Today, I finally convinced my son to use the potty. Later, he saw a show on TV about a toilet monster. Now he's too scared to even step foot into the bathroom. Here's to another few months of diaper changes. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son learned how to use the toilet for the first time. He was so excited he started peeing on the floor. FML
Today, my five-year-old stepson announced that he is finally no longer scared of flushing toilets. Immediately after, I discovered that he's now decided that he's scared of the bathroom sink. 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, my toddler finally used the potty for the first time. I was so excited, I FaceTimed my mom to show her. My kid then proudly picked up the potty bowl and dumped it on my lap. FML
Today, the little boy I nanny for finally stood up and went 'pee-pee on the potty'. I started cheering and clapping, making a big deal out of it. I flushed while he smiled proudly and pooped on the floor. 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 toddler peed in his potty for the first time. He was so excited to show me that he flung the pot in the air dousing my face with his piss. Then he laughed. 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, 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
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

how old is he? if he is young enough to start potty training then he probably shouldn't be watching that. fyl though. just tell him there is no such thing. maybe watch him the whole time? that would help me. hah

Tell him that it's a good monster that eats poop and we all have one so we don't get sick!

You could probably sue the TV channel for that. Here in the UK some woman had a Marmite advert (involving a giant blob of Marmite) banned from TV because it 'gave her 2-year-old nightmares'.

That's got to be the dumbest thing I have ever read. If a child gets scared watching something, it's not the network's fault. If the child were watching a channel that they shouldn't have been watching, then it's the parent's fault. You can't have something banned just because it scared your child.

I feel for you, been there and doing that. Slay the toilet monster with toilet cleaner and tell him that why the toilet is kept clean, it will stay away. Just a suggestion, but make it fun and they want to do it and they get over their fears at the same time

#34's suggestion is great. it teaches the kid how to stand up to his fears.

yeah potty training sucks one of the kids at the daycare I work out fell in once so he's afraid to go now we told him how his poop wanted to go with the other poop and swim with it's friends in the potty.

Sometimes turning the kid around on the potty gives him something to hold onto for balance.

That's why you monitor what your kid's watching on TV. You don't just plop them down in front of it and hope for the best.

Your kid's young enough that he's not potty trained and you can't be bothered to pay attention to what he watches on tv? Nice parent.
