It's not just the fact that I am prego... but these days something else makes me so so so MAD that I want to kick and scream and ignore everything and just stay in my room... what is it that you ask makes Sara the mother of 2 pregnant with another so MAD?
A 4 year old that wets her panties... not wets tinkles in her panties. Up until about 2 months ago she was doing just fine, she would go potty in stores, and maybe have to use 2 pairs of panties a day but now for some reason she has backfired. It can't just be because I am pregnant and she wants attention... I am not that sick and tired, I have the energy I need to take care of my kids, but I am seriously and COMPLETELY at my WITS End... thank goodness for Dave for keeping me sane and stepping in when I am so angry steam is coming out of my ears...
She doesn't wake up ever at night to go potty sleeps through the entire night and is just fine. But as soon as she wakes up she goes potty like 5 times in a row and each time she needs a fresh pair of panties. If I hide her panties than the most recent ones she has dirtied just get re worn over and over again, and that makes her itch so that was a bad idea. If I let her have her way she will dirty all her panties in one day... she has 4 packs of panties... so that's at least 20 pairs of panties... do you see my problem. And when she goes potty she just tinkles she doesn't actually go, but sometimes she doesn't go at all. She can go to pre-school and not have to go at all and if she does she keeps her panties dry...
If this is really how potty training is going to proceed with all my kids.. I am going to be bald and obesse from frustration... I am so angry.
where did I go wrong. She doesn't have a bladder infection she has no symptoms... there is no rhyme or reason to it other than to give up and put her back in diapers. And I have been working on the potty training process since Daphne was born so 2 years... wow... so pathetic... I just feel like a complete failure as a mom...

Good heavens! Please don't blame yourself! You're an awesome mom and some kids are just that way. Rumor has it that my mother was worried I wouldn't be potty trained by kindergarten (not that I remember) =) Hang in there! Just let the gal go half naked at home. You're almost all girls =) And wrap the whole house in plastic so you can just wipe down each mess. See? Totally easy!
I completely understand how you feel. It's really frustrating when potty training doesn't go very well. This happened with both of my boys after having a really easy girl to potty train. As hard as it is, I had to try my hardest to not get upset and just keep encouraging. It will eventually come. I certainly wasn't perfect at my own advice though. After she is finally potty trained you'll look back on it and realize it didn't last as long as it felt like at the moment. You are not a bad mom. Potty training is hard sometimes. I promise she will get it eventually even though it doesn't seem like it. :)
