A mother is going viral after she revealed her insecurities about potty training her son.
The mother opens up relating to her constant struggle that she deals with on a regular basis and now it’s really affecting her emotionally. Moreover, the mother adds how she does feel guilty and ashamed of sending her 3-year-old son to school in nappies while other kids his age are well versed when it comes to potty training.
The mother who was identified as Rachelle Stanley goes on to explain how she doesn’t like fighting this constant battle in her mind on how her son Jacob lacks toilet training. Speaking to The Sun recently, Rachelle added how she never received proper potty training when she was growing up.
For that very same reason, she opted to eliminate that step completely when it came to her own children. Hence, when she felt her son was ready, she chose to directly force him to use the bathroom without any steps of potty training involved. Hoping and praying that it would work, it just didn’t.
And now, her young child is still stuck in diapers with the mum feeling guilty on the inside. But what’s really shocking is how this mother from the UK is too stubborn to give in and adopt potty training because she simply ‘doesn’t believe in it.’
The mother sends her child to school with an extra pair of clothes as well as some diapers too. She even adds how the school’s teachers are super supportive of the fact that he isn’t potty trained. But when it comes to her own inner battle, the mum says that she knows that the world will judge her for this but she simply can’t let go.
“I am so afraid that people will judge me and in reality, I am very much ashamed as well,” she went on to explain during her interview. The mother adds that her son Jacob hardly ever communicates that he wishes to use the toilet. She ever tried to watch out for signs but in the end, he would just go all over himself.
What advice would you give this mother?
