pretty verbal and communicative now, but potty training feels like jumping off a big cliff…

Her brother potty trained at about 26 months and it went more or less fine, just temporarily gross. Ack boy potty training seems so much easier…

Should we bite the bullet now, or take the risk that she will be even more stubborn in 4 months? She’s kind of stubborn already but very sweet and occasionally eager to please. Very much in a “do myself!” phase.

Btw for a funny read on potty training and the myth of the magical window, read jessi klein’s new book on parenting, hilarious.
