Hello!

I look after a 3 year old girl. Mom and dad have never, ever even sat this child on the potty. They told me if I want to potty train her, then I should feel free because " we don't have the time to do it, except maybe on weekends. Maybe then we could try......maybe"..... .
Anyhow, I've been trying to potty train this child. Sit her on the potty once an hour, tell her she can have a treat(tic tac, which has worked great with all the other kids I've helped with training), offering lots of praise, reading stories about her favorite characters that use the potty, etc......she refuses. She will hold her pee and poop for HOURS, until she cannot hold it any longer. She will sit on the potty for 15 minutes and hold it and the INSTANT I put her pull up on her she pees and/or poops. She told me she loves diapers and will NEVER use the potty. I asked her why and she says "Because". So very frustrating! I've looked after children that weren't keen on the idea of using the potty, but never anything like this. I've been trying for months. I think it's alot because mom and dad aren't on board at home, overall they are awesome, but not on this issue.......suggesti ons? She is actually getting to the point where diapers are getting too small on her and her dirty diapers are squishing out of the sides and top(gross I know, but true). Oh my.
