I know what it's like to have a child who doesn't mind being wet or dirty - - my twins are like that. They couldn't care less if they got changed or didn't. However, your son is only 2 years, 3 months old. That is quite young still and most boys are not potty trained at that age. My advice is to stop the conflict and the fighting. Put him back in diapers for now and stop the potty training. He obviously is not ready. When he reaches 2 1/2 years of age try again. You may have a different result. If not, stop and try again 2-3 months later. You need to wait until your son is ready. It may be at 2 1/2 or it may be at 3 1/2. You need to be patient and let potty training take its course. As far as your husband is concerned, he must be involved. I say that as a dad and a parent. Your son should be going to the bathroom with your husband when he goes so he can see what daddy does in there. Children learn by imitating. He needs to see how daddy uses the potty and your husband needs to be comfortable using the bathroom with your son present. He should also be talking to your son about the potty, his diapers, being changed, etc. and playing an active roll in all of it.

I have a 2 year 3 month old son who is very strong will for a while at 1 year old he was doing ok with going to the potty he screamed but he wouldnt fight me for very long. Now he's in the pullups we try to keep on top of taking him to the bathroom but it becomes an out right war with him screaming dropping to the floor stomping his feet now he's starting to hurt his self when he doesnt get his way. I dont wanna make going to the potty a bad thing but i dont wanna just give up. He was in daycare for like a month and i told him i wanted them to start putting him on the potty and they wouldnt do it so it really set me back because before he was in daycare i could get him to go to the potty at least once a day. He will let me brush his teeth while he sits on the potty but doesnt do anything on it. My husband doesnt really want to help me that much with it he would rather i do it all i keep trying to explain to him its a group effort but he just doesnt get it. Im at my ends on all this i've tryed to use the different pullups but they dont do anything for him i've tryed usin the trainning pants as well but he doesnt. want to be changed he doesnt mind being wet and dirty i dont know what to do he takes a bath every night so its not like he stays dirty
