oh Katy. 
it will get better. Before you know it all kids will be potty trained and you can worry about other things. Like where your daughter is when she's out till 10:00pm with the boy with the mohawk hair and piercings in his eyebrows bringing her home on his motorcycle. Or if your son knows how to use that condom his buddy gave him during 3 period spare, when he's out with his girlfriend at age 17. She by the way is only 15. Or that your son who took your car to pick up his hot little date and a pal from school behaves hiself and doesn't speed or drink and drive. Ahahah now doesn't that make this potty training stuff seem like a piece of cake?
Hugs.. I know it's tough!!
My Princess is 18 months old and I am trying to "pre" pottytrain her...like we are reading potty books, and talking about potties and pooping and peeing...and I am hoping that somehow, someway, this will make it easier when we go to do the actual potty training in a few months. Please, don't burst my bubble and tell me it won't work; just let me be delusional.
And YAY - I love my blinkie, by the way!
ROTFLMAO! I am trying to potty train my oldest. It took me days to get the urine smell out of that bathroom from the first week of 'training'. And today I just saw him pee without holding it... all down the side, on the rim and in the bowl. I was hoping the second would be easier, but it doesn't sound like it.
LMAO...Katy, it really does get better! You will however aquire new frustrations to take the place of these "potty training days". I now get sick to my stomach when my son gets in a car to drive.
Katy, if it makes you feel any better, I have to re-potty train myself every time I read your blog, and I'm 30 years old!
I'm lucky I didn't have to potty train my boys. I just waited for forever and they finally did it themselves and they were night-trained at the same time, too.
yowsas!
I haven't laughed this hard all day! Unfortunately, my daughter is 22 mos, which means I should be starting soon..this makes me want to keep her in diapers a little longer!
Have a good day
I still wear diapers. What's the big deal?
Oh, Katy! I feel for you. Really. 
oh my goodnits..I said a prayer similiar to this a few years ago...I'm going to have to dig it up ones of these days...cause thank God it's in the past now.
Except for my pansi ass cat that pees everywhere.
Wait, and my 5 y.o that waits to the last min to go, therefore pooping his pants..
Well at least my oldest girl doesn't make her dolly go swimming in her poo-poo pee-pee water anymore while on the toilet.
She just still wets the bed often (12) and as I write this, NO JOKE, she just farted near the fan that is facing me...so the room smells like..you guessed it, SHIT.
Sorry...it doesn't always get better as they get older. .LOL
Hang in there, I haven't killed mine yet. They are in therapy though. :o)
I feel fo ryou. we are doing teh same thing with Jonas and tehonly thing keeping the kid dry are bribes. BIG ONES. I'm hoping he catches on soo.
What fond memories your post brings back. I would rather be potty training Dan again,(that sounds yucky, don't tell him. He'll holler) than sitting here waiting and crossing of weeks on a calendar, waiting for his deployment to end.
You are headed in the right direction though. Prayer is better than paxil or alcohol. It is a natural remedy. It is what kept me going for 39 years.
Just think someday you will be able to tell your smart ass teenage son or daughter. "I use to wipe that ass and clean up your shit and you ain't to big for me to kick it now." Or just put the parent's curse on them, "I hope God gives you two kids just like you two...then you'll see." LOL
Hm. My doc said not to even try potty training my boys until they turned three. I didn't and they were trained in a few days. One had no accidents, the other had two. His preschool teacher even got on my case to train him earlier (he was in a 2 year old class) but I waited until his 3rd bday and said he was now three and wasn't allowed to wear diapers anymore so he just didn't. And went on the potty without practice. I thought I had it made until the third boy who took FOREVER. My daughter is 5 and still wears pull ups at night, and peed her pants until she was 4. They are all different.
I wish you luck and patience. Get a plastic mat for under the potty if you have carpet (I do). I even put a potty in our tv/rec room so they wouldn't have to run so far and would try more often. That helped.
Hated paxil. You really are hard up.
I never had thought of it that way Katy...God could pre-potty train them. However we would be skipping an important lessons. What about all of the great pop stories, everyone has at least one.
What about the important lesson we learn called humility?
Oh Lord, can't I just make mine stay 6mos?
Too funny, thanks for the laugh!
I think I just lost 5 lbs as I was LMAO. I'm not sure which is better, your post or the great comments on it. My son is now 17 and I have a 6 month old Granddaughter... yes, it truly gets worse. I'll take the poop and pee anyday!
I gave up on the drugs... Chocolate is the way to go!
I feel for you! I have to say you are scaring me even more about ever having kids!
Holy shit...I'm laughing my ass off.
Not AT you though, I'm laughing with you.
Potty Training Hell is in my near future.
Hang in there dear!
The Potty Power! DVD. That's the only lifesaver I can throw to you. It ROCKS, because although it is incredibly annoying to us adults, the kids immediately stuck with the potty training. I pray at the alter of Potty Power!
Shit droplets on the floor... now they just don't warn you about these things before you decide to get pregnant do they???
Here I thought I was the only one in potty training hell. I swear I thought my youngest (a bit over a year at the time) was going to be potty trained before my oldest (almost 4 at the time, and YES he missed a year of preschool because of not being POTTY TRAINED!). The oldest is now completely done except for those very RARE night accidents. I am now working on the youngest, now 2 1/2, who will stand there and look at you while she goes potty in her pants. Sometimes she's good though, and will ask you for something to wipe it up with after she does it on the floor. FUN FUN!
Ok, a little p.s. here... Is there anyone who has little boys that will not wipe their butts??? Why won't my kids wipe their butts?!?!?!!
I wish I could say I feel your pain, but it has been awhile since I have had to deal with that. But, I will get another try her in a couple years, so I won't jinx myself.
Oh, and I think I saw that prayer at church one time! Your not ripping on Catholics are you. Or is that the Paxil talking?
Erik
Dear Lord,
Thank you for birth control. And I especially want to that you for Katy. For reminding me how thankful I am for birth control.
Amen.
Yes Lord, let's pray for Katy. I spent the last 2 nights getting up multiple times since the Spreadsheet Expert seems to have a bit of a problem with the runs. Runs on the floor, rug, stairs...she just leaks all over the place. I can't imagine it with 2 of them and bigger at that!
I had issues when I was training Boo and apparently my grandmother had similar problems with my mom. As she told me: "Well I knew she wasn't going to walk down the aisle with a diaper bouquet."
I'm going through it again with Bee. In fact, I've got a picture I'll post for you when I get home.
And SalGal? Boo's four and a half and when he's done pooping, he walks up to me (no matter where I am or what I'm doing), bends over and says "wipe me."
This doesn't help those without in wanting to have any - Can't I have them when they are little and get them back when they are about 18?
I live vicariously through other people's kids at the moment and lets see I've had them throw up on me, tinkle on my while sitting in my lap, and ask me what his might think if when he turned 18 he joined a cult.
Now I hear about the evils of potty training - oye vey!

I am right there with you. I had poop on my bathroom floor last night, in fact. And there is always a pair of poop-stained underwear soaking in one or both of my bathroom sinks. My oldest is almost 9 and he still has accidents (don't tell him I told). And my 6 year old still thinks I should wipe him. I refuse.
Oh Katy, I feel your pain. JUst you wait, soon they will be potty trained and will gleefully relieve themselves in the front yard in full view of the neighbors. And that urine smell in the bathroom. Never. Goes. Away.
I suggest lots of Clorox wipes to clean after each use. On the toilet dear, not the kids. 
First of all, big hugs to you!
I'd rather give birth again than potty train, there's nothing worse (at least so far, my oldest is 9 and I've been assured the teen years will leave me wishing for this age. Scary.)
Next time you write to God, will you ask why we lose perfectly good teeth at age 6, and then have to make the replacements last 80 years?
I never had any of these problems. Instantly trained. "Watch this, son", as I cut the wiener into with sizzors? "Don't pee in your pants"...LOL
i bribed mine with money and m&m's...she's almost five and STILL asks for candy when she's done!
