Reason 1. The Walk of Shame
You know what I mean, that shame faced walk up to the nearest shop person. You have to explain your embarassing situation. Your darling child has just peed on their floor. Then you offer to clean it up but they refuse to let you. And you walk slowing away, feeling awful because your terrible skills as a parents made your kid pee out in public.
Reason 2. The Ability but not the Will
Gremlin has just displayed an amazing skill, one that every boy seems to learn early. He can fart on command. he can't manage to tell me he needs to go to the toilet, ever, but he has enough control to FART ON COMMAND!
Reason 3. The Guilt
That knowledge that if you were just home more, if you were more patient, more attenitve, more consistent. you could get that child toilet trained. But you are just too darned busy.
If I keep this up, he'll probably be toilet trained before he goes to uni, what do you think?
I think you are putting too much pressure on YOURSELF!! not him, but you. Don't worry so much, he'll get there. You are doing a great job!.. and at least you tell the shop assistant and they don't discover when they stand in it.
