Parents and potty training

[Goldilocks]

Stopping everything to put a child on the potty every 20-30 minutes is asking a lot IMO. This child does not communicate when she needs to go potty. Trying to catch her every half hour is "elimination training" not real potty training. This is parents training themselves, not the child. Stopping every 20-30 minutes seems a bit difficult especially with other kids to care for or in the middle of activities or being outside for 40 minutes. She also cries after she has a BM because of past constipation issues. Having her pee or poo her pants is not sanitary in my carpeted house. She has been in pull ups for a few months and I do put her on the potty when the other kids have their potty break time.
I don't think it's unreasonable for me to expect her to be dry for 2 weeks and being able to verbally ask for the potty before trying underwear here.
