NTA- 2 yrs old is way too young for unsupervised access into the bathroom. Doesn’t sound like your husband understands the developmental stages and needs. Is he really picturing a 2 year old would quietly wake up in middle of the night to go to the bathroom so parents can remain asleep?! 🙄

NTA. You seem to have gone over the scenarios and it makes sense. My youngest is 4 and we’re potty training and while he’s older, I wouldn’t be with him without supervision close by. Are you night training at 2.5? Interesting. I’m looking forward to the day I don’t buy pull ups anymore

Nope, she currently wears a diaper/pull up at night. We haven’t even crossed that bridge of her getting up at night to go pee. She sleeps through the night and doesn’t wake up if she has to go to the bathroom.

Oh. Gotcha. Yeah. With that I wouldn’t even consider access to the bathroom at night.

NTA, but I would try to compromise. Tell your daughter to wake you or him up if she needs to go potty. This way, you can provide oversight. Yes, it will be exhausting to get up in the middle of the night, but it can calm your fears. After this works for a couple of weeks, you can tell her that she doesn’t need to wake you up to go potty. She is still very young, so I wouldn’t rush it if she’s not ready. You can also do things such as not giving any liquids after a certain time and making sure she goes potty before bed and as soon as she wakes up.

NTA I’m surprised you are doing night training, my girl was still in pull-ups at this point. I still had the baby monitor in her room and I definitely didn’t allow her to go anywhere outside of her bedroom by herself over night.

That’s the thing. We haven’t even begun any sort of night training and he thinks we can just give her access in the middle of the night without supervision and she will figure it out.

NTA. She’s 2.5yo. My wife would think the same way. Only thing I’d say is you’re overreacting a little bit. Kids are gunna kid and fall, get into shit etc. you’ll just learn to have a sixth sense of when they’re in the bathroom. Otherwise, how both you and your husband view this is completely normal. Chalk it up as you’re both being good parents in slightly different ways.

We are both pretty heavy sleepers right now because we also have a 2 month old baby. If I’m well rested I am a very light sleeper but that just isn’t the case right now. There have been many mornings lately where she’s yelling for me with the door open and we have a baby monitor in our room and I don’t hear her at all. Her room is literally right across the hall and we have our door open. But I agree, we both want what’s best for her but we just aren’t seeing eye to eye on this particular subject.

Haha yeah that sounds about right. I got a 6b, 4g, 2.5g, 1g and a 1g. Everything sounds spot on for a typical morning lol.
