You don't need a single. damn. one. of. them.
Lower your skeptical eyebrow, young lady.
There are just a few pointers you must keep in mind.
Wait until your kid shows signs of readiness. What are those? Well, stripping down to naked any chance they get, having their hands down their pants at times, wanting to follow you to the bathroom, hiding to drop a duece behind the couch, and generally showing interest in the potty. This may manifest for months before actual readiness. Don't push the shit (no pun intended). If you force your kid, it will take a lot longer (sometimes YEARS), and your kid will fricken hate it. So put that ugly little pee chair in the bathroom, and wait till they want to do it on their own, which they may do once in awhile sometimes for months until they are good and ready to do so all of the time.
When they start wanting to "go" on a more regular basis, it's time. Kids basically will potty train themselves around age 2 to 3.
Boys are harder. Why? Because boys have a penis. (Yes, boys have penises. And girls have a vagina.) And boys mature at a later date than girls. For some reason, boys' bladders find it hard to hold pee at night, and wait until morning for release in the proper receptacle. Hold, and Wait involves multitasking, which is impossible for boys, and men. Courtesy of the aforementioned penis. So boys may not be fully night-trained until much later. But they find it fun to pee outside, drawers dropped, waving at the shocked neighbor lady. Poor Mary Lou.
Get no less than 10 pairs of cool underwear. Princess panties, superman skivvies, boxers or tightie-whities like daddy- let your kid pick. She will be less inclined to shat on the face of her favorite princess.
Get a ton of Gatorade, juice boxes, and those kool-aid burst things. These are the margaritas of childhood. Your kid will guzzle down this crap, filling themselves to nearly bursting, making trips to the potty regular and unavoidable.
Stock up on those awesome disinfecting wipes. God beamed these down to Target like the Manna from heaven. He blessed us with these easy to dispense with one hand pre-moistened wipes. Please use them.
Keep diapers on hand for naps and night time. It may be awhile before junior gets the hang of not peeing in his sleep. You don't need those fancy pull ups, except for when they are still wetting the bed at an older age, and wearing diapers is still necessary and a little embarrassing, especially at sleepovers.
Take the pretty rug out of the bathroom, or it will probably get pissed on. No worries.
When the time comes, make sure you will be home for a few days. It is impossible to potty train a kid on a safari in Africa, a plane ride to Spain, and a camel trip in India. Just don't do it.
Put your kid in their big girl panties. Give her copious amounts of liquids. Sit back and wait. After about 10-15 minutes, set them on their potty. Chances are, if they've gotten to practice a few times before, they will go. After that, just take them every 20 minutes or so.
Make a big fuss when they go. Clap your hands, wave your arms, and generally act like you won the lottery. In effect, you did. No more wiping rear!
They will have accidents. Just clean it up without any fuss. If you make a big stink about it, it will screw up your kid. No worries.
Be sure to put a diaper on at naptime and bedtime. No one likes a pee-soaked pillow.
If your kid doesn't get the hang of it, and wants to wear a diaper again, follow their lead. Kids pretty much potty train themselves. If they aren't ready, don't force the issue. Trust me, the kid will potty train when they are ready. You won't need to buy Depends for your high-schooler. (Although that would pretty much be a guarantee against premarital sex.)
Once they are potty trained, you are finally free from buying those big ugly boxes of diapers. You no longer need to carry a diaper bag, and when you go shopping, you don't have to worry about trying to find a bathroom with one of those changing tables. God forbid you pull into a crappy gas station where there is one dirty unisex bathroom, and you are forced with the choice to change your child on your lap or lay your sweet baby in a puddle of trucker urine.
So there you have it. If you have anything to add, feel free to add your comments below. Maybe you have something you can teach me!
