so my daughter is 2.5 and has no intrest in being a big girl and using the potty.. we got her a "special big girl" potty seat and got undies and pullups for bed time.. but she wont tell me when she has to pee she just pees on herself and then doesnt tell me i have to feel to find out.. shes getting a rash on her leg from the wet undies.. im making her sit on the potty every 30 min and she has peed 2 times in it all day!! she gets up from the potty and then pees on herslef .. how do i get her to go to the potty!?!?!?!

my sister little girl was like that....she said that looking back she just wasnt ready and she wishes she would have waited another 6 motnhs to try instead of making it a frustrating experience :(

Hugs first of all cause I've had potty issues with all 3 of my kids. My boys had pee issues & wore Pull-ups for what felt like forever & now I'm dealing with my DD not doing #2 in the toilet at all. :( We also had a pee issue with her & I honestly tried everything to get her to go. The one thing that worked for us was to literally make her sit all day on the potty chair & give her the sippy cup. I'm a SAHM so I was able to put in the time & I lived with my mother who helped me. I'd try that for now & for the rash just use Triple Paste cause it cures rashes pretty quickly. Good luck!

Are you using any reward or incentive programs with her?

Yes, sometimes kids just need a little longer to develop the muscle awareness and motivation. :)

we started bare bottomed with my son & kept the potty chair in the same room.  when he started to pee, I set him on it right away.

I agree that kids have to develop the neurological ability to hold their bladders and control the output. That develops in it's own time. So you can't ask a child to do something they just can't. Sometimes just taking a break for a few weeks and trying again is all you need.

 I don't have any great ideas for you either, kind of in the same spot with my 2 1/2 year old DD, she does great one day and the next nothing at all.  I haven't taken the step to put her in panties all day just pull ups.
