Toilet training: Can somebody else do it for me, please?

Toilet training. The one parenting milestone I’ve been aggressively avoiding like it’s a Centrelink queue.

Tess asked if I had any tips and look, the only “tip” I have is that I am also terrified and not the guru you’re looking for.

In this episode I chat about:

• Why toilet training feels like the Olympics of solo parenting
• The three-day method everyone keeps recommending (no thanks, I choose life)
• My fear of rogue poos taking out every soft furnishing in my home
• Why I keep hoping someone will just whisk her away for three days and return her fully trained

If you’re also scared, overwhelmed, or googling “Can toddlers toilet train themselves,” please enjoy this journey into my panic.

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
