My girl trained in a couple days, but still needed pull ups at night until she was about 4. She slept so deeply that she couldn't feel her need to pee.
My son is autistic. I couldn't train him. I bought every video, read every book, asked every mom. He went to preschool in pull ups, then within a couple weeks of starting kindergarten (special class) the teacher's aide had him in underwear with no accidents. I still don't know how they did it.
Wish you lots of luck with your little guy!

It's difficult work I know, but I'm just happy that my 14 years of college are finally being put to good use ......
My potty training was the worst 6 years of my life.
Good luck! And please keep us posted.
My son won't be there for a few years yet, but I've heard (and seen!) horror stories about potty training the lil' dudes. Hopefully I have enough knowledge to arm myself with when the time comes!

My Mom and Dad used to hit me on the nose with a newspaper when I missed the bowl tinkling.
My wife uses her shoe....

Apparently this part of it is more common than I thought.
Triston -- darling son of the prettiest girl in the trailer park -- at age four was very adept at using the potty, but less so at what came next.
His solution was to come out of the bathroom into the hallway, point his little bum at the living room, bend over and scream "Wipe me!"
Whenever Triston did that was the only time I ever saw his teenage siblings move with alacrity, and it was not towards him.
Thank you all for your encouragement and stories!
Funny thing about "boy peeing" at my house. My husband is very nearly blind without his glasses/contacts, and even with them his vision can be iffy depending of the quality of the light, etc. So he does a fair amount of his peeing sitting down, because he is a wonderful and considerate human being. My almost 14 year old son learned to pee sitting down, which was awesome. I think he stands up now, but I am not sure because I haven't been allowed into the bathroom with him in YEEEAAAARSSSS!!!!

I think all children are different. I only have one son and he liked to crash his wee with his Dad. When Dad was at work I'd go upstairs with a pitcher of water. It worked.As for poo they seemed to get sorted at the same time.
Oh, and I need to add....
When we were shopping for what we would need, we got the potties and the potty books. And I jokingly said, "We're older now, should we get a megaphone for when he's yelling 'WIPE MY BUTT!!!!' because you know we won't hear the poor thing..."
But, even with all that, we forgot to buy any undies or Pull-ups! I'm telling ya, this parenting stuff is not like "falling off a log." My brain really did lose all the information the minute I stopped needing it, I didn't even think about that part until late last night. And I can't even take solace in the thought that Tor's daddy has his back(end), because he was right there with me.
Guess who's going BACK out to the store tonight to buy Big Boy Pants? If you guessed "Senior Citizen Parents" you get 10 points and the rest of the afternoon off!

Yeah, now that you're into year 7, how is it going? You still seem to poop your pants around here a lot...My potty training was the worst 6 years of my life.
No worries hipmamajen, soon he'll be obsessed with and share every detail of his poop like all other men.
Speaking of which, let me tell you about the session I had this morning...

Doing pretty well, thanks. But mine don’t stack up to the excrement you bestow upon us... In count or essence.Yeah, now that you're into year 7, how is it going? You still seem to poop your pants around here a lot...
...what is the "potty training" of which you all speak???....
...my favorite story about my bonus daughter, is when she was learning to drop a deuce-her sperm donor was all over the house looking for her and calling her name...finally she answers him from the bathroom...he inquires "what are you doing?", and the innocent little three year old maiden replies-"Takin' a sh*t, what's it look like????"......
Reminds me of Here There Be Tygers.
Kid: There's a tiger in the boys room.
Other Kid: Oh yah? What's he doin', takin' a piss?

Huzzah!
This is what happens when you're hanging out on the patio and the boy pees in the potty and wants it cleaned out right away. Then pees while you're inside with the potty bowl.
I believe he may have set me up. Like a bawss.
