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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think I'd rather have him in diapers then deal with that mess.

No. The kid is 3; he might not be perfectly potty trained but he definitely needs to be trying to move on from diapers. I know you were probably just saying the mess would be awful to clean up but, as a teacher, parents who keep kids in diapers just because it's easier are the worst. Way too many kids joining kindergarten/reception without being potty trained nowadays, it's ridiculous.

I am pretty sure thats not right way to potty train

Yes it is. Make it a game and if you have to do some cleaning then that's just what you have to do.

Do they not piss all over each other when they sword fight? Definitely does not sound like a fun game.

The people I used to baby sit for, they have 2 boys & when they were potty training them, they had a special floaty toy in the bowl to aim at.

Just imagine what the kid does when he takes a shit.

#53 my parents own their own business (building sub stations) and my mom always had a problem with the guys aim in the bathroom. So she got a box of cherios put them in the bathroom and taped a note to it that said "I'm tired of cleaning piss off the seat, if you can't aim then use the cherios as target practice. If you still miss then stand closer or sit down." And it actually worked, definitely was a huge joke around the office for the longest time. Plus cherios are pretty cheep.

Being mother is a very difficult job..goodluck OP

Kinda your fault. Should have stepped up to the plate mom.

Well, sons like to emulate their dads and respect their opinions more than mom so it was probably best for him to do it than her. My wife and mother in law tried for 3-4 months to try and potty train our son, I did it in 3 days. Number 1 & number 2. Same thing with my girl. They just feel like they need to impress "Daddy!"

You're kidding, right???

Well, now you tell your son that in order to win the fight, he has to hit the target, which is the toilet.
sturschaedel 27
I suggest ceramic markers to paint a target in the bowl.

Floating toy to aim at! I've seen it work!
Gillett 23
Ok and what? At least y'all don't need to buy diapers. Besides, your child is on his way to becoming a "BIG BOY." My baby girl walks around the house in her princess underwear and 25 percent of the time doesn't make it to the potty but hey, I love her expressions when she does make it too much to complain when she doesn't! A small price to pay for such a big milestone I'd say!

If you want him to aim straight I suggest you put a cheerio in the toilet and tell him to hit the target.
Gillett 23
That works too.
RedPillSucks 33
or use apple jacks from the previous FML

Sorry #37 I don't think he wants his nipples chopped off and fed to some dog.

Thats a piss poor way of potty training

Could they at least go outside?
