It has been so long ago for me when I potty trained my two boys I'm not going to be any help. Just wanted you to know I understand and you are so right it can be hard being a mommy!

Best wishes!

I didn't let my little guy wear underwear, pull-up, diaper, anything for 3 days.  It's kinda hard because you can't really go anywhere for those few days.  At night, I did put him in some sort of protection and by the end of the 3 days he was waking up with a dry pull-up so he started to sleep in undies.  I would make him go sit on the potty every 30 minutes and make sure he went.  Here we are 2 mos later and he only has the occasional accident.  By the end of those 3 days he was so proud of himself and told me he wasn't a baby anymore and was a big boy who wore underwear.  I wish you luck and I hope you will find a method that is good for you.  Another thing you can do is to put blue food coloring in the water (just a couple drops) and tell him when he pees the water will turn color.  That might help to entice him to go on the potty.

Check out the book How to potty train in less than a day. Great book helped me out a lot. OR you could use my older brother’s method and every time they Go potty in their pants hey would clean them off with a cold shower consistently. this works average three days. (he has 5 kids all potty trained). *lol* (now he didn’t start the shower thing until he knew they knew better, and if your son is 3 I’m sure he knows better.
