Struggles of potty training

My 2 year old child has been so good about potty training until his sister was born now he refuses too use the bathroom we tell him eber 15 to 20 mins that he need too go too the bathroom and he tells us no hes been so good but now he's not even wanting too potty train at all now he thinks its okay cause his sister uses the bathroom in her diapers he thinks its okay too do the same hes been potty trained almost over 3 months and now hes not even wanting too use it its so damn frustrating because im going through more wipes than I can afford rn hes always been really good im losing it with him if anyone has tips too help please .... his dad always reminds him but its nothing but nasty attitude about it

I don’t maybe it’s a regression issue maybe you should try talking to him my daughter loves going to the potty

@Samantha ill try that cause too be honest its kinda annoying with his attitude each time tho

Just try if all fails talk to a pediatrician

@Samantha i appreciate it thank you

It’s normal for kids to regress when a big change happens- like a sibling being born. Just give him some time and try again. He probably feels sad he’s not getting all the attention anymore. Have you tried a rewards chart or something like that to encourage him to use it?

@Lauryn we do a reward system we do things too encourage him too go but I feel like we will give it a shot again once things settle down I'm not sure weather hes been keeping up with it at grandmas and grandpas either cause they said it was a struggle too get him too go while being there too you could be right tho with the huge change tho

Every 15 to 20 mins is too often, especially if he has been potty trained for 3 months. He should only need minimal prompting at this point. I think asking so often has backfired and become a power struggle. I would back off a bit and let him take more of the reins. I was having a similar issue with my son, and when I stopped asking so frequently, things got much better. I only tell him at very strategic times (like before bed and long trips).
