Big Girl Pants

Big Girl Pants

Anyone who has ever had a 3 year old has been through the pain of potty training. It is torture. Kids will do anything to not have to stop and go to the bathroom. Teaching a child that it is better to go to the potty to do your business instead of sitting in it, seems like an easy transition, however kids don't want to stop playing, watching their shows, or eating long enough to go use the restroom. They will sneak behind the couch and hide while they poop in their pants before they will let you take them to the bathroom.  Now and then you get an easy kid, but they are rare, and those of us who have had to deal with the 4 year old pant poopers don't want to hear about it. In the area of debt, I am a 4 year old pant pooper. You would think after 20 years of sitting in my own mess I would easily run to the potty and want it to be gone forever, but not me! I want to make more, and then I want to sit in it a long time, because it's fun to carry it around with me and stink up the whole room. It am fully aware that this makes no sense, but I have mastered the art. I, like the 4 year old can easily walk around pretending the mess is normal and smells just fine. I have progressed to pull ups and am almost to the point of being able to wear my big girl pants in public, but its a work I progress. I still have little accidents. I like to keep playing, and watching shows and don't want to stop playing to think about silly things like amounts and limits. However when you add it all up, its a whole lot of doo doo.
When other's were cleaning up my mess, I didn't learn as quickly, but now that I have to clean it up on my own, it's nowhere near as much fun. Its time to get clean and stay clean; let's do this.
