Kids: Learning curve

Learning curve

By diapersplease - 07/06/2015 01:17 - United States - Buffalo

Today, I found out my husband potty trained my stubborn three year-old son who prefers diapers. He managed this by peeing with him and "sword-fighting" with their urine streams. I now have to clean pee off the ground every time he urinates. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I thought it would be a good idea to let my 19-month-old son watch me pee, since I'm trying to potty train him. I didn't consider that he might try to grab my penis. When he did, I was startled and peed all over the floor and my son. Good job dad. FML

Today, in an attempt to potty train my step-son, my boyfriend and I put underwear on him, hoping that when he peed himself, he would realize using the potty is the way to go. Instead, he peed while sitting on the couch, got up, took off the underwear, and then switched seats. FML

Today, my 2-year-old son figured out that if he takes his pull-up off and DOESN'T go on the potty, he can pee all over things. FML

Today, my husband taught our son how to pee while standing. His aim is as poor as my husband's, but I guess now they can blame their mess on each other. FML

Today, I've been potty training my son and almost all of his clothes have been peed on, but for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to do all the laundry together. When I was getting it out of the dryer, everything smelled like pee. FML

Potty drama

By NeverEndingBathtime_ - 03/08/2017 20:00

Today, my two year-old is being potty trained. He got the gist of it and actually did #1 and #2 in the potty and after our little celebratory dance, I went to get him a cookie (which took me two seconds). I come back to see him covered in shit and pee because he tried to go empty the potty himself. FML

New urinal

By fml9124 - 21/12/2019 05:00

Today, my wife caught our six-year-old son peeing in the bathroom sink. He pulled his little stool up in front, that he uses to brush his teeth, and was peeing in the sink. When we asked why, he said that he wanted to pee like a man, "like we do at football games." My son is using our bathroom sink as an urinal. FML

Today, after months of trying to potty train my son, he finally told me he used the potty. I went to the bathroom to check. There was nothing there. So I asked him "Where did you go to the potty?". He then grabbed my hand and took me to the cat's litter box. My son has successfully litter trained himself. FML

Today, the 3-year-old I nanny wanted to prove to me that he was tall enough to pee standing up in front of the toilet. When he realized he actually was tall enough, he got excited and misdirected his stream, covering himself, his brother, and me in urine. FML

Today, my son learned how to use the toilet for the first time. He was so excited he started peeing on the floor. FML

Does his tactic actually work?

Maybe something target related in the toilet can have him work on his aim and better yet they can sword fight with foam swords maybe...

Despite being messy, your husband sounds like a fun, energetic and eager man. He also sounds like an extremely involved father!! You have something very precious, so treasure it. This game won't last too long and soon it will be off to another adventure.

You would have to clean up the floor for a while after almost any little boy who's just been potty trained, regardless of how it was done. I think it was a good way, it got him interested and willing to do it. Pee on the floor is nothing new and something you'll get very very used to as a parent.

Try putting something in the toilet like a grape and tell him to hit the grape with his stream!

wow, this group is waaaay too uptight. This is funny as h3ll and I almost spit my drink out when I read it.... And if we have to be serious (right, on this site)... at least the boy knows that he shouldn't pee in his pants...it's more fun playing with his sword.... as another post said....now drop some targets in the toilet.... until winter comes... then he cab work on his "penmanship* in the snow!
