We've been potty trained for a while now and I'm still not fully satisfied with it. Not with the results, we're doing quite good, but how it all works.
My child only pees 2, maybe 3, times a day. While this is good because I don't have to make a potty stop every couple minutes, it can be quite frustrating with planning. I know he can hold it for several hours but that is several hours after he has gone. So if he has not gone I do not have several hours. And I can't make him pee. I've tried sitting him on the potty when he has not asked and he simply does not pee. So I have to resort to back ups like diapers or disposable trainers just in case he decides he needs to go when there is no way I can take him, like on the bus. It would be great if I could have him pee right before we leave and know with certainty that I can get to my destination that is only an hour away with no problem. But he won't pee. And if I have a time I need to leave by and he does not pee I have to go through the process of undressing him to put on a disposable trainer. Then when we get to our destination undress him in the bathroom to get him on underwear. Too much hassle!
